I'm glad BMW is finally just a few years behind Audi in engine development :)

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on World's Most Hideous Nissan Maxima Found In Kuwait]]> Don't scissors and gullwings kind of clash? I feel that suicide gullwings in the back would add much needed symmetry.

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on 2009 Nissan 370Z Breaks Cover]]> I, for one, do not like this modern trend of vertically flattening the first inch radius of the wheel arch. What is with that? Couldn't you have the same strength and use smoother lines? They even managed to make the 3G Eclipse uglier by doing that. Is there an option to roll the fenders before paint?

I don't really get the headlights either. They might as well have made them into the shape of a "Z." Cut off that little nub of fender sticking in there, and make that light cluster nice and clean.

Other than that, it's great ;)

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on Something New And Wonderful Coming Into Our Lives: The 1963 Chevrolets!]]> Ok, that's two posts that reminded me of my foolishly sold 63 Nova wagon. Shame on you people. I'm going to go put on some Morissey and have a good cry.

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on RENNTech Prepping Rally-Inspired Mercedes GLK Hybrid For SEMA]]> It's still a crossover. I dont' know why I hate them so much, but I do.

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on In Defense Of Brightly Colored FWD Cars]]> Nicely written. I agree with pretty much everything except I think I've actually started to see more interesting colored german cars on the road lately (mostly Audi, I have yet to see a grey/silver RS4). Maybe we're approaching the end of the "silver era?"

I also love the FWD/AWD platform, after driving an old, loose, RWD classic/muscle car for years. The quattro is much better than the viscous coupler in the DSM, but they both stomp through snow pretty well. I ski all winter, and it's amazing the control you have with F/AWD and some studless traction tires. They're still fun on the track, too. Just find a way to add negative camber and learn to lift a little (or alot) on turn in.

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on Galpin Scythe Condenses SEMA Into Giant Purple Caricature]]> I don't think even 1005HP would be fun with an automatic and scissor doors.

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on Top Ten Ways To Drive Like A, Um... Modified Import Car Enthusiast]]> You forgot the "gangster lean," which is necessary to balance weight in the car as your passenger is a lightweight, underage girl with self esteem issues. Plus, it allows you to properly rest one wrist on top of the steering wheel for proper mechanical advantage for those moments of intense steering feedback.

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on Street Rods Only Bringing Split-Window 1961 Corvette To SEMA]]> Off topic, but has anyone noticed how affordable used C5 Z06's have become? I have. It's starting to become an unhealthy desire.

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on Sen. Carl Levin Thinks Feds Could Help With GM-Chrysler Merger]]> Why is it our fault that our automakers are all bloated with overstocks of no-longer-profitable SUV's and don't have any good cars due to starving them of R&D just to design bigger, badder penis compensators?

Oh, yeah, because we bought into all that Toby Keith "you need a big truck to be free and fight terrorism" crap. We deserve to let the foreign automakers clean house. Let the market they created decide their fate. And this is coming from a socialist commie liberal.

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on 2009 Volkswagen CC: First Drive]]> VAG uber alles!

]]> <![CDATA[Turboner commented on Chrysler Kills AWD Versions Of 2009 Avenger, Sebring, Caliber]]> Maybe it's not the AWD part that people don't like about these cars.

"AWD penetration" CPOTD! (catch phrase of the day)
