Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Braking, too, better braking, very important for a 16 year old.

Gas mileage might be subpar.

Better braking is important for a car with 668 HP?  No kidding???

I found a used Caddy for only $60,000.  Still more than double the expected budget, sadly.

The V6 MOPAR claims 19 in the city and 30 on the highway.  I guess that's possible.

I'm just happy I lucked into a good deal for my son's car. $2K. 20-year old Toyota Highlander w/ 130K miles. Garaged, single owner, impeccably maintained (it was his now late great-grandpa's car).

Not sporty, but that's a feature, not a bug.

If I were paying the bill, this is what we'd be doing.  It was my intent to have my kids save as much as they could and I'd match it.

But my inlaws killed any chance of that years ago when they promised to buy cars for my kids when they turned 16.  It's part of their bribe to convince my kids to go to Texas A&M. We'll see how that works out for them when my daughter who is definitely FAR FROM being on the conservative side, figures out what kind of campus culture they have in College Station...

This thing looks sort of sporty, in the way the German saloon cars can also look kind of sporty.

The Brit word "saloon" is interesting, I think it's Brit.

Yup, I'm sure I picked it up watching Top Gear all these years.

Top Gear was great, for a while.  The newbies aren't.

Clarkson's Farm was pretty neat, my wife liked it.

Yeah I couldn't watch any of the newbies on Top Gear.

I followed the old crew over to Amazon for the Grand Tour but after 20 years or so, the show is sort of petering out, anyway.  They're now releasing maybe one episode per year, and it's entirely made up of their on-location "movies" rather than any studio time, which is fine with me.  The movies are a lot of fun even if you know it's mostly just a gag.

I too like Clarkson's Farm, hoping there's a Season 3.  Jeremy bickering with his neighbors is just classic stuff.

I've spent some time on a farm when I was a kid.  It wasn't at all like that, it seemed Jeremy had a deep check book for whatever.

Well, yeah.  He's a multi-scores-of-millionaire who bought a Lamborghini tractor just because of the name. The gags are part of the gig.  It's all a put-on but it's fun to watch. 

Yup.  Overweight, ancient chassis designs, poor mpg, poor handling ...

The 68 nova did weigh much
