Actually, 5-door MINI's (a different company from Mini, which people compare it to) make tons of sense.

So it is a 5-door wagon, with fantastic BMW engines, a nimble chassis, tons of character, a premium interior, and compact yet accessible rear seats? Um, that's kind of awesome.

Yep, saw them on their reunion tour back in 2010. In fact, they played this very song. Have also so seen Malkmus and the Jicks a couple of times.

Nice choice, though "Shoot The Singer" is my favorite song on that EP. As for seeing them live, no I never have, though I hear Malkmus' new band is pretty awesome.

Yeah, I've seen them a bunch of times. They're from my hometown, and I've been in two bands with their first drummer (Death's Ugly Head, Creole Jukebox Pocahontas) and knew S.M. and Spiral Stairs back in the Young Pioneers/Straw Dogs/Bag O'Bones days.

Seen them twice and they were deliciously shambolic. These days I think I might actually like Malkmus and his Jicks better though..

Yes. They were a great live band. Saw them around 93-94. Crooked Rain Crooked Rain album tour.

For me, the 964 RS America is the porschiest Porsche of all time.

"S" for Soccer.

Free at last. Free at last. Thank god almighty we're free at last.

Just working out the math on this one. Assuming those are naturally aspirated 1HZ diesels in the land cruisers (129 hp/210 ft-lbs) and 3% hp loss for every 1000 foot above sea level, and figuring in a known 30% drivetrain loss the the 80 that works out to mean that those HDj80's have...at best...45 hp to the wheels…

The front end of the new wrx/sti is absolutely beautiful.

A simple GIS and look what I find:

What new parents can afford repairs on BMW's or new Volvo's?

Pretty much every car is slower doing 5-60 than it is from 0-60. This is because when accelerating from a stop, you can dump the clutch at high RPMs (or brake torque the car to high RPMs if it is an automatic). When you accelerate from 5-60, you have no choice but to accelerate from low RPMs because the car is already…

Call me old-fashioned, but the beltline on that car is way too high!
