If only Nintendo would fix the Mario Kart rankings in a similar fashion. Idiots finding broken course maps have completely ruined that game for me.

"hated by purists"... Perhaps, but Ferrari purists hate all the street legal models, at least those that aren't a front engined V12. I haven't had the pleasure of driving one of these, but what I've heard is that the longer wheelbase allows for a much more comfortable seating position as well as a better handling…

@wkiernan: Exactly! I'd glad use an EV for my daily commuting if the cost was not prohibitive. Once economy of scale kicks in it might happen, but we have a way to go and lots of people need to pay the premiums first to get us there.

As currently prepared, it seems more ricer than racer. Yet, that's still a Nice Price for an S if it isn't hiding any costly faults.

The strange thing isn't really who would build this. Honestly, what other outcome is likely to result from a bored dude with a welder and a bunch of junk cars(trucks). However, I have a feeling anyone who would purchase this would be a truly disturbing individual.

You want crazy? I bought a used Jaguar X-Type a couple years back and thought I was buying a practical AWD Ford, only dressed up all pretty. It leaks oil all over my driveway like it thinks it's a proper brittish car and parts are suspicsiously expensive.

@FormerlyTheGreatestDriver: Canada neutral? They have the queen on their money the last time I checked. No, it must take place in Mexico. I hear they have a race down there in some place called Baja. You want EPIC? Well, I think a US vs UK Baja 1000 could deliver.

I have yet to watch the american version, but I have to admit I'd be going in without a lot of interest. As an American, I think a large part of why I like the original TopGear is because it is brittish. I enjoy the more european flavor, and the very brittish humor. That's what makes the show truly notable and…

@Brian: Cogito Ergo ZOOM!: You get a heart click for having a similar reaction to that ad as I did. I went on a mini rant just last night about the rediculous irony of the the fact that the "uncool" car is actually a realtively hip Roadmaster and painted a horrifying green color as icing on the cake. How can that…

Ah... video game console avatars. I'm of the mind that an avatar should be a digital representation of the person.

I'm sorry, but any way you look at it, this car is worth perhaps a fifth of the asking price. A great P1800 ES isn't worth anywhere near that much, a top notch pro-street car isn't worth anywhere near that much. I don't know what the seller is thinking. His brain may literally be on drugs.

As outraged as I am over this, I still laughed when the guy smelled his hand.

It snows in Dallas? I had no idea...

Yellow as a bird

How is Caterham pronounced? I would think it is Cater-Ham based on spelling, but I was watching an episode of Top Gear and they seemed to be saying Kate-Rum. Inquiring minds want to know.

While "you probably won't get shot" is a decent slogan for a city, I think they should also consider "worse than you think America can get".

I vote Gran Torino. The car has nothing to do with Torino as far as I can tell, but best exemplifies the American tendency to misappropriate foreign names to add class to their cars. Plus, this car has it's own movie, two if you count Starsky and Hutch.

The girl pictured with the CTS-V racer (I guess we'll be calling her #14) either made an unfortunate bra choice, or she's an alien with gills under her boobs.

This video puts the term "nerdgasm" in a whole new context.

I don't think any present Jaguar models are available with a manual transmission. Will a true manual transmission become available on any model in the future?
