@T5Killer: @ShantJ: @DeadBuick: Umm, sarcasm much? It's one of my favorite cars that I've never owned, but been jealous of friends owning. I love AWD, turbos, and wagonness.

@LuciferV8: Mythbusters needs to get on this, now!

Sweet, two more gears I won't even notice because I CAN'T CHANGE THEM MYSELF!

When some douches are still asking that much for a flogged E36 M3, nice price. Personally, I'd go for a UrS4 for half that in the same condition, but I'm cheap. And I like turbos :)

I quite often leave my Talon unlocked with the windows down in my carport overnight. Who's gonna steal a car that has been driven like it's stolen by every owner (myself included?)

Don't fucking tease me like that.

@Jim-Bob wants a B13 SE-R, but will settle for working air conditioning in his 351,000 mile Nissan Frontier.: Very true. My 194 could break the tires loose! That is, the bias plys that were on it, seemingly made of wax, could break loose in the wet going around a corner. I did put in a 327 with ~350-400HP and a…

I didn't think about the full service gas stations, even though I live in Oregon and loathe them. I lived in Washington state for 5 years, and loved not having to wait for some slacker to finish his smoke and waddle up just to brush my paint job with his wallet chain.

@maximum_sarge: Exactly. It is NASCAR. Consider that context. Still think it isn't even a little bit (even if it is 'unintentional' or subconcious) odd?

@bktennis88: Very well said. I first learned about all that after seeing Gregory Hines in "History of the World, pt. I" and asking my parents about all the references to slavery and minstrel shows.

It cost me half that just to turn the rotors on my Talon.

@1AJeremy: Being freshly unemployed in October, I was a ski instructor on Mt. Hood last winter. We don't use salt here, but the de-icer, whatever it is, takes a pretty huge toll on iron. I just replaced the front pads on my Talon Saturday. The rotors had never been turned, and the shop couldn't read the min…

I once tried to start a detailing business. I just couldn't bring myself to charge what was necessary to make it work ($250+). I, however, only spend 12-14 hours and up to 5 cleaning/polishing solutions on a given car. Brush wash followed by mitt wash, two-bucketing it to rinse out grit before going back to the…

That shifter looks suspicioulsy like a Hurst unit for a T5. Good luck making it last behind a 355, even if it is the WC unit. One could only hope it's a Tremec.

I blame it on the V70R

Good. For once, I'm glad we "can't get it here." It would be the best thing for this god-fosaken country to require driving tests to be completed in a manual transmission equipped vehicle.

@Meow-Mix: For some reason, lots of folks think a ton is 1000lbs.

The law that allows chains to be used instead of much more sensible and much less damaging studless snow tires. We've reached a point in tire technology that we don't need chains anymore. Period. They destroy our roads and prevent people from actually learning how to drive in the snow, clogging up highways and…

@JanDuKretijn: Couldn't have said it better myself. We actually already have that law. It just NEVER gets enforced. EVER. FFS. WTF!?!
