I can only recommend your comment once; it'll be a great lament that I can't recommend it more times.

Actually, come to think of it, I'm surprised no one has mentioned this guy. He's a great trope of what happens all too often (especially among the early 20somethings that typically show up to the local car scene here).

I know this feeling... all too well.

I've found this to be rarely the case among the other women I know who are car-freaks/jalops. Not to say, that like dickheaded guys, they aren't out there, but lumping all of us into this one category in such a standoffish manner says more about you than female automotive enthusiasts.

This article made my day. Thank you. :) There are enough of us in the car scene that I don't think it should be that kind of a ridiculous occurrence to people to see us at car meets, the track, etc. I think possibly my biggest gripe is the last one you mentioned, about the 'bad azz street racers (vtec just kicked…

For some reason, I expect we'll continue to see Mr. Zimmerman cropping up in the news every so often.

Can't say I have much nice to say about bosozoku. The only reason they're allowed to exist is because the Japanese police are a bunch of pushovers.

I've seen these on both TV and Hulu. They don't piss me off, but they are eye-roll inducing. I've always done my research, I'm part of my local car community/culture, drive stick, and am generally comfortable with going into a sales situation and bending the other party over. No male accompaniment needed. Lots…

Also, I forgot to mention earlier, but I've seen on HR.net & Club4AG much nicer examples for the same money. This is car's an unmitigated disaster maybe worth only a few bucks for the shell.

• The interior/leatherwork is ghastly

Don't be coy, Jalops. You know in your hear of hearts, the answer is the Dacia Sandero.

F&F has had an awful influence on car culture around here. It still surprises me how many people think emulating those films is legitmate modus vivendi.

This 4-series business is a serious bungle. The M3 name had cachet.

Sweet. Maybe richboy will think twice about ignoring regs again? Not only did he not have his papers, but driving around without insurance? A-Class douchenozzle.

Yes! Yes! Viva la Revolution! #HotWagon

You no longer need to wonder what that was like from his perspective.

Speaking of GT6's demo, it's now up on PSN. Not sure when it'll be available for us dirty Americans.

Watch out, we got ourselves a badass over here! /NdGT.

I have a manual, 2012 Ford Focus with the sport package and some aftermarket goodies. It's far from boring, returns great fuel economy, gets a lot of thumbs-ups (even from 'higher tier' cars like WRX STis), and fits a ton of junk inside it. It's also dead-nuts reliable. Its cousin, the new Mazda3, should be pretty…

Absolutely! It is an every day, gas-sipping, fun mobile. It's got an excellent transmission, great, grippy sport buckets, solid brakes, and a wonderfully supple chassis. There's already a decent amount of stuff out for the car, and it's a complete sleeper even if you've put everything under the sun for it on the…
