5th: HA! I take it no one in the office has had to live through a -14 degree fahrenheit day.

Anybody else getting the feeling like they took the Scion tC and stretched it?

Looking to replace my boat of a car (95 Olds 98 [it has spoiled me rotten with its cushy seats]), I've been looking around on Craigslist and even looked into local dealerships and found a sweet Mazda 5. But there are a few constraints.

As awesome as British Racing Green is (in all of its shades), you gotta admit the boys from Auburn Hills do green right.

For those of you wondering what a nondescript military truck is doing in this, let me give you a hint that it is a "Raider"

I remember this car well. While Herbie got me started in the whole gearhead thing, the Defender pretty much sealed the deal.

I think it has more to do with not having enough money to pursue these sub-niches. That being said, those sub-niches from the German manufacturers aren't exactly flying out the door, so I think GM is smart to stay out of that hot mess and make what we all really want: station wagons with stupidly powerful V8s.

The Dodge Neon SRT-4. Even today when it's been well established how many asses it can kick and names it can take, you still get that same response, "A NEON?!"

I'll take the Paseo for it's running cost. Believe it or not, I think the Geo might be more expensive to insure cause it only has two seats.

After watching this, I now have a hard decision to make fellow Jalops. Should I get a PT Cruiser or a Mazda 5?

Hey, any excuse to get me out of the house and into the world. ROAD TRIP!

I'm sure there are other cases when artists portray Luigi as a badass, I just can't think of any right now.

Looks like these cars also have the same Fast and Furious gearbox.

Looks like someone's been watching Top Gear US.

But will it baby?

Kickstarter. Now.

You sure this isn't a rejected airplane design for the Italian Air Force?

...

You know, we used to have a name for these. Station wagon. Please start calling them by there proper name automakers.

I'm reminded of a line from "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel": "There's a saying in India: there's always room for one more."
