I agree they have their uses. Especially when it comes to gas mileage. I'd drive a diesel over a Prius, to be honest. My original point was towards the author's last paragraph, talking about Europe laughing at us. It's a necessity over there, but not necessarily here, as it's not as expensive as it is over there.

It's low revving, sounds like shit and it stinks. I love torque, but a turbo will add that for me.

I think the animators were angry because their chicks were banging black dudes. That's like a white guy's worst nightmare.

To be honest, I'd rather have a bad manual than a good automatic. My 1st gen has a transmission that's essentially off a 1981 Toyota Celica, and it's great. It's smooth and fun. Autos bore me to death.

No, I'm the kind of person that won't buy a diesel in the first place.

They can laugh all they want, they'll begin crying when filling their tanks. Americans are ignorant to diesel fuel because we don't need to know about it. Europeans need to squeeze every drop they can while we can burn it for the hell of it. We get the last laugh.

No you wouldn't. Unless you're a millionaire, the bank would only loan you $113k for a $113k car. They wouldn't give you $180k for a $113k car. So you wouldn't have "change to play with"

"That was good huh? Because I DID know I couldn't do that...huh huh huh"
