My base Golf has been a very fun car, but I'm getting a little nervous as I approach the 80,000 km warranty. Not that it's been unreliable, but having the AC compressor replaced already means I don't really know what could go wrong in the next few months. I'd say VW should offer a super long warranty. Yes, it will…

Ah, touche.

The ad agency must have smoked a lot of something to think that a vehicle designed to orbit the Earth has that much in common with a soccer-mobile.

I like the way you think.

I don't know about that. The Jalop ethos is sticking the craziest engine/motor into a vehicle as possible and making full use of it. I approve.

Bugatti makes a big deal about the special tires developed by Michelin for the Veyrons, so what wheel+tire combo do these speed monsters use? You can't just roll into a local tire shop and ask for 255mph+ rated rims and tires.

I think the S has a single motor along the rear axle. Even if there was a motor at each wheel, how would that explain the wheels exiting the vehicle?

With the glowing reviews that the Model S has generated, do you think Tesla will ever ship one overseas for a segment?

Musk isn't wrong on some of those accounts. While Clarkson is a top-tier auto critic, no one will disagree that Top Gear is mostly for fun and not the word of God when it comes to car reviews. He hasn't really ever shown much love for American cars, either, but his Anti-Americanism (like his anti-everything) is…

Gentlemen, I have the doomsday device.

I think driver training should consist of flipping the lights and hitting those local dirt roads, Superbad style.

N: I started driving as soon as I was legally able to (in Ontario it's 16, so 2004). My family generally had two cars so it was easy to share, and besides the occasional tank of gas, I was fortunate that my parents covered insurance. It wasn't until 2010 when I started a full time job after university that I began…

This looks like a sweet ride.

Do new VWs still have the reputation for bad electronics?

I kind of like her thinking. Maybe one day cities will close their cycling paths to bikers and open them up for a Mini rally!

By hulls you mean fuel hoses, right? Ethanol is a big problem in marine applications, mostly because boats spend more time sitting and the water vapour in the tank can separate and gum up the fuel system.

Wow, that is quite a recipe.

I'm holding out for the GTD!

Is there a particular reason these kind of niche manufacturers (Caterham and Ariel, mostly) only make their vehicles available in the UK? I'm assuming Caterham has enough of a dealer network in North America that distribution would be possible, so it must be down to regulations.

N: It would only ever be an F150 for me, although the two people I know that just bought trucks, just bought new Ram Rams. Someday I will own a used pickup, and it will exist only to serve as a snowy hoonmobile, tow my future boat and move heavy things. None of this grocery run crap.
