I thought it came from the Meme virus, which is a fast-spreading virus. Also explains Viral.

How about 24 hrs of Le Mans?

The sequential lights are awesome, but the shape, ehhh not so much.

I think they're just meh, but I did hate seeing them when they first came out. I'd like to see taillights like they had on the 67 Shelbys, where it went all the way from the fender to the filler cap. Or like on the GTR concept car.

Lincoln seriously needs a high-powered, rear wheel drive flagship car to compete with BMW and Cadillac. Maybe something based on the Mustang chassis. Remember the LS? Something like that, but with more power. Possibly equipped with the new 5.0, 375 hp, six-speed manual and automatic with paddle-shifters optional,

Agreed. I'm in the same boat as you, 23 with a couple Mustangs, one of which is a '65 I bought at 14 and restored. I routinely autocross both of them. My friends back home all have classics that they work on and cruise in. However, my wallet currently does not support my habit, so my love of cars is not as apparent as

Thanks for the reminder, for some reason I had forgotten completely about the De Dion. Looks like it has some limitations in travel unless the tube is very curved around the diff. Also wasn't aware that Alfas used transaxles. Interesting.

That rear suspension is...unique. I have honestly never heard of a solid rear axle being mated with a chassis-mount differential and CV axles. I don't quite understand why someone would go that route. A true live axle woulda been cheaper and probably easier, and a full IRS would handle better. So why take the worst of

That car is kinda like how one might make the ultimate hoon car on a budget...using a Crown Vic. But since this is a Maybach, I'm not sure. It's almost like a Mad Max autocrosser. Damn, now I kinda want to cut up a CV and put 3" flares on it and take it to autocrosses. Maybach? No. Crown Vic? Yes.

It could even be argued that the 350-370Z and the Genesis Coupe are attempting to steal the Mustang's spotlight.

An addendum: if a victim dies at the scene or soon after the emergency services show up because of these asshats, they should face jail time for manslaughter.

I think a crowbar hit to the car every five seconds until it moves back into traffic should be perfectly acceptable. Or just shove the cars into the grass where well-placed shots to the tires using a .22 would keep them from going anywhere until cops show up to ticket them.

I fully support this idea. Hey, it's their fault for getting in the way and being dumbasses.

I was thinking a new V6, around $25k. I mean, who wants to buy a (almost) new car with a blown transmission? (this guy)

A few months ago (I think) a German airport was shot up. Wait, actually I think it was a bus full of American soldiers. Nevermind. (still in Germany, though)

Just do a control arm drop, springs, shocks, swaybars, and a set of subframe connectors, and you got yourself a fun little ride. I prefer the coupe, myself. More rigid and whatnot.

Now, the MT82 trans is rated to 382 lb-ft of torque. The 5.0 Coyote motor puts down 390 lbs-ft of torque. Therefore, it will fail sooner rather than later. You just don't do that. Why didn't Ford put in the T56 from the GT500 or something? You know, a transmission that can actually take the power? Dammit, Ford! Why

Exactly! It seems like only aircraft meet the bill for naming. Osprey, Raptor, Super Hornet, etc.

But that can be accomplished without acronyms. Most fighter planes have badass names, but they aren't acronyms. F-35 JSF, no ring to that one though.

I actually hate how now everything must be tied to some acronym. Look at any weapon, system, program, or plan developed after '95. There's an 80% chance that it's name is an acronym. (and 60% of statistics are made up). Why must everyone ruin a perfectly good name with an acronym?
