It's largely (har) based on your proportions. I drove an NB Miata in high school, but had to sell it when I left for college because I had clearly grown too large for it. The issue wasn't headroom, it was knee-room. I'm all legs (6'2", 34" inseam), and with the seat all the way back I was still hitting the bottom of…

You're not wrong, but I think you are asking for a little more than forethought. Gehry did incomplete solar studies for Disney, for a very complex shape. It's not quite the same as telling me that Piano was supposed to predict that 19 years down the road, a developer would put an enormous reflector in just the right…

Come to Hampton Roads, VA! We have all the Integras ever made! It's a very popular car around here, and there are a good many owned by military folks or NASA engineers (who have been kind enough to leave their cars unmolested)

There are quite a few in my area, but they've been mostly run hard and put away wet. I was looking at one a few months ago that had a pretty rough interior, and at the start of the test drive the gear knob CAME OFF IN MY HAND. It wasn't attached in any way shape or form... Just plonked onto the shaft. Needless to say,…

Bought my 04 wagon four-ish years ago with 62K, sold it last month at 130K... WRXs are war horses

Excellent choice of images to lead off with. Copenhagen is most definitely a "fuel efficient" city, in that no one drives. No one. Something like 80% of Danes bike or use public transportation year round. I lived there for awhile, and I was amazed how quiet the city was. No cars! But by the same token, you can get run…

I was digging JAID, for some reason, but then I said it aloud and it sounded like "jade"... JSOC is my current vote.

Until today, I did not know this adorable little guy even existed. Honda was seriously onto something in the eighties.... What the ever-loving fuck happened?

I had a blue 2004 wagon. I bought it at 62,000 miles, sold it at 130,000 last month. Great car, but it was beginning to show some signs of it's age... Still, a lot of memories in those grey cloth buckets

Oh. Wow, I just... I don't know. I think I'm in love...

The Pantheon sits on a very large piazza with 3-4 story buildings on all sides. It's in the middle of Rome, after all. Pretty much everything on the ground floor of any Roman piazza is a cafe or restaurant, so that McDonalds is pretty much unnoticeable. The feeling you get there is more about the press of the crowds…

I freaking had THIS toy when I was little. God, memories....

Odd that this car (truck? thing?) is in my neighborhood. I pass it every single day on the way to work, and I've been glancing at it for months. It sits in front of an "exotic" car dealership (mostly 90s BMWs and MBs, with the occasional Supra or two), and I've never thought much of it. I always figured it was a…

Hearted for that. It really does look swollen, but not in a swollen haunches/sporty car kind of way. More like that plastic container of leftovers that you forget about in your trunk for a weekend in the summer...

Mine as well. I was skeptical, I wanted a Celica, and I had always heard that the Miata was a "chick car". I drove one because it was pre-owned and a great deal. Good god, was my mind changed after that. I've literally never driven another car that felt so perfect.

Really? How is this not on more lists right now.

This is the reason I read Jalopnik. Thanks, Tom Joslin.

So wait, the "giant killer" GTR, which is infamous for being faster than anything else in it's price bracket, now costs as much, or more, than all the cars that are faster than it...

Rusty. Poor, poor Rusty. This was my first choice as well.
