@LandofMinos. Wonders why F1 has a garden gnome walking around shaking hands before each race: It was the same way with PT cruisers.

I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it as a "drivers car." Mazda hadn't even taught them how to make a good suspension yet :)

@RentalCarGuy still believes schöne Kombis heißen Avant: So, you're basically saying that you want a good blog about German cars, not a good German blog about cars? Or a German blog about German cars?

@ranwhenparked: Is that Paul Prudhomme or Dom DeLouise?

@alexander_the_car_salamander: Maybe they'll start making 996s again for you ;)

@Roberto G.: "Cabrone?" :)

@danio3834: I noticed a strange trend. The potheads usually work better, and are more punctual than even the drunks! Plus, they will usually sell you pot.

WTF. They drive an automatic. They shouldn't be allowed to reproduce ;)

Another reason that insurance, whether it be auto or health, will always fuck you in the end, as long as it is a private, for profit industry. Yes, I'm a commie.

@Electro Gyrocator: If the bike was going 60, and slowed down to go around the van, fine.

@K2THEM: Telekinematics?

@danio3834: The weird part is, no one partied on the job when I was a ski instructor. Those folks really know how to party, but are somehow more responsible about it from my experience.

@GtAkReYz: I was kidding ;) I was just thinking of another possible angle for Porsche to introduce another option for green cred. That, and how funny would it be to see a 911 with a "BIODIESEL" sticker on the bumper?

I saw a show condition Europa the other day on the way to work. That's the Lotus I want.

@sebastian_musclewhale: Rad.

@Ben Wojdyla: The flames coming out the back tell you it is the wastegates. The turbos are at full spool, then slow for a second after he starts. The wastegates are open as long as the exhaust gas charge is in excess of what is needed to maintain maximum boost. Open wastegate dumps are popular on alot of street…

Nice quad flame show from the tailpipes AND the wastegate dumps!

Where's my goddamned diesel 997 already? I've always wanted a nazi slot car that smelled like French fries.

@Nedry: Don't worry, I'm not dissapointed with the engineers, but the bean counters and "softening agents" that insist on watering down a performance vehicle.
