Sigh... no Hoonage whatsoever. Nada. A) the car was too fat, heavy and underpowered for that. B) We had been in traffic for two hours C) We received the car with 4900 miles on the odometer. Not exactly a new car... and it was knicked at the front...

Investigatory journalism is a better field, because it doesn't matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way.

Dear Enyce, You caught us. Cause, like, driving down PCH in an exotic car with your buddy on a nice, warm day is totally boring -- what can you say about that. So, we faked the whole thing and just had the flatbed pick us up because we would much rather be riding bitch in an International than blasting through canyons and picking up babes. Have you thought about investigative journalism as a career change? You seem to have the knack.

They gonna let you guys drive that car again, once they get the front fascia re-affixed with proper-strength fasteners? (Hope so.)

Why does the car not look like it's missing the grille, front air dam and wings? Was that just a slight exaggeration/ fabrication on your part to produce a better story?

My god, TheTAC still gave it 2-stars for "design". You guys are more generous than the judges on Star Search.

Haha, serves you guys right for trying to be real car journalists instead of just playing them on the internet. I've got a Ben Franklin that says Schnitzer would have had it fixed in 20 minutes if Csaba Csere was driving.

Wait just a damn second! Everyone in Texas who isn't Mexican is either German or Czech. What the fuck is a Reliant doing in Tejas?

It came dis-tatched from teh body and was being held on by to secondary internal mounting brackets... two very expensive, cracked, German special-order mounting brackets.

Ugly car... but it doesn't look like the front fell off... I can still see it attached. Am I missing something?

Just goes to show you; if Stefan and "Dietrich" had a WRX, their little Italian SNAFU never would have happened. Then again, we wouldn't get to know the inner corruption of the local Transit Authority and their ties to the Swedish mob and the mash-up ability of an Enzo and how not to get rid of all handgun evidence, so it's a learning experience. I bet the 1979 Reliant Kitten I just got to almost die in wouldn't have even made it to 70mph.

Dude. Seriously, camp6ell, we were. That's the shame of it all. It would've been a much better story if we were at Dietrich-esque speed.

Dear Android: I will accept that only if your username is a Douglas Adams reference. If I find out it's Radiohead-related, you're totally cut off. Y'hear?
