No matter which way you look at it, the R8, despite being a cool car, is nearing 10 years old, making it one of the oldest supercars currently on the market. You can keep putting new faces on it and updating the engine, but it’s still the R8. The Gallardo has been replaced already, for crying out loud. Fresh R8…

Having twice been divorced myself, keep the Mini. At least for a while. Your life is currently upside down, don’t risk getting a car loan that could make your finances upside down too. That is, unless the Mini is already upside down, in which case, ditch it and forget the $20-$25k budget. Go used, go cheap, save your…

Nailed it.

All of your criteria are wrong. You’re a recent divorcee, aren’t you automatically issued a motorbike?

Not for Mazda and its former PR rep extraordinaire, Bev:

Even if that would work and pass regulations, it’s simply idiotic.

Wow, they put the F1 engine in a Civic!

You certainly could have a great debate regarding the pros and cons of tax incentives to buy an EV car, but to make EV car buyer pay a tax for gas they aren’t using? That’s a bunch of BS.

It sounds like it has a squeaky belt from the front and it idles like a diesel from the back. It sounds broken.

Spoiler alert for those who can’t watch video at work.

I worked at Scottsdale Ferrari when the F50 came out. Ferrari stipulated that they could only be sold to people who currently owned a Ferrari.

How did cracking a walnut become such a standard way to measure strength?
