Slow the fuck down. Seriously. Take it from someone who had three speeding tickets by the time they were 18. Number three came after I turned 18, so I dodged the state of Ohio suspending my license for a year. Read more

Ferrari should be required to run gold painted wheel covers (ugh, I wish we were seeing actual wheels). I will brook no debate on this. Read more

Agreed. But, I may also be extremely biased here. Read more

I’m going to go NP solely because I have a soft spot for rally specials. If I had lots and lots of money, my garage would be filled with ‘em.  Read more

You could learn to live with it, but it was annoying. The VW mechanic I took it to said it best- “I never leave the keys in ANY Mk IV Golf or Jetta.” Read more

An MB V8 powered Crossfire sounds weirdly desirable. Read more

We had a Mk IV VW Jetta of similar vintage and the power locks failed in ridiculously complicated ways. Short version: the VW’s locks were driven by little ECUs, one in each door. If one failed, the locks would not work properly (in our case re-locking after about 10-15 seconds and setting off the alarm if a door was… Read more

To my eyes, that’s fairly typical of this generation E Class. The larger gap between hood/grille and the front fascia is due to “over slam” requirements. When you close the hood, usually with some force, it travels a little further beyond closed position before returning back up. It’s sometimes tough to manage the… Read more

Translation: “Look, we’ve got this shit locked into the development pipeline for the foreseeable future and it’s gonna cost way too much to pump the brakes on most of it now.” Read more

A GM spokesperson described it to me as “a fist flying through the air.” Read more

It has the potential to bite even on new tires. The time I drove one it rained for most of the evening. Getting underway in third gear was sometimes needed. Which it did like it was nothing. Read more

Goddamn, this is NP all the way. Seriously. The GTS Coupes will bring more money, but this is the Viper-as-bringer-of-death that was originally intended. It won’t be cheap to own, but that is expected with cars like this. Read more

Unrelated question: why did Honda spell it Cro$$road? Read more

Track days, Viper, and 911. I feel pretty pleased having checked a few off on this list. We had the family heirloom 69 911 for about 10 years before it had to go to a new home (I very much wish we still had it). It was a 911T that my late father in law turned into a pretty effective autocross machine. An incredibly… Read more

Good Lord, that CBX motor. I could listen to that for a VERY long time. Read more

The want on this is very strong. I’ve committed to keeping my Evo for as long as possible, but this little beast is making me try to figure out how I could do both. Read more

a focus on quarterly profits rather than long term investment Read more

For fuck’s sake, it’s Spa. That’s all the justification it needs. Read more

Probably like that to help package the bottom slider for that rear door. Read more

I suppose it’s about time that Lincoln conceded that people will be cool with riding in one, but they really don’t want to drive a Lincoln.  Read more
