I spend a lot more than the average person on my cars, but I've always defended it by stating that my car is my hobby. I'd give up my TV and microwave before owning a car I don't love driving, and I'm not even mad about my higher payments. It doesn't look smart on paper, I get it, but I'm a Jalop to the core. I drive…

Plus +1 to this pad. Not just for gaming, this is one of those things I never knew I needed until I had it. Now I have one in my office as well.

However, leaving evidence of burnouts in your AMG Mercedes will brand your car a "Status 8" by Mercedes rendering it virtually worthless. Keep that in mind before you go hooning your AMG.

That's an interesting point as I've found just the opposite. I've always liked having the GPS mounted higher up on the windshield by the mirror, as it keeps my eyes more focused on the road.

I should add more information here. I used to do routes and advances in private security. After using the upper-end Garmin units I realized I couldn't live without one for accuracy. I use my phone mainly for quick trips around town. Anywhere that required multiple stops and going into territory that was well out of…

Does ANYONE actually use their in-car GPS? I use my phone or a Garmin because they're light years ahead of the crap that comes installed.

The best mod ever made to my old FD was to dump the engine and put in a V8. Screw this car. It was a great attempt on Mazda's part and I commend them for being unconventional, but they are not reliable and need to stay dead. The rotary simply doesn't work outside of a strictly race car and there's no reason to keep…

The WSDOT Twitter account is pretty funny. They always have great commentary.

That's exactly right. I asked several women about this (post dating), and they said this pretty much verbatim. Men who care a lot about their dogs and take great care of them often trigger the idea of great fathers. I'm sure there are other reasons, but that's what I was often told. This is in reference to women in…

This is particularly funny because I had a Corvette (C6 Z06) at the time I was dating on Match and it was a love life killer. A few women knew the difference, but most preferred my daily driver Corolla. I almost never drove it on dates or even really talked about it. I usually had to ease women into how much of a gear…

Sorry to hear that, but also not surprised. Any free service is definitely going to get you a ton of spam or creeper mail. Match also had it's fair share of creepers, but not NEARLY as many as OKCupid. You have to have thick skin for online dating. And yes, men get that kind of mail too, just not as often. Dateswithkat…

If you're over 30, Match tends to have much better results in the Seattle area than OKCupid. OKCupid tends to work really well for the younger crowd. Typically people who use Match are more serious about dating to find a long term relationship or settle down. Myself and plenty of friends have had great luck on both…

Nah, mine recovered amazingly well. Point and shoot, keep the power on. Best handling car I've ever driven on the street next time a Cayman S.

Acura is dying though. Jalopnik even posted an article about it the other day. They desperately need this car so they can bring out something people actually care about. I see this as direct competition for the R8 and 911, but the company losing ground is a real concern with how bland their cars are now. I'm sure it…

If this thing ever sees production. It's becoming the Duke Nukem Forever of cars.

I love them! Racecar.

I have a concern with all of the exposed carbon. On my C6 Z06 the front valance took a beating from normal driving, but luckily it was pretty flexible plastic so it held up OK. My friend's with ZR1s didn't fair so well. Has the front overhang been reduced on the new Z06 or will I be replacing the front valance every…

These articles piss me off so much because we can't get ANY of the cars I really want here. Jalop should make these a blurb: "Here's another car you want and can't have. Here's some links to go with it. Also, our government sucks."

Coming to this party pretty late, but I went directly from an LS7 (Z06) to a C63 AMG. I'll tell you from first had experience, my C63... sucks... compared to my LS7. In every way. It gets horrible mileage in comparison, it's not nearly as smooth, it requires WAY more maintenance (that I can't do), and the car is much…

Wife and I will be doing the Alcan in a 911 Turbo or GT-R in 2016. Hoping for that -40 we keep hearing about. I'll dig this post up when we go.
