The only allowable vehicle for a male of the human species is a F250.

Hammond drove one on Grand Tour. The other two guys had cars that cost twice as much as his, but he schooled them on the track.

Good episode, great car, if a little lacking in the horsepower department. If you want to drive fast, that's the wrong car. If you want to out handle any other roadster, you can't do much better.

Toyota mr2



I actually started looking at used Mr2 today. They're pretty affordable, and it was high school me's realistic dream car.

Never looked twice at one. Then my son bought one, thing is a kick in the arse to drive. His is older. You right about the no power.

Had a 01 in college, it was a fun car to drive, right up until the point I flipped it twice and hit a tree upside down 6 feet off the ground. Testament to Toyota engineering though because I walked away without a scratch

The MiniCooper defies all known laws of physics in it's roominess. I wouldn't buy one but they are a pleasure to drive.

And that Mazda is a good looking car but it does look cramped as hell.

Not too bad for a Mazda. Would be a decent weekend car if you can't afford a Porsche or other upper class coupe.

I'm 6'4' also, about 10 years ago I had an Audi TT. It was fun to drive and I had no problem fitting inside.

Seems like a corvette would be good for someone over 6’ tall. But then again I’ve never sat in or rode in one.

Don’t see how you can say this given the constant shite people post here about guys financing one for 100 months at 18%.

I’m 6’4 and the 911, Vette and 718 were all fine for me. Mustang and Camaro were also fine as rentals but hated the sight lines on the Camaro.

The turbocharged 718 makes me wonder why they never offered that as an option on the Miata. Completely different performance profile with the extra HP.
