I guess there's something wrong with me; but I'd rather have that minty red Lumina Eurosport over that RS4....

yes Firm, something is very wrong with you

still on my dream car list, in either black or that blue. The Audi 4.2 is one of the best sounding V8s of all time.

Took me 3 tries to get my Lexus V8 to sound like the Audi 4.2

A new BMW X3 with the M sportpaket and turbo 6. Helps to live 110km away from the factory I guess,

Nice, still see a few of these around out here, but not usually unmolested.

Car and Driver was quite complimentary in their review of the X3 M40i.

Two Dodge Darts within a 5 km trip to the library. That makes a total of 3 I have seen since they came out a few years back.
Never worked out why they did not sell around here.

Like real Darts or the Neon/K car one??

Aside from the fact that it shared nothing with the Neon (much less the K car), his post clearly states he's talking about the modern Dart.

There's one in my 'hood, a manual
The few times I've seen it I've thought "good on ya man", because the stick in those Dart's is not good...

Currently in Florida. Just saw a new red convertible Mustang with I think what they call a kangaroo bumper guard. It was chome, huge and looked ridiculous.

Was it at least 5.0, though?

GTR in the parking lot of the pulp mill. Why would you drive that in winter when there’s snow on the way.

Why wouldn't you if you've got winter tires?

And the Dart was based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta platform. Nothing to do with the K-car bin!

I saw one of those awesome plows with the trailer that swings out to cover 2+ lanes.

Exactly like this one:
https://youtu.be/YJEgkbq_b2Q?t=64

...and then a woman in a Sienna, wearing a niqab, plowed through a red light to make a right turn without stopping - right in front of me. I stopped mid-intersection 'cuz I knew she'd slide right on through. She sure did - clear across 3 lanes of traffic. Fortunately nobody was there, but it angered me so much to see people driving like nutjobs in this weather, and likely with children in the car.

What difference does it make that she was wear Niqab ?

Could it be she hails from a country which does not get snow...or one that forbids women from driving?
