I know. You're not wrong. There's still a large subset of truck buyers, fans and zealots, who with mouth agape as they breather, proclaim that, "A truck ain't a truck unless it's got one uh dem vee 8s in it!!11!1!!!!eleventybillion!!"

This winter officially sucked, and everyone ended up getting dumped with more snow than should be physically possible. But somehow that didn't manage to stop the inevitable churning onslaught that is the American economy, as pretty much every automaker saw sales increases in February.

Negative. That is the oval pistoned NR750. A 750 V4 with eight valves per cylinder. The bike now are of unicorn tears and rainbows. They exist but are ludicrously expensive and usually only in collections.

And Oregon, or any western state not California in the 90s.

Seattle? Yes. Absolutely yes. As a native Oregonian who has spent a fair amount of time in Washington, both Oregon and Washington drivers feel it their divine province to police and control the speed limit at all time. While that makes them a safe driver, it does not make them good.

Speaking of Camrys and handling packages; will this mean that the SS is, "Grounded to the ground?"

Heh, I have the same car cover for my e46.

Audi sold an A3 5-door here in the states for years, and it didn't really make any waves. Then comes Mercedes with their hugely successful CLA and all the sudden we have an American-friendly, decidedly non-hatchback A3.

Time to find a new dealer.

I have yet to see even one ad for it; anywhere in any medium. That probably has a great deal to with it. Unless you're a car dork like us Jalops - you probably don't know about it.

I came here to basically say this; you beat me to it.

There is so much engine nerdery and trivia in the comments - I love it. In other news, my afternoon is now shot. Well done, Jalops.

As an ardent Land Cruiser fan, I must admit that is a damn fine Jeep you have there, sir.

Yah, Portland is terrible. No one should move there...

Nine out of the ten bridges listed are in the eastern portion of the US? #westcoastisthebestcoast

Here, FIFY: If I've said it once, I'll say it again.... Packer/Steeler/any other team in the NFL fans are the most insufferable bastards in the sports world. You just can't stop patting yourselves on the back.

Still on the EcoBoost hate train. Cool. (Disclaimer: I own a '12 FX4 F-150).

I came here to say eff NASCAR and trot all the tired (and very accurate) cliches, but they've already been covered. The day when NASCAR whither, dies, and is replaced or super-seceded by some real racing, will be a glorious day.

If I could star you eleventybillion times over; I would. MotoGP races in the rain, FFS!

You're not crazy. It is the same truck, just gussied up.
