Quattro, Evo, Jensen FF....are all significant players in the AWD game, but the Model T...the small-block Chevy....the Beetle of AWD has to be the WRX. I bought one, you bought one, because for the first time we could afford the package.

My first impression was positive. this is a sweet looking vehicle - on the outside. But that screen is among the ugliest interior features I’ve ever seen, and would send me running from a dealer’s lot in shock if I hadn’t seen it here first. No dice at any price.

this is the first time I’ve ever wanted a Solara

I bought a (red) 1992 SE-R new, and parked it alongside my (red) 1972 BMW 2002. Despite driving wheels at opposite ends of the chassis, they were about as close in performance and character as any two cars I’ve known.

we had our chance with a beautiful Buick

Legend has it that the Grateful Dead’s sound system was designed and constructed by Augustus Owsley Stanley III, who was concurrently producing enough LSD to enlighten all of the west coast and even nine people in Idaho...

so what’s it cost to use their rails and sidings if you bring your own train? Maybe I’m wrong, but shouldn’t any old Duramax be able to handle the load of a single luxo cab railcar?

...and coughing up a few fragments of lung tissue while they exchange insurance info, photograph the damage and berate the other driver for following too close...

Anyone reading this who hasn’t got $59 million to spend (there must be a few beside me) has speculated on how they would spend that much if they stumbled into a lotto fortune, and I’d bet that every single one of them would rather have some ‘cheap’ $2 million real estate filled with $59 million spent on cars and a Jay…

I drove a Suzuki Samurai from Cape Cod to Kitty Hawk. That was a truck ride.

Walker it was had it this way modified. 

I’ve done basemapping myself and tried in vain to have clerks input data that’s geocodable, but always tell people that maps are like laws and sausage....if you appreciate either, you don’t want to watch them being made

duh....everyone knows that tuesday cars had weak throttle demodulator springs and friday cars-especially those built in june- were famous for premature wear of the nern dampeners

Stay? Beautiful, engaging, even exotic at times, but I don’t know that they ever have been relevant.

...and vent windows that let me flick my ashes and embers into the next lane or onto a shoulder filled with burger-wrap kindling instead of my back seat...

No Altima hate, but no love either....just a vague memory of an appliance.
