So... is it mandatory that you have to be a "lefty" to be part of a firing squad? or if one person is... then you all are so knowones elbow is in your face? It might just be a French thing...ha, ha, ha.

There’s an advantage to buying a new luxury mark such as you named and a lot of people know it. Lexus, Audi, BMW and Mercedes all make cars that look new and modern even when their 5-10 years old unlike Ford and GM. In my experience Ford and GM vehicles age very poorly as far as styling, and those European…

Car prices are absolutely insane, only second to the insanity that is a new full size pickup/SUV which is where GM and Ford are milking their cash cow for all its worth while gas prices are below $3 a gallon for a few more months. The day I walk into a Ford or Chevy dealership and walk out with a $50K, $60K or even…

Dog's left in cars in hot day's is just stupid...which gets me slightly angry. However, watching someone leave their CHILD in a car seat while at the gas station while they walk into a convenience store to pay for gas or buy an energy drink absolutely makes me want to kneecap someone. People...wake the F* up!

“My biggest issue with this series is that I can’t remember a single negative review of a new car...” Yes! I agree completely. I remember when I first discovered TG, around season 15 timeframe, there was two things that got my attention unlike anything I'd ever seen in an enthusiast show before. First, they thrashed…

Thats you’re call...they don’t call L.A.’s crippling taxes the “Sun Tax” for nothing.

Agreed...Florida has the most oppresive weather I have ever felt which is only matched by the fact that its in the South, so sweating and eating are the two main things to do there. Not impressed by any of it from Maimi to Clearwater.

Agreed, retiring in CA is a very bad idea if you wan’t anything left over after they take all the state, local, special and sales taxes out. They also have additional suplimental taxes in SoCal on your house that can easily drive your property tax over 2% annually (and the roads and schools suck bad despite this…

You nailed it...I spent the last 3 years in L.A. and its an armpit for the most part and very, very overated. Now I call San Diego home and I love it. I’m sure San Diego isn’t without it’s crime problems and gangs etc. but for what it costs to live here, I think most unscrupulous people find it easier to live in any…

Pacific NorthWest is where it’s at. Shhhh....it doesn’t rain as much as people wan’t you to believe (that’s a perpetual myth that serves to keep the population manageable).

I’ve lived in the PDX area for 35+ years of my life, but have left for greater opportunity in SoCal during my prime earning years and part of me is really enjoying the time away from the world class whiners. The biggest problem the Portland Metro area has (no, its not Californians migrating North and buying the…

I’m with you. I don’t care if retirement was 100% free in the South, I couldn’t wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror and convince myself that this was the best I could do. I’m not a fan of the South, been there done that, couldn’t wait to leave.

You nearly lost me after your first staement “When you retire, you’ll want to spend your days living in a city you’ll love.” No...when I retire I want to live where my money is least effected by state and local taxes so I have something to live on after the Fed’s take out their share so I can do more than exist. I…

Finally...Done! Good bye. The show never incorporated anything that I really respected about BBC TG and the biggest one being brutal honesty when evaluating cars. Sometimes people need to be reminded that GM and Ford are putting out crap still today when compared to many Asian and European options for the same price.…

Yes, yes, yes!...”owning an old Rolls Royce basically takes over your entire existence with endless repairs and costs, all for a car that looks like it came from Liberace’s estate sale”. There is something great about owning a classic, but there is nothing ABSOLUTLY NOTHING great about owning a classic that will leave…

Wondering if anyone else noticed the lack of in car camera video during this race? There are several reasons why I enjoy seeing a road coarse mixed into a season of constant left turns, but actually seeing talented drivers shifting and manhandling a 3,400 lb monstor would have been nice since they show it at other…

In the end my on again-off again relationship with my mid 90s Pontiac Formula was more than I could handle. She broke my heart (yet another appearance on a flatbed ride of shame), the will to live of a poor exhaust shop, owner who spent 3 solid days installing headers (and insisted I never tell any of my Pontiac…

The number one biggest piece of crap car that I have ever driven is only second to itself in a convertiable version. I’ve driven a PT Cruiser on several occations and tolerated the truck like seating position, engine noise and difficulty seeing out the front window. However, only once in my life have I had the special…

That was a really well thought out and well written piece, thank you. I especially like this “Why are we running a cheap car? Wouldn’t a modified car be cooler?” Yeah on paper. The rallycross idea was cool but the water splash and jump are a joke and require no skill. It’s there for visuals, but after the 1st pass…

After reading all that is grand about owning a car and existing in NYC, I really have to ask why you feel it’s worth it? It sounds like its more like owning a trophy since you can afford the B.S. that comes with it more than the fact that you have a 2000s era Mercedes. With all of the crap you have to pay for to just…
