Taking it one step further, who’s to say they even existed? Maybe they were more of an idea than an option.

Thanks for the coverage suggestions! Now, a question. I’ve never been to a ‘desert race’ but the bug video makes the road look pretty tame. Obviously, the level of preparation for most competitors’ vehicles (including Caswell’s former- rally-spec E30) is far more extreme than most stage rally cars in the US, but…

You do realize that many rednecks proudly self-identify as such, right? In case you missed 2003, Jeff Foxworthy made a name for himself off of a comedy routine called, “You might be a redneck if...” as a part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour also featuring Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White. “Redneck” is acceptible when…

Gosh yes, white men have it so hard in life and should not be allowed to be “racist” toward each other! WAIT, WHAT? This makes no sense.

Good point about test drives. I never thought about that! Yes, most people walk in and pick something off the lot.

I disagree.

Stop trolling. Those vehicles are not even remotely comparable.

Do they not do this for economy cars, or are people just unwilling to wait a couple months for a Spark/Fiesta/Mirage with the right options ticked?

Ok, point taken. Maybe it’s just that nobody is willing to wait for delivery. Maybe it’s different with economy cars, though? If I were going to buy a commuter car I’d probably mark off the list like:

Go knock on their door, lol!

I haven’t bought a new car either, but I’m under the impression that custom orders do not happen anymore unless you drop over $100k. The dealers just trade for cars already produced, and the customer gets the short end of the stick.

When are you guys going to get Roadkill or Top Gear The Grand Tour to participate in and/or film these Caswell adventures? They’d be top notch internet TV.

And... DeAgostini is releasing the 1/43 next year? :D

However, Obama didn’t threaten to end religious freedom as well as to start nuclear war for the hell of it. I think it’s fair to say that most Americans have no problem with the parties working together for the greater good if they are both being reasonable. Many people today do not feel that certain parties are being…

But if they don’t have the four spokes, why even bother?

They get worse mileage in EPA testing. But if you drive them well, they will get better mileage. Seriously.

He’s probably pissed off because he sits in traffic for a couple hours every day.

Ah, I didn’t realize they just stopped production. RIP.
