"One of my friends had a loaner ford contour that was chocolate brown with a gray interior.
In what dimension does putting those two colors together make sense?"
"Drifting is just like any sport.
It sucks to watch it, but it's a load of fun to do.
This goes for any sport, whether it be rugby, rally, tennis, fooseball, football, marathon sex, or knitting."
"I liked the pic of the 2009 more.
With a market saturated with sub $20k E46 M3's and XKR's, buying a new vehicle right now doesn't seem as much fun anymore."
"I was driven home from the Watford England General Hospital in my Dad's 67 E-type fhc after being born.
I was cursed to put up with British build quality and electrical systems from birth, which is why I own an XK8 coupe."
"If I trade in my Jag for a 96 Miata M-edition, it will take me 556 months to break even, even though the Jag gives me almost a $3000 credit when I trade it on the Miata.
Strangely, this is the same length of time as if I bought a new Solstice."
"So the GTi is the reason that they won't sell either the A3 3-door or the Scirocco here?
The obvious solution would be to discontinue the MkV GTi.
It's like, you can't date either of the two hot sisters, because you're already engaged to the oldest, who used to be fun, slim, and low maintenance, but has ballooned in size, and eats twice as much.
Um, I'd like to think it would be a good idea to dump the overweight ugly one for one of the cute younger sisters that hasn't been corrupted by living in the US for so long."
"I would prefer Ravage to be played by a Jaguar XK.
Preferably mine.
I would rather ride on the back of a mechanical Jaguar for my morning commute.
Unfortunatly, after a few days, I have the feeling that Ravage would be blind in one eye, dragging a leg, and bleeding ATF everywhere.
And this would be before meeting up with any Autobots.
Come to think of it, since the Autobots seem to be made up of a ton of crappy cars this time, minus the vette concept, and the awesomeness that is and always will be Bumblebee, how about adding the "Lucascons" to the Decepticons?
You could have "Lights Out" an MGB GT, "Smoke Screen" a Triumph GT6, "Sparks" a Lotus Europa, and "OMG, For The Love Of All Things Holy, My Tachometer Just Caught On Fire!" a TVR Tasmin"
"Eh.
Mad Max never had to pay for gas, and I'm sure he had more fun than anything Volvo could suggest.
For the automotive apocalypse, there's strength in numbers, so the bigger family you have, the more warriors are in your army.
Just don't be surprised if Lord Humongous drop kicks your 3-year old after your kid trips over the Shredder inspired Ikea cookware armor you made for him.."
"Anyone else notice this is an SR5 model, not a GTS?
If it still has the 4AC, the fact that drifting has essentially been banned from NorCal tracks probably affects him less than most other AE86 owners.
I have my own AE86 too, bone stock mint condition red coupe.
I love it, roasting 13" tires with 73 hp was never so much fun."
"If we all rode around in giant robots, we wouldn't have to worry about lifted trucks.
Come to think of it, aftermarket chrome testicles probably would have been outlawed sooner if some congressman's wife saw them swinging off the crotch of a 5 ton humanoid robot.
The Dragons will read this and probably go crazy thinking about all the possibilities."
"Hybrid owners are losing more and more things to be smug about.
My Jaguar XK8 is greener than a Prius for example.
Anyone will tell you, a hybrid that runs 100% of the time is not as green as a British car that runs 10% of the time."
"I ashamed that a Jalop would post something like this.
Besides, we all know the best way to steal gas is out of some guys sport bike while he's enroute to the hospital."
hey man, I just saw your comment about the Hennessey Venom. Right on. But I saw you say that you're from a car design background- how so? I'm waiting to hear if I got into Art Center and CCS right now.
