what car is that?

Hey, Leo! In my opinion, you would look really good with a 3500 turbo deisel, dually, quad cab, 4 wheel drive! Only the best for the Tech Guy.
Mike Jenkins
That is one nice Mustang GT if I know my Mustangs well enough. Can tell by the sound it's the GT.
scherercomputin
I'd suggest a Subaru WRX or STi over the Mustang. AWD baby.
ckollars
I thought from his Twitter post the was the new SHO.
Neil
Doesn't look like the TWIT Tesla - come on Leo, support your local NorCal businesses ;)
Mike Milzz
I like the WRX too, but it's in quite a different category. Mustang is excellent for crusin'
JoshDietrich
Leo, way to go. I loved my Mustang until some one ran a red light and wiped it out. Great car.
amays
Wait a year and a half and get a Tesla Model S!
Tyler
I vote for the black Mustang.
Drew Cantu
Looking at the dash, it's a SHO. Plus Leo said he's looking at the SHO today :/
A visitor
The mustang's engine produces very low HP for it's size compared to euro or asian cars. It also has a very primitive differential which causes it to spin out a lot of power in turns. The few people I know who have owned them say that the car loosens up and doesn't preform very well after it's first year.
Hank
It's not a SHO, it's a Mustang. Look at the steering wheel. That big horse in the middle is a bit of a tipoff.
It's a Mustang.
Go check out a Dodge Challenger.

SHO Ford has been advertizing the Taurus for some time. Don't think the -stang as a SHO.
Guy Aiello
Jeez...get real and buy a European car. Preferably German. American cars are useless. They are the butt of the rest of the worlds jokes!!!
Carl
I agree with some of the previous posters, check out the Subaru WRX sport wagon (in STi trim or not.) Great utility with the hatchback, sporty as heck, 4-doors instead of a coupe, and AWD for excellent handling.
Ogremustcrush
hahaha! Love the little scream Leo gives as they take the turn. ahahaha! ; )
Mike Grace
How do you love thee (Mustang)??? Let us count up the 'moving' violation ways...
Wayne_In_Akron
You think that is fast ...
Michael Holzinger
Who's Lisa?....Leo, are you cheating on Jennifer? (grin)
someone
Babe, STOP means STOP....If i see you roll through another STOP sign like that, I'll have to learn you a lesson.

And here I tried to talk you into inviting an auto/motorcycle journo into the TWiT family but noooooooooo. . .

For the people that suggested non big three cars or trucks. I hope illegal immigrants come and take your jobs. I am willing to pay a premium to have anything made and or manufactured in the United States by US citizens. .
Dave
Dave, most "US" cars aren't made in america, they are mostly made in Canada. The "foreign" Auto makers employ quite a large amount of US citizens and but a large number of cars right here in america. The idea that you should buy a car from one of the big three (who are all now international companies) just because they wave the flag is what lead to their decline. They made cars that were cheap, poorly designed, poorly made and have little longevity.
Hank
Why buy American when it barely reaches second rate, Dave? American cars are, at best, terrible.
Carl
Dave, I like well made American cars, that's why I buy Honda, Toyota, or Nissan ;)
Jeff
Carl- what facts back that up?

I've owned American cars all my life and NEVER has one gone down before 160K. Believe in your myth all you like, but you should keep a more open mind.

John
I test vehicles for a living, and it took me three of the latest GM pickup efforts to get one that was built in the US. When people ask me about 1/2-ton pickups, I tell them if you want to be positive it was built here by American workers, get a Toyota or Nissan.  
Bill Heald
Y'all who are suggesting non-Ford products missed one critical clue as to reason he was looking at the Mustang, and us who know aren't going to tell...you'll just have to see in a bit which I'm sure you'll then understand.
J.C. Hallgren
Nice scenic roads for biking! Just don't run them off the road.
John Coffey
My evidence comes in many forms. Firstly I'm a mechanic and the build quality, handling and reliability of german cars is second to none. German, Japanese cars sell all over the world across many demographics. American cars are virtually exclusive to the U.S Market. Why? Because the rest of the world won't tolerate such poor build quality, poor handling and poor fuel consumption.
Carl
I'd still rather have a Morgan Aeromax, even if it is the most phallic looking thing on wheels
Andrew Wardell
Nearly did a spit take on my macbook when Lisa took the turn.
Damn you Laporte! :)

These few Cars companies are really competing against each other

Greetings,

I've had trouble accessing Settings when using Safari to visit my posterous site. Firefox seems to work fine in this regard. I'm using Safari 5.1.2 on an iMac. I also use Ghostery, but I use this on Firefox as well.

Best,

WTH
