Well getting parts while they were still a company wasn't an issue... as my 5 door unfortunately found out, getting parts after the fact was impossible... almost an entire month to find a new bumper after being rear ended for the 3rd and final time... 

Speaking of Opel imports, I have a car for next week. No one remembers (late) Saturn, and unfortunately, a great little car called the Astra. It was a rebadge and import of the Opel/ Vauxhall Astra (from Belgium) and it only lasted 2 years. It was offered as a 3 or 5 door hatch in either xe (base) or xr trim.

Right next to the F1 circuit is a great go-kart track/ club. They (used to) have Yamaha go karts to rent, not sure what they are running now.

Well having a parent who happens to work for a major us auto company definitely shaped my automotive interest growing up... besides my 1000 strong collection of matchbox and hot wheels, every new car my dad got was throughly tested (played in) and if I was lucky, driven (on my dads lap, briefly up the driveway)

I think this is the first time I’ve read two independent reviews of a car and not heard any complaints about “gm interiors”. Good to see the media finally came to its senses.

I’m kind of “meh” on the car list. I’m glad the British get quite a few entries but as a gm guy, I feel left out. Sure Chevy has a strong list, but where’s my trucks? They removed the Escalade (not really a bad thing) and dropped the typhoon/ cyclone (will be missed) leaving us with a van and the h1. Why is there no…

My very first accident on public roads was an unfortunate one. I had my lerner’s permit (not even a license) and was driving what would be my car to target with my mom. About 10 minutes after leaving our house, I realized that some a$$ in a first gen (us) focus sedan was following a little close for comfort. I mention…

If your a sucker for games that will include the cars you want after the 5th dlc (and another $60) then it will be released on both PC (through the Microsoft store) and xbox.

excuse my language here but Fu** this $h1t. Why does every game developer seem to the raptor is the only “off road” truck in existence. I’m tired of seeing the ZR2 (and the new TrailBoss) left until the 3rd DLC. I guess I’ll be saving myself $60.

Can I also point out a “moddest” v6 is also going to use a lot less fuel as it’s never going to fire on 2 extra cylinders.

Ford aluminum must be manufactured by the same Chinese plant as apple aluminum. 

So I have a few...

I will say, being a car guy but on a college budget, 1:10 rc is the perfect way to get my fix. I can mod, break, bash and enjoy both my traxxas slash and trx4 (the latter being a kit experience) without worrying about lease agreements or becoming stranded in the middle of nowhere Michigan. 

I think the new facias look really good on the Chevy and better on the gmc. It definitely beats the realitivly low bar Lexus/Toyota have set...

Is it just me or does Lexus (lack of) styling still look terrible? Especially the front facia. 

I'm very much a gm guy. But this is probably the only Ford product I’d “want”.

Just an fyi, the plural form of Lego is just lego. Adding an s to the end of it breaks its translation into English

It’s more than likely going to be Camaro based. But I think that’s a good thing, it will probably look nicer than any Lexus and you can blow the doors off the m series coup. 

As much as I like the 3.5mm jack, I survived hs with a case of cds on my drive to school. So I personally don't think you need to have a aux jack. FM is great if you can deal with local radio and xm (available on most new cars) can be had for a good deal if you renew at the right time. I don't even use the aux input…

I liked the naming scheme on my first car... Saturn Astra XR. Make, Model and Trim is all you need. Not some random letter with meaningless numbers after (although cts-v does sound cool for those who know what it can do)
