Automatic CP for calling aftermarket jackknife doorhinges "Lambo doors," as if the fact that they very superficially resemble the doors on the Countach is the only salient fact about them. Also, $9500? I would pay 1/10th of that, if you threw in the old door hinges.

Yeah. Michael Bay ruined editing forever. There's one shot in Armageddon that's more than 5 seconds long. One. And did you see the latest Top Gear, where Jeremy shot a nice long following shot with a Russian arm that cost him an arm and a leg to rent, and the editor used about 1/4 second of it in the rushes they…

Yeah, probably. But I'm technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. Piobaí uillinn, Scottish great pipes, Galician gaitas, all just subtypes of bagpipe. Now I'm going to go look it up and then spend two hours clicking through random links on Wikipedia until I've somehow unsuspectingly learned the names…

Here's my question. Why don't car chases in movies get shot with POV shots like this? It's clearly the most involving and dramatic shot you can use. Especially from the chase car. But you never ever see this in car chase cinematography. Instead you see nauseating jump-cuts, shots of the driver's face, and…

Uilleann pipes are a type of bagpipe.

11 years on the '94 Saturn SC1. Not much of a story. It was fine, then it started to show its age, and I was moving, so I let it go in a work trade.

A friend of mine had one of these as a family car when he was a kid. This same Euro-spec non-turbo. It was just too underpowered. When they took it to a ski resort once they had to have it towed up a somewhat icy hill to get on the highway home, because it just couldn't make it on its own.

One of the main reasons HANS is mandatory in NASCAR is Dale Earnhardt's death. It could have saved him, but he opposed the device in principle. In fact he said, "drivers that wear the HANS device should tie turpentine-soaked rags around their ankles to keep the ants from crawling up and biting their candy asses."

I raced a Celica GT-S once, with the 2ZZ, and it has to be the most annoying engine I've ever driven. It's so peaky that the 1-2 shift drops you out of VVT. I was shifting so much I felt like I was rowing around the track. It was just really a fun-killer. I heard this engine is amazing in the Elise, though, so…

I once worked on the top end of a 22R that had 1.86 million miles on it. I've looked for the thing on some websites dedicated to driving too many miles, but I can't find it anywhere.

I second this one. The Grosser could never be anything but German.

Yeah, what the hell? Only 7000 rpm? The best noise is yet to come.

I noticed that too, and I also decided I must be wrong about it, because Ferrari.

From the "ideas so bad theyre good" file.

'89 240SX. In about 1996; I was I think 18. The drift kids thing hadn't started yet. Japanese cars were just starting to be seen in New Jersey. I actually raced this car a couple of times for a local racing team, and when I blew up the engine, the team sold me the car for $1. New engine, loads of suspension; all…

Every time I went into Manhattan on a Sunday, I took the train. I did once have to spend a weekend driving a fortune cookie delivery van in Manhattan, though, as a favor to someone. That was a real nightmare. I don't do that guy favors anymore.

I once had a brake pedal break off during hard braking for a hairpin. Biggest pucker moment ever in my recollection.

Anything with bench seats.

How about "Korean cars are guaranteed to burn oil within 30,000 miles." 15 years ago, you could put that in the bank.

At this price, I want to vote NP on this, really I do. But I may be getting too old to buy a 5200 pound paperweight.
