"I have made a vehicle which floats on air, but if you see something you will hit it"

I would give what little is left of my youth to drive a blower Bentley, never mind the old Bugattis etc.

If you think coast to coast to coast things begin to look a little bleaker. You can drive a long ways north before you hit our border. Not to mention if you drive the wilds of the north long enough (not the highways that hug the border or the Prairie highways where you can see a small animal from kilometres away but…

There is, but homophones have found their way into my articles and past proofreaders because everyone's reading and writing quickly. It's not a great way to publish a paper, I admit, but it's not because we don't no (see what I did there?) the difference.

The year was 2010 and I was surfing the internet, going through car blogs blissfully unaware anything was wrong with the world, but, unbeknownst to me, Mazda had stabbed me in the back with a piston handled knife. They declared the RX-8's death, not world-ending in it's own right, but coupled with no new…

Hands type faster than writers can think, and the internets move faster still. No time for a good proofread, never mind how horrible it is trying to proof on screen.

I like that the Beetle existed. My mom's got a TDI and she loves it to death, puts seasonal decorations in the vase and everything. It's a pop song of a car in a world of beige cars. Apart from a couple things, the ridiculously low oil pan saying hi to the ground and a ticking in the steering column it's been trouble…

A running gag

It's starting to get the hunchback of notre dame look the 911 has been sporting for the last decade, which is really unfortunate. The new haunches and the vent to crease, though, all look really good.

I honestly don't understand how your response has anything to do with my comment. I didn't write that all progress is bad, or even that the move to auto-clutch/automatic gearboxes are bad. I don't weep that they exist, but I wholeheartedly back the Mustang sticking to a beam axle and the LSx sticking to pushrods. My…

My problem with this, besides the fact that I'm sick of the 'put an SBC in it' mentality is that I can't see the 'grenades' in the engine bay, which means it's probably conventionally sprung. It just seems weird to me to look at a car like the DS and think it needs a V8 and rear-wheel drive. It's a town car that will…

I don't understand this. You act like the forward march of science is somehow logical and we should all follow along in it's wake taking every advancement and finding a place in our lives for it. But, honestly, shifting to a flappy-paddle makes little sense. Easier isn't always better, and neither is faster. It's a…

Define better. A better car, in terms of speed and racing, would have a CVT, a fan to keep it glued to the tarmac, massive downforce, with a cockpit and be too fast for humans to drive, requiring some sort of computer. I don't want that car. I want a car that feels fast even when it's not fast. I want a car that makes…

I saw them on Bring a trailer and fell in love with the crazy little things.

You missed this one: NSU Prinz

Quote: "How does this compare to a Mazda 5?"

So you're arguing that car companies should not give a fuck about what drivers want when they make a driver's car? I would never buy a Golf to begin with, but seeing this convinces me that VAG is not concerned with making cars for drivers, but for people who want a car that will accelerate briskly from a stop light,…

I agree. I liked that the old beetle was cutesy. It was made to appeal to a very specific group of people and it did it unapologetically. Too many cars now have to appeal to everyone because the bean counters know cars marketed to the 16-100 year-old male and female demographic have the best chance of selling in high…

Not trying to be a dick, but tenuous doesn't make sense in that context. Tenuous means weak or slight, as in Wile E. Coyote had a tenuous grip on the cliff's edge.

Love that logo.
