Clarkson doesn't like Chevrolets, that makes me sad.

He sure doesn't like anything with two wheels, the Top Gear Vietnam special was hysterical. Nothing gets a good laugh from me faster than Clarkson's voice going up two octaves as he struggles with something like starting a moped.

Thanks for that link. I caught that show maybe a handful of times on TV and never paid much attention but I really enjoyed watching that full episode.
Dude, I so want that Cosworth Subaru Impreza!!!!!

Well been MIA, been working allot. But got my new 2012 Volvo C30 R-Design. This is my first non-GM or Ford vehicle, and the first car that has impressed me, especially with the attention to small details.

The power band is so broad and comes on, then just pulls non-stop to redline. The 6 speed manual is very nice, the hydraulic clutch is still something to get use to, the shifter is light and crisp. The sound proofing is amazing and can be found even below the dash. It comes completely rust proofed from the factory and better than any aftermarket I've ever seen. The LED driving lights are vivid and work well. The active bending HID headlamps are amazing!! Rain sensing wipers are fantastic. Fit & finish is just better than anything I've owned.




It's no HHR for inside size. The dash gauges are super crisp!



As said when i was test driving cars, the 5th cylinder really shows face with rolling acceleration.

of course I couldn't help myself... window tint is always a must


Looks good with the Fiesta


I decided to replace all the "white" (yellow) lights with LEDs
