The Top Gear guys were wrong.

Oh I got this. 18 year old me, just about to start college. My first car is a bright red 1993 Nissan 240SX convertible. Driving home after a late night bowling with some friends, when some drunk in a Oldsmobile Alero crosses the center line and hits me head-on. I was going the speed limit at 45mph, him maybe around…

I hate to break it to you, but that’s not a 240sx. It’s what I would call the opposite of a 240sx.

Without a cone filter, all of those might have made it into the intake.

The Corvette doesn’t need to be at a Cars and Coffee event to take down an innocent bystander. And it’s strapped down!! Now that’s a car.

I change mine to kph because I like changing speed in smaller increments with cruise control

It’s one key feature, for this story, was a button that would change the digital display from MPH to KPH. So when nobody was looking I set the display to KPH and jam on the gas.

“Hey honey, gotta work on the car today. This should only take me an hour or so, and I’ve got everything I need already.”

Manufacturers like Terrafugia prefer the term “roadable aircraft,” maybe because even they know they’re not making flying cars.

Man, that’s so awesome.

Cosigned. I’ve never heard the Horshoe crab thing, but man is it accurate.

Never seen the horse-shoe crab comparison but yeah...nail on the head.

Nice price, for certain and damn straight.

They told me that if I followed the rules, kept my eyes on the road, and used my blinkers then other drivers would do the same and we’d all be safe. Ha.

Not sure why Homer would be bleaching his own eyes. To him, that interior is basically normal flesh tone.

The worst colour is whatever this kid is about to paint the inside of his mom’s car with.

I was driving a Datsun 520 pickup when I was rear ended at a stop light. My rear bumper came to rest inches from the windshield with my rear tires hanging in mid air. I had to hold my brakes on while the poor fellow backed out from under me. It really hurt me to see one of those rare beauties marred even back in the…
