I don't know, it's not like the Mini has a macho reputation.

Good point. In what way is a foreign v6 coupe a 'pony car'. The Z wasn't called a pony car, and OH LOOK 332 horsepower in base spec!

So, you agree slavery is evil and then defend the slaveowners? That's evil, too.

Truly a pyrrhic victory. Re-watching Burns' Civil War doc, autumn is a perfect time for those violin pieces and B&W photos. Don't worry, we have to save the union every few decades, we'll get it done again.

Well the Gran Turismo game came out before 2000. So there you go.

Here's a tip: wait until version 3.

Picture: Bumblebee Veyron! Sue'em GM!

I'd totally buy an HG Wells edition of any car. I want manual spark adjustments, handbrakes, dual purpose accelerator/clutch pedals, crank starters and a time machine.

R4 - That's a Daihatsu ripoff. And no tiger stripes? I'm shocked, disappointed and discouraged!

Why would employee ownership be a bad thing? Worried that they might take too much ownership of their success and failure? That they wouldn't want to strike? That they might sacrifice more and identify more with the company that pays their salary? Even the reasonable Republicans are starting to confuse me now.

nice, I lol'd. Are they also teasing a MotoNSX in a racing series that will never darken a dealership lot?

I loved the big Cadillacs as the last low, long and large America sedans. Now they're all 21st century. Foo. Bring us a Continental Lincoln!

Yeah, it will look great on dorky yellow minivans in a couple years!

Poor law enforcement. These aren't supposed to be readable IDs for public emergency and law enforcement. Now it's 'art' that needs to be judged and changes every year (hate the new NYS plates).

Ugh. It's a ripoff of the big Jag, which I saw this morning and couldn't help but stare at for the entire long red light. The hatch-like end is just mesmerizing in a large car.

Nice, can't help but go here:

The Flex is just too damn big. The Suburban market isn't into stylish flattops I guess. It's styling would be awesome at 3/4s scale, though, like the new Explorer! Come on, Ford! Give us a New, New Explorer, please?

I remember Pop mechanics in the old days. A futuristic Monte Carlo with a computer dash and headsup display I vaguely remember?

A Prius V?

The original nook color is pretty dense. Try it out at a store sometime.
