Lots of good stuff, but I love the winner. Nothing like a good jab at the Mechanic.

I disagree with TXG, I think it looks great from the sides.

I was surpised that technetium99's "The Pokey and the Not-So-Pokey" did not make the list. Congrats on the win!

Thanks, I thought for sure MazdaSpeed Trap would be the winner.
As for The Mechanic, keep the articles coming! I love them. Some people just don't get it, but The Mechanic articles serve three purposes: 1) To entertain, 2) To get people riled up in a moderately controlled and confined area, and 3) To draw traffic to the web site. I love reading someone trying to justify buying a Coblat, a true four wheeled turd.

EXACTLY. And therein lies my issue with him/her. 1)I find scarcely little entertaining about him, 2)there is no use in getting worked up over one person's thoughts on the automotive industry and 3)the "traffic" generated is mostly people arguing over the Mechanic's posts. :-/
Everyone has a right to voice their opinion; but what makes the Mechanic's worthy of so much attention? And why do people bother responding to his pointless rants? This person gets way more attention than he/she deserves.
