Well, it would have to be either my mom's car, a '68 Firebird in approximately this color:

Tres cool. If I get my ass in gear and whip my DS into shape, maybe some future kid of mine will be able to say the same.

That's pretty awesome!

I put about 1300 miles on a rental HHR when I took my kids out to California for a 10-day road-trip/camping extravaganza. Yeah, it felt cheap and nasty, but it had way more utility than the Cruze or Cavalier or whatever the hell econosedan it was based upon. So it had that going for it.

The RX Coupe would be a more legitimate chapter in the WRX's brief history than the Legacy. Especially as the Leone was, in fact, the Impreza's immediate predecessor.

I think the price is high, but unfortunately, I think it's a sign of things to come as virtually every CRX out there has been sacrificed on the Altar of Bad Taste.

Stiffer, longer and wider chassis

"Let me tell you something else. I've seen a lot of spinals, Dude, and this guy's a fake. A fucking goldbricker."

Well, good on your parents for turning you on to it! Here in Detroit, circa 1981 or '82, it started to get a lot of airplay on WRIF, amplified in no small part to WRIF radio personality Dick the Bruiser's parody song, "Catch a Good High." The Kings' original version remained a staple of Detroit radio for a few years…

Great tune. Just curious, though, Travis—where'd you grow up? Radio play for this song back in the day must've been real spotty, because when I've played it for a number of my non-Detroit-area friends, they had never heard it. Makes me wonder where it was in rotation and where it wasn't.

Already knew this, but that's okay. I never mind seeing more Bristols on Jalopnik.

It's the car that will provide the most credible cover for a "confused" senior who presses the wrong pedal by accident.

Yeah, well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Rover SD1 tail lights on the early Esprit.

The Aston Martin Virage used VW Scirocco tail lights and Audi 200 headlights.

Yeah, I do. He has a history of acting like a petulant child and I thought he'd grow out of it as he got older and especially as he's accumulated such impressive results that he shouldn't feel that he's got as much to prove anymore. This weekend proves that he hasn't really changed. Not just his conduct during the…

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. If the team's agreement was that they would hold their positions after the last set of stops, then all Webber needed to do on his outlap was keep Vettel behind him. Webber and Horner both say this was the deal. Webber says he was told to turn his engine down and that…

Given Vettel and Webber's history, I don't think it's a merely semantic difference, though.

No, I'm saying that Webber almost certainly came out of the pits on his last stop with normal engine mapping, held off the charge from Vettel (whose tires were fully up to temp, unlike Webber's) through that lap and then got the "multi 21" call from the pit and turned down the engine before Vettel passed him.

Where was Vettel told he'd get his chance? All I heard was his engineer telling him to be patient and that's not quite the same thing. Vettel had a chance to do a Schumacher and put in some fast laps after his last stop and jump Webber in the pit sequence. He didn't do it.
