Did laugh out loud, did wake wife, she is pissed, now have to leave early for work, thanks XKjacob ......but +2 anyways....

Find a cheaper Carbon tub in a production car I dare you.

I’m all for normative values and rational discussion but have accepted the reality of our fanboy passions and Jalopness, which is why I love this forum. We seek to judge rationally but secretly hate ourselves for liking irrational things like 600HP and carbon fiber wheels and a manual transmission!

I’ve bought 2 jaguars, am buying a FiST and have cross shopped some weird cars.

If I was in the market for a brand new sports car, I would absolutely buy a C7 over an Alfa. I would also look at a WRX, Cayman GTS and possibly an M4 during this mythical shop. What reason would I have when spending that much on a toy, to…

Actually sports car buyers are very irrational agents, and modern economic theory has concluded that the market often does not act rationally (bubbles happen regularly due to irrational behavior)

I like everything that this car is about, I just don’t like the way it looks.

Don’t trip, it’s an Alfa. You’ll be able to get one for $25k in three years.

Haven’t driven one, but a lot of the reviews I’ve read (e.g. EVO) suggest that the 4C isn’t as fun or engaging as it should be on anything other than a racetrack. For $30-$40K a well-loved NSX would deliver the same low-slung, light weight, manual steering, pure sports car experience - but with a manual shifter and no…

I have 3 legs, so I can’t test drive a sports cars with only 2 pedals

Today, Thursday July 23rd, 2015, I learned a new expression: “Don’t knock it. You have not driven it.”

It just seems like an awful lot of money for a “pure” sports car. Like it comes from the Viper ACR “Pay us a ton of money to rip the radio out and put in a flat piece of plastic” school of thought. If it’s not a fat bloated prestige machine, then why does it cost so damn much? If I want to go slow(er) and still enjoy…

The 4C is a crappy car, it’s an unfinished car. It shows taht Alfa never learned the lessons from its past failures. It’s a car where peopke fill with excuses the flaws that it shouldn’t have.

I mean, I want it, but I also like paying for food.

The 4C is a salute to everything that made the world fall in love with sports cars in the first place: noise, style, speed, handling, purity of experience. Not heated seats, or a fancy infotainment system, or a satellite radio, or all the other things that from luxury cars that have bled into sports cars.

If you care about fun and you dont care about going fast, the lack of power steering makes sense and I agree with the choice.

I think the money would go muuuuuuch better to buy Jalopnik from Gawker Media, myself.

This is something we’ve always been super cognizant of here in CO. We always spent a good hour or two at the track after going cold just sweeping and picking up after ourselves and our participants/spectators making sure to leave the place as clean as we found it when we arrived. A lot of us participated in other…

A lot of the Belgians I think of as golden ales and have between 5-7% ABV. But I was sorta not using a proper phrase because I am not that knowledgeable. I guess what I’m thinking of are more Belgian Pale Ales.

Fake exhaust tips like on the IS F:

If your criteria is “thirst quenching” and “flavorless,” why not just drink water?
