I am a little confused. I get your point — cars are meant to be used. But these things have a particular purpose. I would commend these guys for doing this with a Jeep (or whatever) that is suited to this kind of trek. I would also commend them for learning to race properly, and then taking these things out and…

By this explanation, I am now sure that the awful 2.0T in my wife’s Audi B8 Avant is definitely a wankel. Mystery solved, because that thing eats oil almost as fast as it eats gas.

True — I’m thinking that basically nobody reading this article is concerned that they will be the guy buying this car (or something similarly priced), which is why we’re all so concerned with the maintenance prices (which are, at least for me, closer to my budget for my next car).

I feel old saying this, but for me, these super cars (and even many other “exotic” cars) are just not enough better than standard sports cars for me to be willing to put up with the headaches.

“and the car will be prepared for delivery.”

No, I wouldn’t. But my wife would, in a heartbeat. Really at any price. I don’t get it.

And therein lies the truth of why dogs rule. “Ferrari, minivan, whatever — my only question is where’s the window, and is the door handle wide enough for my feet, because I’m going to be putting my head out that window like its my job.”

Or rather, her head on straight.

Say what you will about Ferrari owners, but this one clearly has his head on straight, and isn’t taking things too seriously. If I didn’t know better, I’d guess it was Doug on his way to finding a mattress to sling on top.

Man, I kept wanting you to draw the analogy to “Intel Inside” instead! After all, Intel even out-Microsofted Microsoft by crossing the great divide and getting themselves linked up with Apple as well.

I never know whether to feel good or bad when I see one of these things getting wrecked. I mean, even if it is some rich amateur making a fool of himself by trashing a race car costing a few hundred thousand dollars, on the other hand, the alternative is some rich amateur letting one of these glorious beasts just sit…

Toys that teach! Hilarious. From the PJs, looks like that was probably the maiden voyage on Christmas morning too.

That’s a good looking car. Shows what the Miata could look like. I always end up liking the Miata’s look in every way but ______ (depending on the model), where as this one I can say doesn’t both me from any angle. It’s got a bit of a 911 look to it.

Your ability to connect those two images has got to be some sort of superpower. The resemblance is indeed uncanny.

That Lincoln is so bad looking, it makes you wonder if Lincoln is trying to help the green initiative by turning everyone off of SUVs. If so, brilliant strategy, and A+++ execution. If not, . . . . wow.

Though this clearly was much more of a long shot than a Tucker, this does seem like yet another example of how we spent many of our advantages following WWII by going the safe route rather than trying to hold onto the technical gap we had over much of the rest of the world at that time.

That’d be a very, very tough argument. They have “3 Series” registered as a mark, but no rights to “3" or “series” for cars. Thus, you’d have to prove that there was a likelihood of confusion between the word “3 series” and “model 3,” with real survey evidence. I can’t see that happening in a statistically significant…

I do, and I agree. But I also believe some of the less fortunate of us remember how perfectly placed they were for permitting entry of Bronco and Explorer bumpers. Put simply, this trend toward high belt lines and smaller windows is yet another thing I hold entirely against SUVs.

That’s really strange, because my brother, who is 6'5" (like me), drove cross-country in one of these with his college housemate back in the 90's, and though I believe his friend did most of the driving (the car belonged to my brother’s friend), he definitely shared the responsibilities, and never mentioned the…

And, regardless of the what the rules are in California, the fact remains that all people know that buses always get the right of way, because they’re buses. This is one of the first screw-ups for the robotic car, and it’s because the robotic car doesn’t have any fear for its own safety. This is one of the few times a…
