Just checked, a 1LE is $37,550. 426hp/420tq. Track focused package, although admittedly not as balls out as the Z/28.

The Acura ILX

CROSSCABRIOLETMOTHERFUCKERS!

$75 grand? Nope.

$75K for a track camaro? um, Z51 1LT Vette. done. save $20K

Pretty sure you forgot THE MOST anticipated car of 2014.

How to make a Jalopnik wish list.

It's a Trailblazer, a bit of a turd to begin with. It's a lot of WAT for me and CP.

What the book and movie do share however is a main character named Stroker Ace, and while outside of car culture that name may sound like that of a porn star who specializes in a particular and solitary fetish, we all know that a stroker is an engine that has been embiggened through the application of longer…

Didn't Click and Clack on NPR's "Car Talk" once postulate the law of diminishing disasters which states, "If you own a French car, nothing else really bad will ever happen to you."?

That's horrible advice. Unnecessary car and food expenditures are the two biggest factors that keep people in a lower socioeconomic bracket. Spending $3,000 on a burned-out car when all you have is $3,000 to your name is one of the worst things you can do.

The want is overwhelmingly strong with this. It reminds me of my '91 Tercel in many ways, only it's better. The way he describes how the engine starts in less than one revolution is exactly how my old Tercel worked. Didn't matter if it was freeze-your-nads-off cold, or hotter than the blazes of hell.

blanked buttons? HAH! that's for middle class, the TRULY budget minded get blanked out gauges. No, not a gauge cluster designed without a tach (honda do this all the time), that's middle class nonsense too, this is straight up blanked out tachometre. such as found in the (often FWD) "Brighton" class of Subaru's…

Nice chrome wheel, right? What if I told you that it's actually an unfinished alloy with a PLASTIC COVER glued to it? That's how a lot of GM and Dodges leave the factory these days. You can see that the lip looks different, because it's the actual wheel.

They shatter when they get curbed, or when a tire installer…

Drum brakes on the new Jetta. *Gasp*

Okay so at $20k-$23k the Golf isn't exactly a cheap car...but the 2.5L base model is ONLY available with steel wheels. That's right. $23k dollars for steel wheels. You can't even spec alloys...OR a manual transmission. This is in 2013 when every college student's new $15,000 Kia comes with bitchin' alloys.
