... and isn't that what all of us are really looking for? A car with vanilla looks, a bit of torque, decent handling, PLUS early and frequent repair/service bills up the kazoo? Man, am I drooling. Condolences, mate.

My only real experience with serious road racing was against an X11 on a local interstate, with my 86 CRX-Si. The Citation had government plates and seemed to be hot to trot to have a go, so I obliged him. It was very late at night, I was heading to Connecticut, the interstate was empty, and I really wanted to see…

10.) Mazda 6 ... may have something to do with some of their sloppily staffed dealers. I went to one locally several years ago and they didn't seem interested in showing me a Mazda 6, which I was there to check out. The sales drone kept attempting to lead me over to the Saab section of their new car lot. Nothing…

I do usually name them, but in NSFW language.

Catchy title, 'Paul Simon' Lehto. Good that you posted this warning that some may consider to be unnecessary, but I'm not one of them. I got my warning a few years ago when a friend of mine got pulled over and blew a .28 on the booze sniffer. He lost his license for 6 months and had to attend a drivers safety seminar.…

Alcoholic beverages were observed in the area, and were being consumed only by responsible adults with unparalleled driving skills.

Both pilot and passenger looked to be having a severe bout of 'happy hands' during that special moment. I probably would have had my hands over my ears. I hate those loud noises generated by all that screaming before crashing.

Wow! Wang? I haven't heard that word used since I was in my teens. Thanks for the revival, BJ ... brings back some fun but awkward memories.

Reminds me a bit of a Honda Insight that attempted to squeeze into a 3' gap between two trucks driving side by side.

The only time I'm faster than other drivers is when the next rest area is 5 minutes away, and I'm dealing with a 4 minute bladder.

It's time for all channels to eliminate their current programming that's meant to entertain the lowest common denominator, and to return to the type of content that made them relevant in the first place. All of this 'conjured reality' crap ( Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, etc ..) with fake scenarios and scripted accounts…

I wonder if it ever will. I still watch F1 racing because I'm masochistic. Sure, it's boring, but there's also a subtle pain in that kind of boredom, so I suppose that small ache is enough to satisfy my need to feel something during the races.

I can only imagine the fines and jail time I would have received if I'd gotten caught doing hot laps at a local cemetery. I used to do it years ago when I had my TR4A. No spectators were injured during the event.

That's not 'sweet, sweet, love' .... that's rutting. And civilized society takes another step backwards.

Man, that was brutal! I guess that China, in their quest to save costs, still attaches tires with Velcro rather than expensive lug nuts.

Your English is passable, mate. I've driven on snow tires in the past when I had large old cars with skinny tires and needed a bit of help getting up the Main Street hill after a particularly large snowfall. My only point was (and re-reading my post will confirm this) that I haven't had the need for aggressive snow…

Depends upon the kind of driving you do, mate. I've only had all-seasons on my vehicle since the day I bought it 13 years ago. I don't commute large distances to work, the road crews in my city are meticulous about keeping the streets clear, and getting out of my snowed in driveway hasn't yet caused me any stress with…

Nice ... we've now reached the point where free speech has been precluded by political correctness. We may disagree with this gentleman's point of view, but not to worry. There are plenty of us here who will actively counter his opinion with some heated vitriol. I've flown frequently in the past, and on at least 4…

On ice, all cars/trucks are created equal .... 'None shall stop'

Great idea ... a dash tablet ... I was beginning to worry that drivers were running out of things to distract them from driving their car.
