Mine's only a 525iA, but can't complain about that 30 or so mpg on the highway :)

I'll never own a supercar, so I couldn't care less if supercar production suddenly stopped. I know, I'm a terrible American.

I go to a junior college in Palm Beach, FL (the Gardens campus in the more affluent area) and you'd think we would have some nice cars in the parking lot, but you'd be mostly wrong. I remember seeing a Cayman and a Trailblazer SS, but they could be faculty for all I know. The surrounding area is saturated with exotics…

E36 M3s don't impress anybody anymore. I DD an E39 wagon, but when people ask why I drive a wagon, and I say, "it's ok, my other car is an M3" and I show them a picture, they're just like "oh". It's a '96 estoril coupe in stunning condition. Not that I care what anybody thinks, though — I love the shit out of my car :)

I lived in Columbus for 8 years, and I hated Tuscaloosa with a passion. I knew a lot of rich kids in Starkville that still drove pretty modest cars. Maybe it was the shit roads that discouraged expensive cars, or the middle-of-the-road athletics, but it was a lot easier to get along with people of all classes over…

I'm not in the motorcycle group so I'll take your word for it. Although I do have a friend accidentally put diesel in his RSX-S once, and I'm not even sure how he did it. The size of the nozzle shouldn't even fit the filler neck. ...and he's an engineer. Lol

Can't be real. That whole 156-page thread was generated over some lulz. I am sure of it.

Please link me to the NOS energy Suzuki. For the love of god please.

"Plenty of people" doesn't equate to their core market. Using sales figures for car manufacturers that cater to the do-it-for-me upper class isn't a very good argument for why automatics are superior.

^^this. Dumping the clutch on an 88hp motor (torque #?) is not even guaranteed to break traction.

$5900 is turbo-diesel, power window territory. Love these cars, and not by any means worthless, but just not worth almost 6 grand.

I don't buy that. Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Maserati still offer manuals, but the majority of their customers are people who don't want to shift their own gears. These are the same people that generally don't cook or clean for themselves, either.

I get where this pic was headed...

".... Low-maintenance=/=fun. Even a Jalop should know that. If you can't fix your shit....."

I've had cars with a lot of engines on this list — the 4.6 2V (T-bird), KA24DE (240sx), VQ35 (350z), 2.3 8-plug ('93 Mustang), 6G72 NA (Eclipse GT).

Far from unreliable, at least.

I wholeheartedly disagree — the performance value of Mr. Fusion was literally unmatched.

I don't think it was long before people started swapping in the 13B from the FD chassis...lol.

Low-maintenance high-performance > tech-heavy high-performance...any day.

Don't confuse drag racing with bracket racing, which is a race of consistency over speed. Purpose-built drag cars use transmissions with individually-controlled clutches.
