What that BMF needs is 22 inch chrome. Put the "Donk" back in Donkervoort. In fact, I believe "ervoort" is Dutch for "superfly".
Bottomed out my Jeep Patriot over a steep hill. Basically imagine climbing over a pointy triangle of dirt.
Spun my corolla off the road at 85kph. Backwards into a tree. The gravel was so wet and the tires were so shit that the skid marks were barely visible. Very little traction, and I of course was way way over the limit. This was on some windy abandoned country road.
I was doing 40mph over the limit (in Ontario, where I live that means they take your car and license). My friend was in the back seat with 36 beers, which is not legit when you`re only 18. The cop asks "Have you been drinking?", to which I answer "Not yet". Guy just lets me off. Didn't even have time to crap my pants.
So if this is coming to America to replace the Cobalt, will we get the amazing SS option with no-lift shift and 260hp? GM would be stupid to get rid of such an amazing yet cheap performance car now that it can finally be paired with an attractive exterior.
This is like a Grade Four math question:
"If a train leaves Albuquerque heading West at 2 PM is moving at 50 mph, and a truck leaves Nebraska heading south at 65 mph, at what time will they cross paths, assuming the trucker's sniffer is full of nose candy?"
It may not be the classiest looking car, but nothing turns heads like a Dodge Viper.
@cargogh: Hey, you probably don't use your living room while you sleep, right? I find it selfish AND hypocritical that you don't open your kitchen, bathroom and all unused square footage of your house to the homeless. I work in an office and I find it a source of great comfort to know a possible herion-using schitzofrenic who hasn't performed basic hygenic tasks in god knows how long is occupying my workspace for eight hours a night.
@muhnkee_2: In some cultures they eat their homeless. Here in Canada we put them out to sea on icebergs with the elderly to freeze.
Does this qualify for a California ZEV subsidies? Cause for those who watch South Park, we all know
"California: super cool to the homeless."
"California: super cool to the homeless."
Here in Canada we have Camaro police cars on the DVP (it's a highway known for street racing). I figure if you can't catch it in a z28 cop package camaro, you really should turn the chase over to a helicopter or just give up. Seriously, if you can't catch them at 250kph, it's just ridiculously unsafe and against polcie practice (at least here it is) to continue chasing. Plus, are you really gonna pit a guy in a 98' Taurus with your carbon-fibre ZR1? It's like the cops in Richmond Hill with Volvos... why waste the money?
It's too help meet CAFE standards. If your driving causes your consumption to dip below 15 mpgs, the pedal snaps off. Much cheaper than implementing AFM or any of that crap.
I personally think it's awesome... comes in 1980's garish purple and looks like a shark that ate a Camaro. Drop in an LT1 and I'd have bought it.
I can see the headline now: "BMW attempts return to aviation roots, house Bangled in process".
How about if a teenage kid bought a second-hand Camaro that turned out to be a robot? It could star Shia LeBoeuf and spend Burma's GDP on CGI.
Perhaps they meant years before changing the batttery? That or this car runs on the power of its own coolness.
...and then Big Oil killed him off and bought the patent to intermittant wipers and buried it. Now, for only $499 you can get 100 MPG with the miracle of intermittant wipers! We accept Paypal, money order or deposits to our Nigerian account.
Anyone else think the grill looks like it was stolen of a VW?
Subaru went from making "quirky" looking cars to falt ugly on this one. It looks okay as the base model hatch in a subdued colour. But in the garish tones and bulges of the STI, it looks more the the business end of a sphincter.
That Camaro probably has consumed about 55,000 gallons of gas in it's lifetime. Gas well spent I say.
