At this point, I’m much more impressed by a clean stock example of these cars. It’s gotten hard to find one that hasn’t been made into a hot rod. Hot rods made sense in the 1950s and 60s when these were nothing more than old cars you could get from the junk yard cheap. Now, building a hot rod is just ruining a 80+…

I want to feel some kind of sympathy for you, any kind at all, but owning and driving a reliable car for 3 years is as much a tragedy as Five Guys only giving you a few extra overflowing-from-the-cup fries rather than the heaping pile you usually get.

SVX ugly?

Would you like one together with an Subaru SVX for $4100?

If you’re driving in an area with a terrible winter, please, get some tires that make sense.

Automatic one star rating if the back-up indicators light up for anything other than backing up. I want to throttle whoever decide it was OK to keep those lit when using the fob to unlock the doors.

Why don’t you really screw with them and drive a

Wait a minute! You may be onto something! Take your car in disguise...

For weekdays at the ol’ parking lot:

(Originally this headline said the buybacks would occur at 1/5th the price of the car; that is incorrect and has been amended.)

I’m calling CP, as great replicas can be bought for a just a little more money, but...what the hell is this? I thought that I had seen most, if not all, of the AC Ace replicas until this posting.

One should always make sure that the car is fully in Park.
