Reminds me I used to follow one of these in to work every day, as recently as a couple of years ago. I wonder what happened to that one? It seemed to be doing quite nicely...

#4. was at one time a down-east Maine joke told by "Bert and I." I bet farms are smaller in Maine than Israel!

'37 Chevy coupe.

We need a rebooted Spyder!

Would a '36 Cord roadster qualify as a sports car? The front drive axle was well ahead of the engine in that case, to make balanced weight distribution possible, and that would seem to me to be the defining characteristic of a sports car: producing neutral steering under neutral power. Of course such a car would still…

I can live without the diesel or the all-wheel, or the hybrid, but I gotta have that drop top!

Maybe it's an XK for those who don't think V8s are compatible with nimble handling and light weight? Oh, wait, there is a V8 option. Ok, confusing...

Ha, I drove the 4wd version from 1985 to 1992 as my "family cruiser", until more kids made it impractical. As I recall it got weird toward the end and refused to start at random times. Might have been fuel line air lock or some such, but it got traded for an Eagle Tsi, which was ever so much better as a cruiser.

Camaroesque. Yuck...

Otherwise known as continuously variable transmission (?), which implies some sort of belt drive and ability to go neutral at a stop?

I doubt very much that actual ignition was responsible for the late brightening of the rings. Maybe the smoke rings just found their way into a sunbeam? Also, I suspect that all engine exhausts produce smoke rings all the time, or at least when under high throttle. Every cylinder squirts out a blast of exhaust that…

Tailgating is the biggest issue in the DC area. It's a way of coping with congestion, and one cannot allow a decent separation from the next vehicle without someone coming in and filling it. Reluctance to use directional signals may be second. And then there are the folks who stop dead upon entering an acceleration…

Could it have been the use of cellphones that brought down Flight 93 on 2001/9/11? I don't think so. Rather it was the use of them, against the rules, that allowed passengers to defend the rest of us from yet another attack. This is another great example of our ability to be fooled by statistics and distracted by…

I don't understand all the disrespect for convertibles. Recall that all the great original race cars were topless. Tops are for poseurs who can't keep it together in a bundle of parts flying in loose formation...;=)

Both are behaving like douchebags. What is so difficult about a zipper merge? Just defer to one other stranger, for cripes sakes, and think of it is an act of random kindness. Now when it comes to tailgating, I wish I could unleash Niagra Falls on the offenders, but a car that flashes its center brake light…
