The new M3 is tempting to. When if ever I get an M6 (which is my plan) I think I am going to take it to Dinan.
The new M6 that comes out in 2011 is supposed to be a twin turbo V-10 pushing 700+ hp.

I like the Exige and the Atom because they're light, straighforward sports cars with great HP-weight ratios.

I will say this about the M6, the V-10 is great engine.

Yes it is. Dad brought one home for his company car and taught me how to drive stick in it. Once I got that hang of it that was damn fun to drive. I loved that car.

Tractors become fun when you learn to back them over watermelons and pumpkins. POP!!! SPLAT!!!
The huge tires are needed to actually push down on the fruit enough to get the skin to pop.
And FWIW, what ever happened to Letterman steamrollering stuff? That was the coolest.

1978 Mazda GLC.
Mom took me to the steepest hill in town, made me stop uphill and practice starts... It was great amusement for her at the time. Less so when the bill for the new clutch came.

I learned in a '57 Ford, stick on the column. That was the driver training car at my school (Newport Harbor). They made us go down to Laguna and practice on the hills, including going up a very steep one with a stop sign just before the top. Kinda scary with the kids that couldn't master smoothly releasing the clutch and adding gas at the same time!

there are so many great things about that car, but my 2 personal favorites are:
1. the naca duct into the fog light
2. the 2L bottle lens on the tail lights.

Don't forget:
1) the front and rear fascias that look like something my son and I crafted out of paper mache for school.
B. the chicken wire mesh in the front fascia
iii) the warped plywood double rear wing
What I'm struggling with is what the original donor car was. Looks vaguely like a Civic
