Tesla Roadster in Chicago, Illinois

Tesla might be in some trouble if the Model S doesn't come out soon.

I almost didn't realize this was anything special until I noticed the absence of sound when it pulled away from the light. This is one electric car that's got some grunt to it.

Isuzu NPR City Van in Chicago, Illinois

"6 miles to the gallon if you're lucky." What I was told when I asked about the gas mileage.

I'm not sure why this thing isn't a diesel. Bouncy ride too.

Maserati GranTurismo in Chicago, Illinois

Like I said before - Maseratis can be sexy machines. Not my cup of tea though.

Maserati Coupé and Porsche Boxster in Evanston, Illinois

First, let's talk about the Porsche. It's light, nimble, and fun to drive. Stick shift only please. Both underrated and overrated, it's a great car in the right hands.

As for the Coupé (yes with the accent over the e), it seems that people in Chicago really love their Maseratis. Yes, they are beautiful. But for the price, I'd much rather have a Ferrari that sounds like heaven and handles like it's on rails. When you're spending this kind of cash, please do some research before you drop 150k on something because it's a status symbol.

BMW M5 in Chicago, Illinois

Dear BMW. See note about the X6. Sticking a V10 in a sedan does not a world class sports sedan make. You should really do some market surveys about who's buying your M5's. Hint: not true performance oriented enthusiasts.

Audi RS4 on I-94 in Michigan

Big direct injected German V8. I was doing ___ mph, and it still blew by me. No sweat.

BMW 335i Coupe in Evanston, Illinois

The 3.0L twin-turbo setup in this BMW makes me so happy. Doing more with less - this is how it should be.

Also, that's my Accord on the left. You never forget your first.
