Succinctly, perfectly said. I’d star this more if I could. I feel lowest common denominator laws only make the non LCDs lazy. Like they’re bringing us all down, where more people forgo critical thinking because the laws are there to keep everyone safe and happy.

I like your style, Dude.

“Worst Cars Ever” lists like you referenced are the Cadillac Cimarrons of automotive journalism.

I would love to see someone take this design and make it real. Plenty of conversion kits for the Type IV engine into a Beetle. Super Beetles aren’t so collectible yet, you could pick up a couple to stretch into this design. In all, I feel this is much more intriguing then the “1970 Barracuda 4-door” that’s been…

Does anyone else wish this article provided links to where we could purchase these types of shirts? I don’t mean any offense, Ms. Lee, I appreciate this overview. I just feel there has to be a particular company that makes these that I’m not aware of. With his salary, I doubt these are secondhand. Could anyone help?…

I was about to bring this up. Although I haven’t seen Cars 2 and not familiar with anything that also may prove/disprove this theory, I did want to ask about the cow tractors and the bull combine. Are there cows in the tractors? Do the cows in the tractors eventually get turned into beef-paste to feed the humans…

It’s not just you.

I’m legitimately excited about this. The limo has no interest for me, at least until I start bringing up kids, and I already have an El Camino, but Checkers are kind of like an American Beetle or Trabant in the sense that they designed it once, and only made improvements when they had to, ultimately resulting in a…

Thank you so much for sharing all of this! It seems there are many here who share Jason’s now-realized desire to experience one of these firsthand, so your post is great next to Jason’s article. :)

Hi! May I ask what company you’re considering refinancing with? I actually just started my homework on refi’s last night, so I’m curious to see what companies people are using and why. And if this is personal or the wrong place to ask such a thing, I apologize. :)

“Nine workers inside were unharmed.”

They use their eight foot peen as kind of a pole vaulting stick, and just kind of jump/lean themselves into the truck.

Oleg CaSSini?

I say we Jalops who want one all get together and put in a fleet order for six speeds- maybe buying in bulk, we could get them at a discount?

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Santa, or Satan, or Pingo, if it’s not too early to ask for next year, pleasepleasepleasePLEASE can I have one of these, or at least can someone find the fiberglass molds for this and start repopping them? I’ll be a good boy and not think naughty things (ha!) about $kay’s posts.

Totally unrelated, I love your old-style NISMO avatar. I have an ‘81 210 that’s an off-and-on vintage SCCA project. Trying to source period correct parts for it- collected a decent stash so far, but looking through old catalogs makes me appreciate the effort Nissan/Datsun put into making them competitive when they…

Okay, my bad. :) Long story short, Trabants represent(ed) the poverty of East Germany, and at the time the wall came down, it was a commentary of the extravagance of the West vs. the street-smarts of the East.

Hahaha, okay, I’m sorry; I think Doug DeMuro just put a video out a couple of weeks ago driving one, so I wasn’t sure if you legitimately missed it or if you were being sarcastic because of the recent coverage. :)

Then there’s the old one... an upstart Japanese automaker had planned everything to launch their new car for the United States in less than a week, but they had completely forgotten to give it a name! Panicked, they went to the Germans, begging for their help to name their new car. The Germans asked, “Ja, ve vill help…
