after careful analysis and in-depth scientific-type reasearchification, I’ve conclusively and irrefutably determined that the best way to make NASCAR both safer and more interesting is to replace the cars with skittles.

aside from warging into Lassie (I hope she’s not in heat), how about rallycrossing, you know, STOCK cars. I’d pay good money to watch a fctory livery stock WRX duke it out with a likewise factory livery S3

waitaminute... Let me see if I get this straight;

That’s a great solution IF the repairs on a car that has between 90k-200k miles don’t bust the $1500 bank on a regular basis.

yes, in your prized car that you admittedly infrequently drive.

That’s kinda my point. Driving any old car is like a game of when will it break.

so in terms of your Honda, when it dies, what is ‘dead’? I’ve brought jeeps back from bare frames to save them because it was cheaper than a new Jeep. I just (heartbreakingly) dropped $1300 in parts to rebuild the front suspension/steering/drivetrain/exhaust on a 14 year old Tacoma with 170k miles on it. Financially…

Audi allroad S4.

I’m torn on this one. My first two guesses would be Toyota or Honda. Not because of cars like the FR-S or the S2000, but because every time they change the Camry or Accord, they risk upsetting literally millions of people who base their car buying decisions on how little their cars actually change. Must be like…

I’ve had similar experiences with Audi.

so if our own military doesn’t use these ramps, but our customer/allies do, then.... this was a marketing exercise?

hey, I used to own a diesel. I’m converted from the church of dieseltology. I’m more than willing to hear counter arguments. I don’t own a diesel (anymore) I don’t have a dog in the fight.

Diesel is evil. It used to be good, when Otto’s invention ran on straight heating oil (or peanut oil!) and had limited moving parts and none of those parts moved electrons.

And Connecticut.

is that New Jersey? looks like Rte 287

IF GM expects to take a ‘Kitchen Sink” approach with the Malibu, they may want to start by making a car that can actually fit a kitchen sink. They’re typically called wagons. And while you’re at it, give it AWD.

you, um... read brony posts?

two things:

we should totally get a kickstarter going to put that guy Buzz Aldrin punched on this manned trip so that he can, on live webcast, look out at the lander and admit its presence. then leave him there.

again my opinion (not everyone’s) but I would like to see Audi define their design language. right now, they don’t really seem to know what makes an Audi an Audi, but they know how to make all the cars look the same. I drive an S4. I have owned 2 A4’s prior, and my wife has an A3 (older vintage). I couldn’t tell the…
