Got a nice ring to it, kinda like those trademarked transmissions i e. “Torqueflite”. “Now available with the smooth power of the Astro-Glide automatic Transmission”

First time at Summit Point - what a fun track. We ran Shenandoah, the one with the Karoussel, a great time.

all the reasons you stopped using Craigslist

Opinion buddies! I’ve gone full-circle with the 360, pun possibly intended. I pored over the magazine pictures when it first came out. After a few years I started thinking it was a bit generic, with those C6 Corvette headlights and haphazard vent placement. When the gorgeous, timeless 458 came out I didn’t even want…

Mini’s are growing, and I wish they didn’t. However, they are still “mini” relative to the rest of the market. The Mini Cooper is about 8"(!) shorter than a Fiesta. The Countryman, the biggest car/crossover in Mini’s lineup, is only 2" longer than a Golf, and a hair shorter than a Honda HRV. To find something shorter…

If only life worked that way...

We’ll think they’re gorgeous works of industrial art, but impossible in the safety-obsessed world of 2070, when all exteriors have to be made of rounded foam padding?

With ya there. At this point it’s clear from that factory spy shot that the m4 will get the rat grille, but I'm hoping the m3 sedan will be more reserved.

This is part of the reason I’m excited about the next gen M3, which will supposedly have a “Pure” trim with a manual and a little less HP than the upper trims with paddles. It’s a win on all fronts for an enthusiast: It’ll be more affordable, it still won’t be lacking for power, the under-stressed engine will be more…

Sure, it’s got some taillights, but I’ll be holding out for the VW/PSA Three-Decker Taillight Adventurer.

All I want to know is, is it Estoril Blue? It doesn’t seem like it, but it could be the lighting.

Well, the Fiata got the formula right in theory: Italian styling, Japanese reliability. In practice though, the Italian styling part didn’t really come through. 

Wasn’t it partly because of China? Wasn’t Von Hooydonk saying people in “developing markets” are looking for “high impact” branding?

It’s ok, we just have to hold out a little bit for Mansory to make a more restrained, tasteful bodykit for it.

Come on, Toyota. GR or TRD. Just pick one and stick with it!

I probably would have been too wrapped up in the “movie” to have noticed the wrong track. But let’s take the barriers as an example. Let’s say a complete layman goes to see the movie. They won’t know what kind of barriers are period-correct. But if the barriers were shown as they really were, the layman might notice…

I don’t care how much it costs. I don’t care what powers it. I only want to know - what is this gorgeous shade of blue?
