3. No seat sharing. When girls sit on the arm of my chair or in my lap or next to me in a one-person seat, it makes me think that she wants some sexing. A possible exception is fitting an extra person in a car that is filled to capacity. I can’t let my passion hurt the quest to maximize a designated driver, but be warned; it might not be the seat belt poking you.

One big difference is that these sites are (mostly) free, making revenue from ad sales alone. But many of these sites are also experimenting with new ways to introduce people who may be a good match. More on each below.

Its the same platform as the Solstice, but the Saturn dealership is much easier to deal with. And the body style of the Saturn is growing on me.

Because we wanted this slide show to be more than just a chance to ogle ten beautiful cars, we challenged ourselves to walk in other people’s shoes. Forget what we find sexy. What would a Miami Beach plastic surgeon find sexy? What would a hip-hop mogul find sexy?

The second car is the Lotus Sport Elise, which slots in between the narrow-minded Exige Cup and the relatively civilized Elise. The Sport Elise is fully street legal but adds adjustable Ohlins dampers and front anti-sway bar, defeatable Lotus Traction Control and a competition clutch. A roll cage and harness bar is also standard equipment. Only 50 examples of the Sport Elise will find their way ashore in the North America and each will carry a price tag of $54,995.

1. I have gone to three dealerships to check out various new cars in the last few weeks.  Once I was ignored until I walked out (fuck you Saturn Sky), and twice, coincedentally, I got the black sales guy.  I’m not saying its meaningful, but I am muttering RACISM to myself angrly.
2. The car looks badass from across the lot, but slightly toyish from up close.  The door handles suck, and the rear lights look a little silly.
3. The inside is smaller than the Element.  It doesn’t make sense, but it felt smaller, or at least smaller than something that is that big outside should be.
4. Dealer markups have started.  I configured one online, and it comes to about $26k.  At the dealership they pretty much start at $30k, though with the options I want.

If I had the money, this would be the car parked next to my other ‘if’ car, the Pontiac Solstice. If I had ridiculous money it would be an Aston Martin and a Range Rover Sport.  If I had Bill Gates money it would be a Unicorn and a throne carried on the stooped shoulders of all who would defy me.  Or maybe the Range Rover still.

Yes, I drove, and would buy, a yellow one.

The all-new FJ Cruiser is the latest in a long line of celebrated off-road vehicles from Toyota. And in the tradition of the legendary Land Cruiser family, the FJ Cruiser is not only engineered to conquer anything Mother Nature has to offer, but keep coming back for more.

At first glance, the menacing presence and dark undertones of the FUSE subtly hint there is more than meets the eye. The front of the FUSE glares at you with slim, high-mounted, deep-set headlamps communicating a serious and aggressive attitude.
