@lilwillie: Thank you for clearing that up, the voices in my head hadn't woken up yet.

This is terrible, but excuse me for asking why this is on Jalopnik? Are we going to cover everyone that gets killed by a car today? There is perhaps a cruel irony of being hit by a Disney bus, yes, but that's kind of a twisted reason for making it onto Jalopnik.

@KMFDM781: oh, don't get me wrong, I love them and I'm applauding him for having so many of them. The photo he had just brought back a flood of memories. Good, simple, fun, cheap, shockingly fast cars. I applaud you for having had a stable of them too, they are kind of what we'd all build in our backyards if we had…

@Mr. Scroggs: ahh, I saw those wheels and the little white writing on the side and gasped, "No! Not the TURBO!!!!!!! It was Awesommmmee!!!"

@buzz killington: I'm sorry for your loss but you have no idea how nice it is to see the reality of those situations. When I was in my late-20's I was fortunate enough to not have student loan payments but I was living just north of NYC scraping by on $5ok (bargain rent of $900 +utils). I'd see some guy my age or…

@Mr. Scroggs: wait a minute, how could the DOHC Turbo Colt be your most foolish automotive escapade? I had the previous generation Mirage Turbo (an '86) that I loved dearly and I lusted after the '89 DOHC but they were impossible to find. What could possibly have gone wrong?

smash-and-grab-thieves Rejoice!

@mytdawg: I should've <3 clicked you ages ago but being crazy enough to go through 3 Shelby turbo products seals the deal. I admire your spirit (you should get one of those too just to complete the experience).

@layabout: yeah, it's funny that they state, "the four-door form factor that once defined the model"... uh really? The reason I love the WRX STI over others it that I always associate it with the wagon versions.

@patman: I think we'd need an old airplane hangar so we could accumulate the proper amount of donor and receiver vehicles and still have room for multiple kegerators. The remote location of any airplane hangar (or old barn) would also keep the whole project a secret from prying eyes who would want to peek in at the…

@Ash78 is a joke in your town: it was, after all, a Honda.

I have no affection for this ride at this price but I can't read "Panther Chassis" without starting to daydream about how awesome this car could be with a whole '03 Marauder drivetrain & suspension in it... mmmm now that would be a really smurfy ride.

@brickyard: or maybe you could convince them to import the Euro Honda grille and have it as a dealer installed option...

@Tier 5 royal, the Manic King: ahhhh, that makes more sense. I kept looking at this wagon, scratching my head, saying, "htf did they fit four wheels & tires in the back of that wagon with the seats up?" Your version definitely has room for more junk in the trunk.

@F1Outsider: You might be right. I had interpreted their system to be more literally integrated into their flywheel but I may be completely confused and misremembering the whole thing. Unfortunately, industrial secrecy and patent law being what it is I don't think we'll ever know.

#offtopic planelopnik-Speaking of ridiculous media behavior, has anyone else seen the ABC news recreation of the planes "nearly colliding" over San Francisco? They state that the planes were nearly 300 ft apart vertically but in the computerized recreation the Cessna is as close as the top of the tip of the tail of…

@SlowMo: here's an excerpt: "... in 1986, the national networks aired spectacular footage of a pit bull attacking an animal-control officer. Suddenly, pit bulls had their incisors in the national consciousness.

I'm not one to normally give the Philadelphia Inquirer much credit but there was a really good op-ed piece in it this morning comparing the hysteria around Toyotas to the hysteria around Pit Bulls (full disclosure, I have 2 non-recalled toyotas and a very sweet pit bull). Basically the point of the piece is that once…

@FordTuffMcgruff: And this is why I love Jalopnik, you learn something new everyday. I had a friend in high school with a late 70's full size Dodge van (nicknamed 'Spike') and it never even occured to me that it could have been anything other than a body on frame. I was speaking stricktly from an aesthetic…

@Charlie_Speed: I'm afraid foreigners like yourself may give the American populace too much credit. I don't know the full numbers but there are a disturbingly large number of Glenn Beck followers, even my sister is one of them. The most upsetting thing about it is that many of these people have become seemingly…
