Gotta be a 911. 1) A modern classic 2) Tricky handling -> only for real drivers 3) Looks like a frog, in a way..

Car: 2004 Honda CR-V EX Rep Power: 0 | Nice descriptions for the Scorpio. It really is a ridiculous car. In fact, it's in a book I have called "The World's Worst Cars" by Craig Cheetham, in the 'design disasters' section.

Car: 05 Audi S4 Cabrio, 01 Chevy Camaro, 07 M1A1 AIM Rep Power: 0 | What got me was that as soon as I saw the design for the new T-Bird, the first thing that went through my mind was "My God. They didn't learn a damned thing from the Scorpio fiasco, did they?" Shame about the Scorpio because external looks aside, it was a damned good car. NTM

 The comparison between a car and a frog (in general) has to come from those big (roundy) headlamps.. In 911 the whole shape of a car reminds me of a frog.. sitting there ready to leap forwards. And of course in a 911, it kills you with one bite. Just like a frog does. And yes, a frog gets killed by something bigger and stronger and yes you can boil it to death without it noticing a thing before it's too late, because it's so stupid. But somehow it has survived tens of thousand of years.. Just like a 911.

Rep Power: 25 | It was a pretty good episode. I don't like the classic car section at first, but it was pretty good seeing them comparing it to a Acura TSX. Those cars supposedly making 300hp lose to a car that's only making 200hp. Those HP numbered are really horribly inflated. I think those classic cars are great for a weekend cruiser where you just wants to look cool. For the same amount of money to modernize one, I would rather get a Skyline GT-R R34 inmported. Thanks for the rip. Please continue releasing the 300mb versions, as I'm in China right now, and my bandwidth is really limited. I can't download the 700mb version. |

Rep Power: 0 | OK, I burn the eps to a DVD to watch on a TV with friends. It takes a while, I rip out the audio make it CBR, and then recompress the video with the letter box things to make it 4:3 so it looks OK on the TV. When I was preparing this ep I accidently put the sound track from last weeks episode with the video from 6x05. if you want a good laugh, try it, it was scary how much the sound and vision matched up. When in 6x04 they are talking about the limo jump, right at the start. and Richard says, "these, and these" (it makes sense when you see it) the vision is james point out from Fences and gates, and they match perfectly. Realy good laugh

Rep Power: 25 | At the end it was a bit slow, other than that, no. But I couldn't be arsed to look thru the whole thing, some timestamps around the time the distrotions were happening would've been nice.
