As a former PT Cruiser owner, I definitely get some of the hate the car garners. However, it's by far not the worst car I've driven. If someone wanted to make a mod version of it, they should go less for the goofy, 'leave it to Beaver' route, and find some way to cram a V8 in it, do a RWD drivetrain swap off of some…

I really, really like this.

Neither I, nor my fiancee (also female) are particularly decent at parallel parking. However. I feel that owes largely to us not living in the city, where it's a day-by-day reality of motoring. In the suburbs, it's virtually impossible to find yourself in a situation in which you must parallel park. That aside,…

Tire Smoke: It doesn't work that way.

That's COTD material right there, for real. I'm hyperventilating.

His options suck. BMW isn't going to reschedule retooling their line for the F30 for one man, no matter how right he may be. He can file for compensation, or take the car. If I were him, I'd take the car, take a life lesson out of it about attachment to an idea, and enjoy his M3, a car most people would love to…

Where's the pod, and how much do I win for participating in an (awful, George Lucas-designed) race with it?

Just like all the businesses? Not a bad idea. I already spend a good portion of my time in Springfield anyhow, and may wind up near Boston by summer's end, a much more pleasant place than central CT.

Some recalls are pretty innocuous. My model of car, though not my car specifically, had a run of cars with a defective windshield wiper motor on the passenger side. The result? That wiper had a chance of not working. This, obviously, would not impair driving. But it is an inconvenience. Would it impact a rental?…

Ahh, the Focus. I love mine. :D

As another Bristol resident, I feel your pain. As far as I'm concerned, aside from local tax dollars, which the city definitely isn't using on our roads or anything (even Southington has smoother pavement!), they're not doing much for our community besides gobbling up property.

I hate ESPN. I live in the same town as their HQ, which is where that new expansion went. They're 'the biggest employer' by the numbers in our town, but nobody from ESPN actually lives here. A bunch of roads had to be closed off in a busy part of our town in order for them to carry out this little upgrade, too.

"You're a dork, they said. You don't need a fire extinguisher in your 'fresh driftmobile'. they said. WELL, WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?"

I feel bad about laughing as hard as I did at that. Thanks, jerk.

2 Blurry, 2 Dubious. Your spies have failed us for the last time, Travis.

600, 459, or 436 horsepower? It's got split personality disorder! Crazy raptor is crazy.

All of the sensuousness and sex appeal, in one flowy, swoopy body panel. Automobile erotica.

Absolutely amazing! It's like what you'd expect someone from 2340 to come up with if you asked them to design their idea of a 1960s LeMans racer. This is everything that hyperactive lambo isn't.

The Swede, without a doubt. The 900Turbo is not onlu a classic, it's also a little tastier (as much as you can say for taste with a car with a kit). The Merc shouts dope-slinger, and I'd rather not get pulled over in that.

Smores, I'm quite envious of your easy access to your uncle's F430. It really is a stupendous machine. She's also far more tasteful than her younger, hyperchiseled supermodel sister, the 458.
