It'd be really interesting if cars started to follow a 'upgrade you car as it ages' model.

Probably referring to the diff and rear subframe taken from the Camaro ZL1 (Already a Zeta so the whole thing was relatively easy to lift across, and saved them development money)

There's few things I want more than a ride in one, someday. YouTube videos can only get you so far.

My dad's car. Before I reached driving age he sold it to help pay for my parents' dream house. Most recently it sold for $1.2M at auction, nearly 10X what he sold it for. :*(
I rode in it many times, but I was never old enough to drive it.

If they said "Barbus" they're bogus.

Shouldn't he have used a Saab?

But this one has those awesome hotel carpet vacuum patterns on the mat in the back, that's got to be worth two or three grand, right?

In the late 1960's, this Ford GT40 MkIII also drove the streets of NYC. http://motoringconbrio.com/2012/02/17/thi…

That's one of the things I like about Jalopnik is the commenters. They're usually pretty intelligent and even when they're not it's not like uber troll bad. I don't really care about Miatas or wagons, but when I go to other car sites (autoblog, others) that do cover cars like Lamborghinis and the new Mustang, and…

Number 1 is not the best sounding at all.

How to win car tug of war:

Seriously. The 210MPH is amazing and all but my jaw dropped at the sight of those two cars moving over at around 1:43. It was a thing of beauty rarely witnessed stateside.

guh...car tug of war. this us not, nor ever will be anything remotely related to power. its f=(mu)N. force of torque applied to the road = friction of driven wheels to the road multiple by the normal force (weight). its so much easier to add weight than it us to add mu. the g could have done this in 2wd

I'm not surprised by this. Its all about traction, and as soon as the supra starts spinning the tires, it doesn't have much chance of beating the traction of the G wagon.

The boyfriend has one. I drove it.

He would have been a perfectly fine used car salesman! Or perhaps owned a diner somewhere and talked to people about how fresh the pie was. Anything other than that and he seemed to be in over his head.

Okay, I win.

Plot twist: he wasn't pressing the gas pedal

That's because no owner actually drives it fast. Prius owners, on the other hand, save lots of money on gas.
