Last week there was a lot of heated back-and-forth about the Lamborghini Egoista concept. It was too flashy, or only had room for one person, or it was a waste because all Lamborghinis are a waste.

Mom was always there for you as a kid, and part of growing up is learning how to be there for her.

This weekend is the venerated Kentucky Derby, in which three-year old horses gallop about the track and people drink mint juleps and wear silly hats.

It came up again this week — the Millennial Question. You know, the issue that automakers and car enthusiasts alike have with young people. They don't care about cars, and if this data is to be believed, they're part of the reason Americans' driving has dropped off in recent years.

Earlier this week Jason Torchinsky wrote about his experiences in the Fiat 500e. He's a big fan of that entire range, but you'll notice the electric version he drove didn't score too highly in the "audio" or "transmission" categories.

Anyone else feel like the most exciting, interesting and fun cars happen to also be pieces of crap? Top Gear likes to say that you can't be a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo. But if you're able to keep one running properly, you're some kind of superhero.

Last week's Found Around The Dist, Er, New York City feature highlighting a Lancia Beta generally sparked two kinds of responses from you folks: what an awesome car it is, and what a miserably unreliable piece of crap it is.

After reading our stories about the backlash from Vampire Weekend torching some Saabs like a pile of leaves, my buddy Shaun emailed me to say that he would much rather they had set fire to a couple of Acura RSX-es instead.

Cars are fascinating, but at the end of they day, they're just machines that people create. They're nothing without the fascinating people behind them. It takes a dedicated person — or more often than not, a team of people working together — to make an extraordinary automobile.

Last year, weekend editor emeritus Tom Joslin asked you folks what sort of car has you intrigued lately. If you're like me, that changes from week to week, so I thought it would be fun to do a little update to his question.
