We could all get one of those programmable gamma boards for the rear window like Jeremy Clarkson bought on the Top Gear caravanning episode. Read more

Jonny, I heel and toe in my Beetle (same pedal cluster basically). It's not impossible. You kind of have to be able to point your toe towards yourself a bit so that your heel can hit the gas, but it's doable. Read more
@madetoheal: Well, to be fair, your gas prices are low in Jersey because of that awful smell wafting down the Turnpike from the refineries. ;-) I do think the prices would be even lower if gas station owners didn't have to pay attendants. Read more
@c1josh: That's not exclusively Audi's problem. Plenty of engines run the water pump off the timing belt, and it's stupid on every single one of them. Even everybody's favorite reliable car company Honda does this. I've seen plenty of engines completely eat it because of a seized water pump bearing. Water pump… Read more
@madetoheal: Gas prices would be cheaper if you weren't paying gas station attendants, that's how. If they put an end to the self-service ban, gas prices would fall a bit in Jersey, and then the tax hike wouldn't seem like one. Paying gas station attendants costs gas station owners quite a bit, and they "pass the… Read more
Also, as much as I love this car, you've nominated it for some of the wrong reasons. Brezhnev was a Stalinist and Idi Amin a genocidist. Can we leave them out of the fantasy garage? K, thx. Read more
Yes, yes, all kinds of yes! If this car doesn't make it in, the garage will have no soul. The only car more beautiful than the Goddess. A garage with so much Bruce needs a lady with a pretty smile to take the edge off. With money and mechanics no object, I'd rather drive one of these all day long than any other… Read more
Nobody would notice a gas tax hike if they'd get rid of that asinine ban on self service gas stations. That's the real reason not to buy gas in New Jersey. No, I don't want your grubby mits all over my car, and no I don't want to tip you for something I'm happy to do myself if it wasn't prohibited by state law. Read more
There seems to be a lot of love for the E39's looks, and I'll have none of it. That's one seriously dated sedan. The RS4, on looks alone, plus, you know, the go-fast bits. Read more
If we're talking supercars or 70s muscle cars, the loudest color possible. Grabber orange, lime green, panther pink, what-have-you. Read more
Incidentally, the Pimp My Ride "Earth Day" special starred the Governator, biodiesel, and a '65 Impala Super Sport. It was far and away the most tasteful car that G.A.S. has ever done for that show by virtue of being the only tasteful car they have done for that show. Read more

You gotta use the voice from the Datsun 280ZX commercials when reading this: Read more
@jpoRS: Check out the BABE rally. Read more
There would be the frame-off Chevy LUV in pieces scattered around my garage right now. There would be the gradual wearing off on my girlfriend, who just a couple of weeks ago while in NYC took a digital photo of a 2CV in the West Village and came back excited to show it to me. There's that hour long weekly podcast I… Read more
@TurboBrick: What happened is that families decided that every single kid needed a seat belt. 4 kids in my family and we used to sit all the way across the back seat of my parents various full-sized cars, old Caddys and Caprices. Later on my parents had a Mercury Sable wagon without the third row seat and one kid… Read more
