]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on 1975 BMW 2002, With Bonus 1975 Poll]]> Yesterday I caught a nice green 2002 DOTS parked in front of a building with a sign reading "Rapid HIV Testing." I didn't bother with the camera to save the owner the indignity of having his car caught in such an unfortunate parking spot. I did once see a pussymagnet yellow Aston Martin in the same spot. If only I had my camera with me then.

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on What's The Best Vehicle For Tailgates?]]> Despite their lack of cool, minivans have served my friends and I well on weekend road trip tailgating adventures. Last time was an electric blue Dodge Caravan, rented of course. What a piece of shit.

Although I will say, Dodge must have improved their transmissions as it took all the abuse we could muster yet all gears remained in working order.

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on What's The All-Time Greatest Video Game Car?]]> It handles well, it accelerates like nothing else and has red shells. Can you compete with a red shell?

Meh to red shells, I'll take the chain from Road Rash.

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on 1932 Ford Model B Pickup]]> I hope I look that good when I'm 76.

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on So That Nice Citroens Might Live, Hanzel Auto Body Hacks Up This Rusty DS]]> Apparently I'm the only one fawning over the Traction Avant grill. Yes, the DS/ID and SM are beautiful, but nothing compares with Bertoni's most timeless and finest. I would love to just have that grill in my house. What a wonderful conversation piece!

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on Fast and Furious 4 Trailer: Grand National, RS200 With Vin Diesely Goodness]]> @Mad_Science: has anyone ever used a computer system that made the high pitched "didididid" noise when text came out?

You mean crosstalk between your cell phone and computer? Move your phone away from the computer or other electronics.

On topic: Like the second and third installments of FnF I have no intention of wasting my time and measly eight bucks.

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on Mysterious 2011 Cadillac Sedan To Offer Four-Cylinder Engine]]> @Elhigh: a four-banger isn't a bad idea, so long as it can get up and haul at the outlandish pace Americans demand.

Yet every morning I have to try to merge onto the highway doing 35 mph because the bullocks in front of me is afraid of the pedal on the right.

Maybe people should learn how to use the hp they have before demanding more.

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on Spiky-Haired Self-Promoter To Destroy Range Rover Sport]]> @teargas: I believe the description you're looking for is:

"Young automotive journalists of promise that lack the necessary means for a necessary means for a higher hoonage."

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on Nissan X-Trail Fuel Cell Jumps Nurburgring Shark]]> This gives a whole new meaning to Green Hell.

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on Project Car Hell, Debacle Edition: Matra Murena or Alpine A310?]]> @graverobber- Two BEER minimum: I couldn't decide until reading that. Murena, c'est la folie!

@charles_barrett: Maybe they should hire some French hamsters. Certainly would be more reliable.

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on Shelby SuperCars Makes Ultimate Aero EV Official, Plans 1000 HP Version]]> I would like to say that as an electrical engineer, my professional opinion is that they are full of shit.

But dear lord I hope I'm wrong.

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on 1960 Peugeot 403, With Bonus French Car Poll]]> @Paul Y. -- Now With More Sodium!: Thirded on a count of being a sucker for chevrons. But I still could not resist the allure of the 403.

And on a semantic note, French cars don't have charm. Thats something for stodgy British cars. French cars allure with their je ne sais quois.

]]> <![CDATA[EdFinnerty commented on What Kind Of Super-Rich Car Buyer Would You Be?]]> I would create a garage that would be an homage to my two favorite automotive designers, Raymond Loewy and Flaminio Bertoni. That means filling a garage with Studebakers and Citroëns. As for the actual garage, a gutted PRR S1 locomotive would only be right. [en.wikipedia.org]

Citroën:
-Traction Avant (How many variations could I find?)
-DS (must have wagon and coupe)
-2CV
-AMI 6
-GS Birotor (not a Bertoni design but I must have one.)
Studebaker:
-Avanti
-Commander
-Champion
