| Thats pretty expensive for a Honda but I like the Insight. Doubt I would ever buy one though. |

Saleen S7 0-60 is actually 3.8.
McLaren F1 (road car) is 3.4 or 3.5 seconds 0-60.
Cars are my life.... |

| Mercedes-Benz CLK GT-R is the way to go when it comes to cars. It was the only car ever to be flown in for the TAS. |

I don't think it actually looks that good, and its not much faster than any other high-end car, although it does cost about $1.5 million. You could get 3 Porsche Carrera GTs for that and still have $100,000 left over.
Warren Buffett would frown on the lack of value in the CLK GT-R. |

Congratulations, you are stuck with an ugly looking, technically unspecial, unique car. Why not get a handmade one from Aston Martin or a similar manufacturer instead?
You know I have a ridiculous taste in cars, and I can't see why anyone would WASTE their money on something like that. |

It's actually the glue/sealer and other crap they use to put the interior together, along with lubricant in the doors. |

This is the car I want. 
It's a robot and drives itself! This is a step towards all cars driving themselves and maybe someday car crashes would happen as often only as severe computer glitches. (I hope they don't run on Windows 98!!)

On a side note I have to say I'm really impressed with wired magazine. I've only recently started reading it. For those who invest in Technology stocks I'd say this is a must have. |
