There was a study done awhile back that said that $75,000 was about the plateau for happiness related to income in terms of happiness and stress.

Makes a lot of sense to me. A high enough income to feel “comfortable” and provide for yourself and family, and have flexibility to take vacations, buy a new vehicle, etc.…

Honestly my “Won the Lotto” scenario thought process is that I would address the “give my family a handout” phase by doing something similar. At the onset after I got organized I’d probably gather grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and 1st cousins and offer up the following. $200,000 - $300,00 house (most of them are in a…

Don’t forget to have a Maybach waiting on the ground for your arrival to chauffeur you around. And put 3rd world country flags on the front fenders.

Easy, I’m waking up in the morning in a drunken stupor and calling Singer Design. I’m telling them to start building me a Porsche but dial it back one notch from “will definitely try to kill me.”

Next I’m going down to the Audi Dealership to buy an RS7 for my “daily driver.”

Then I’m probably going down to the Chevy…

I hope they give this asshole the maximum sentance and some jail time along with at least a 5 year license suspension.

If I REAAAAALY wanted a Fiero this would probably be it. V8 swap and the added bonus of a unique chop top make it worth it.

That’s what the hookers are for.

This generation never really appealed to me at all in terms of styling. I’d put it 2nd to the bottom of my list for mustangs behind the Mustang II. Just looked to “soft” to me.

This one makes my list along with the Honda Accord Crosstour. If you’re buying a damn CUV or an SUV at least make it one that has good cargo space and presents an actual advantage over a regular sedan spacewise. This thing and the Crosstour are just silly because they present no actual CUV or SUV advantage other…

You’ve got a solid arguement and I don’t disagree with you on principle. I will say that IMO with the Cube the needle tilts a little bit more towards “Quirky” than “Weird” on the other side of the gauge and it’s borderline acceptable to me. I still wouldn’t drive one, but there are worse crimes when it comes to CUVs…

I can do something about my weight, but I can’t lose 3" of height!

By normal “macho” American Truck standards it is pretty lame, but as it’s already been said it probably fits the needs of 80% of the truck owners out there that care more about hauling a half dozen bags of mulch home from Lowes vs. a truck load of 8' 4 x 4s and are towing a jet ski or a pop up camper instead of a 24'…

This makes my list too. While the H1s are ridiculous and don’t need to be daily driven, at least they are legit, capable off roading military vehicles. The H2s by comparison are just a damn Yukon with macho bullshit body cladding for an idiot trying to compensate for his micro-penis.

When they first came out…

I like the wet suit analogy.

I’m 6'1" and 280 lbs. and I describe my test drive of an NA as being similar to “driving inside of a condom”. I wanted to find one with a hardtop to see if I had any hope of fitting inside one with a helmet on (NOPE, unless I bolted a racing seat to the floor) and I felt claustrophobic to…

Mostly agree with this. I have respect for people that ACTUALLY OFF ROAD, but for the most part it seems like a “lifestyle vehicle” (like a Harley) that doesn’t really get used. I drove my Stepdad’s 06 (I think) Wrangler a bit and my overall impression was “fuck this would be terrible as a daily driver” if you…

That reaction doesn’t get medical attention for the people hit, doesn’t encourage the driver to get out of the car and own up to the situation, doesn’t get the cops there to properly deal with the guy, and doesn’t bring the driver to court to deal with the charges.

I get it, I’d be furious too if I watched it happen,…

Yeah after the 3rd gen I took a sharp turn towards VW.

 I wanted to do an EG or a GSR next, but the probability of it being stolen in Chicago was just too high. I thought about building a 4 Door Integra LS and doing an LS-VTEC motor build, but then I looked at insurance. It would have cost me (granted as a 25 yr.…

This is the sobering reality of trying to start a new car company from scratch. As bloated, inefficient, and at times incompetent the Big Three and others look at building cars, there’s a lot to be said for EXPERIENCE.

AWESOME idea! Nailed it on the head with this Torch:
