This being an enthusiast site, I am tempted to bring up the beige, but, the more I think about it, beige isn't really a bad thing for a new driver. Sure, you would think a first time driver needs to have a car that communicates well and responds promptly and deftly to driver input, but that isn't necessarily best for

The obvious lesson here - Jeep driving women should date VW driving men. Problem solved. Either that or women should just look for guys who drive Mazdas. Better yet, they should just look for the ones who drive rotary powered Mazdas. Those guys are the best.

2nd Gear: The side profile may give you the best understanding of the car's proportions, but front 3/4ths and rear 3/4ths would give you the best overall understanding of all the design elements of the car. That being said, when I take pictures of a car that I intend to share with others, I try to cover all the

Ahhhh... That glorious noise is why I have a hard time supporting engine swaps in RX's that involve replacing rotors with pistons. The only swap that makes sense for an RX is a swap that adds rotors.

The 42 Liter Packard Bentley. It is loud, fiery, terribly inefficient, and it doesn't give a fuck what anyone has to say about that. Also 1500 HP and 2000 torques.

As a nice second option (since I haven't seen it yet), I nominate the Cherokee SRT8. Not as quick around the track as the CTS-V Wagon, but this one has a few advantages the V wagon does not.

It would also save a lot of money to build a track known for elevation changes and a beautiful location in a place that has those things already, but since when was money a concern?

Yes, but a 2.2 mile track with 11 corners in the California desert doesn't really compare to a 16 mile course with 170 corners that winds through some of the most picturesque scenery you will find on a racing circuit.

Instead of building a replica of something in Germany, why not take that money and build a similarly epic course that is uniquely American? I'm all for paying tribute and I wouldn't be opposed to see some elements of the 'ring in a new track, but I would much rather see something original.

Number 2:

I'll go ahead and throw in two of my favorites.

Agreed. I schedule as many trip up to MIssouri as possible. Mostly to go catch up with old friends, but I get absolutely giddy about driving through Arkansas. I try to find a new path to take every time, but you can't really go wrong. US 71 all the way up the western border, AR 7 through the Ouachita and Ozark

I'm skeptical of elevation changes in Louisiana (I joke because I live there). I'll have to check this one out the next time I'm down towards Natchitoches. Is LA-6 the road that follows the Cane River? If not, that is a pretty nice drive as well.

I knew I recognized the highway number. I went camping up at Haw Creek Falls (just off of 123) last year. 123 is an awesome road and I enjoyed every minute of it. They were in the middle of repaving it when I was up there so there was loose gravel everywhere. Great fun.

For your consideration..

nibbles got the first image... Let's try this one

I would like to nominate the International MXT. This one is all about being the biggest on the block and flexing your muscle for all the world to see. It's big, it's brash, and, when provoked, it is capable of amazing things. The problem is, most of these aren't provoked very often. Much like our nuclear arsenal -

But America isn't entirely American either, now is it?

I give you the Ford GT40. Not only did this car take the best of what the colonies had to offer and combine it with a bit of British swagger (much like our own country), but its reason for existing is quite American as well. The message sent with this car was clear - if you won't join us, we're just gonna kick yer ass.
