Someone was killed where I grew up by this garbage. Teenagers through a cinder block off a bridge onto the interstate and it killed a wife and mother in the passenger seat of a car, in front of her husband and child. The only reason they were caught at all was one of them broke down and turned himself in out of guilt

My dad hated cars, and hated that I liked them. My best car memory with dad is driving

“Hey, guys, just wanted to let you know that the bridge is out ahe- okay, damn, bye."

I know this is super old, but I have a similar story. I broke my foot (and shredded some tendons and ligaments) in college and had to be driven around by my then-girlfriend-now-wife (she’s an absolute saint). I was given a pass that hung in the car that gave us permission to park in faculty spots, and for my wife to

I actually still prefer the look of the toyobaru twins to the F-Type. They look that much more compact, whereas the Jags seem big in person. Still gorgeous, though.

Just a thought, but these cars are not much faster that the Toyobaru twins, yet everyone is still bemoaning their lack of power, and are praising the Mustang Ecoboost’s acceleration. What gives? Bandwagon syndrome?
Also, these things have to go on a diet, seriously.

It's got 4wd, so its practical too!

I stopped reading at “...from a Renault 5 Turbo.”

Because I really, really want a Renault 5 Turbo 2.

I have never wished harder that I was in the UK, and/or was a person of means.

That's the one.

Where I live, it’s a pretty laid back area, not much going on. When the Tourists get here, though, all hell breaks loose. I watched a fire truck go screaming by where I work six times yesterday, and that doesn’t include the ambulances and cop cars. Tourists, man.

Those lights on the nose are pretty great. I love these BRZ/FRZ/86/GT86 Rally cars. They’re so perfectly pre-Quattro era rally, and I can’t get enough. Have you seen the Cusco car?

I have been looking for just the right set-up. I have been building an autoX car, but I'm not as sure now.

Gah, love that car. Rally lights on the nose would just set me off.

I want all that gear, all of it, on my Burz.

I want a rally Burz.

I have a similar, if polar, problem. All the cars I love, including my DD, are small, while I am tall and broad. Sometimes I imagine myself as hermit crab stuffed stubbornly into a too-small shell and cry a little.

Well, boy-howdy, someone is finally standing up for rapists. I mean, come one, it’s just one, tiny offense.
Like really tiny.
Incredibly small.
Minute, you might say.
In fact, for such a miniscule impropriety to be overblown into such a huge issue seems entirely improper. I mean, it’s not like there was a victim, just

I can absolutely see why the Fusion driver was so mad. The motorcyclist (see “sac of unwanted effluent sliming up my roadway”) did the unthinkable:
TOOK
HIS
SPOT
The Fusion driver should have made a better effort to run him over, because THIS maniac right here is absolutely out of control.

For those not versed in the

To demonstrate that VW was already accounted for.

My wife and I went to test drive and Alfa 4C and they wouldn’t even let us SIT IN THE CAR without a credit check. They wouldn’t even let me touch the car. They had a barrier around it (the velvet rope kind). I have been around the car business my whole life and my father-in-law runs several dealerships, so it seemed
