Upon seeing the title of the article:

I'm thinking about a Subaru, only because it's the only brand with a car that meets my wishes, under $45k.

I want to put one of those in my Mini, so badly.

For the the 1980s, it has the be the Chevy Cavalier

Supposedly you can. The company Jarco Inc. specializes in the front clip business. And supposedly people get S15 clips from them. Like I said, I never got a full explanation why it happened

Back in the day, I had a buddy that specialized in importing S13 and S14 front clips. Then, as we were debating on whether or not to put a turbo'd 3S-GTE MR2 motor in the backseat of my car, he got a call that an S15 front clip with the Black Top R spec motor was available. And we went into planning mode for 3…

I can keep up with just about any modern car under 150hp, so I'd say that's just fine. Faster than a non-Si Civic. As quick as a E46 323. Fine doesn't mean great when it comes to speed differential. But definitely good enough to have a fun time.

For those of you who cannot understand Steven's question due to his British accent, allow me to sum it up: he's asking why we, as Americans, refuse to drive tiny little cars with 37-horsepower 1.3-liter diesels like they have in Europe.

I personally miss the Corrado's forgotten cousin. The BMW 318ti. As much as it was the bottom rung of all things BMW, I liked the idea of having great handling, RWD, and the ability to cheaply turbo a BMW in a super compact package. But, alas, it's still a BMW, and is too hard to come by in decent shape.

You know it's awkward, when even my varnished, peaty man-love for Nick Offerman can't get me to love your sport...

Though, you have to admit: Classic Minis do look pretty awesome as speedsters.

The world will revolt and tear apart every BMW board member into smithereens, if that happened.

And so that's why, after much consideration, and debate, and discussion, I've decided to buy two cars.

Looks like you did the exact same thing I did.

You're fucking kidding me right? If this list was, "Ten City Cars that Make Great Track Cars" or "Ten Surprisingly Good Track Cars", sure. But the Mini was never crap.

I still haven't met an E39 540 I didn't like. I've also never met a reliable E39 540.

I moved out of my old apartment using nothing but an R50 MINI Cooper. I'd say that's pretty damn practical. Only took four trips with two couches, a bed, 37" tube TV, desk, etc. And that was the smallest of the BMW MINI Coopers.

61-70% Not bad. Better than expected. '71 Mini Cooper.

The best and last 100 feet of your life.

That's the video that made me want it so much. Just look at those doors, that safety and that steel roof!
