I feel really bad for the people who traveled and got hotel rooms for it. I was bummed out that I paid for two tickets to get in. I can’t imagine my rage at two nights’ cost in a hotel.

It was the first year at 'Dega.  I hear Atlanta was much better.

I am so pumped! I have high expectations for this event. The last pay-to-enter car show I went to was Import Alliance in Talladega.  It was terrible.  Hopefully RadWood Atlanta can wash that taste out of my mouth.

What is the deal with those bumpers?  Does the owner have to land a plane on them?

All these Jimny posts are making me depressed.  Stupid 25 year import law.

Man, those seats are hard to look at...

I’ve always felt like a rally inspired car would absolutely fit Jeep’s off-road heritage. It’d be like the spunky little brother who did off-roading his own way.  It could be so cool.

Counterpoint: Jeep should make a car. It should be a rally inspired, AWD, turbo/supercharged little beast.  Basically a Jeep WRX or Focus RS or something.  It should unashamedly be a car and not a lowered Compass or other crossover.

It reminds me so much of the development of the 5th generation Camaro. It came out in concept form in 2006, then in Transformers in 2007, but wasn’t available until the 2010 model year. Despite the fact that they camo’d the mules up, we still knew what the thing would look like. With all that exposure before launch,…

Well, no. But like you said, it IS the name of the platform and it almost always comes up in conversations or descriptions of cars from this era.  I know lots of people that don’t actually refer to these as Mustangs at all, instead simply calling them “Fox bodies.”  Others call them “Fox body Mustangs.”  Much like the…

The Fox body Mustang Cobra always makes me laugh.  Calm down there, Ford.

It’s like that in almost everything these days.  I’m a teacher and the buzzwords in our meetings and professional development sessions are irritating, almost to the point of condescension.

I have never understood the Toronado.  Why FWD, especially when almost EVERYTHING being made was RWD?  It's beautiful, especially the first one.  

Crap...that’s what I meant.

I grew up and still live in Alabama. I’m in my 30s now, but when I was younger I bought in to the very common notion that the American Civil War was a states’ rights battle. I held this belief for far too long, only changing my position when, as a college student, I found and read the Declaration(s) of Causes Seceding.…

I voted NP, but really I consider it NstartingP. I bet the seller would take around or a bit more than $2,000 (as these things usually go). At that price a boosted, manual, turbo car is definitely a steal.

“We are not a damaged brand,” Diaz told Jalopnik in a wide-ranging interview at our New York offices. “We haven’t done anything wrong, we haven’t made any big fiasco mistakes or have any black eyes [...] we just have very poor awareness as a brand.”

BUT IT’S DRAMATIC.

I wasn't ready for this comment.  Take a star.

When confronted, they will say, “Aw, c’mon.  We were just playing.”
