As a former Crown Colony, the chaps in India that now own Land Rover know how to outfit a truly sporting machine, good for the Tiger Hunt in the bush. This takes the place of using Elephants when tracking the wild beast, and when the hunt is over, a good platform to breakout the Sapphire Gin.

A great interior does not makeup for the hideous exterior. This think was monumentally awful when revealed at the NYIAS this year, and it's still awful.

Ben, you couldn't have found a more appropriate picture. Yogurt Trucks? I'm never going to look at a dairy isle at my local Stop & Shop the same way again.

This!

I'm going through the list right now.... some of the highlights (besides the cars already mentioned here) include:

I thought I would just bump this thread to bring to light a comment that our Mr. Paul Jones. It was probably a divorce settlement, in which the vengeful wife received the car in a settlement, and had absolutely no intention on keeping it, and couldn't be bothered with selling it. So, in spite, she traded it on a…

@pauljones: This is the most logical choice by far. The EX (either the Husband or the Wife, but most likely the Wife) took possession of the Car, be it the Excalibur, The Bentley, or the Aston, and just traded it in on a Hyundai.

I've driven a Metropolitan. It's a little different, and there is surprisingly a lot of room once you get into it. The Three on the Tree takes some getting used to, and the acceleration was, at best, leisurely. At this price, it should be all original (this one is not), or fully restored to better than new condition.

There is an Airshow near Buffalo, New York that you really can't miss if you're in the area. It is the 1941 Airshow, held in Geneseo, NY. The Museum there used to fly one of these magnificent Catalinas, along with a number of other types.

@dculberson: Besides, I need to see the progress you're doing on the Ambulette...

@dculberson: You know DC, I'm still recovering from being axed right when I was running New England. I should just show up, and cover it for this blog or another one.

I love Jalopnik and all, but you guys still don't get why you see these cars in the wrecking yard do you? To the everyday, average American Consumer, what the economy within this country is built on by the way, couldn't turn a wrench to save their lives.

@MrHowser: I think he's the one who said he loves Jalopnik, except for the weekends. As many on here know, sometimes the weekends are the best part of Jalopnik.

One word comes to mind: Vapid!

@HoonThatFerrari: Well,I'm in the Northeast.... Perhaps you saw that I was able to form a team from all over for the New England Lemons event, with drivers from Ohio, Cali, and the New York Metro Area, wiht a mechanic from Long Island, and a car from Vermont (The infamous 63 Corvair)... so it could be done.

@mechimike: Just make sure you drag your ass up to New England Next year.

@HoonThatFerrari: I think there's a theme right there. !/2 from a guy with a screen name of 62ImperialCrown (Now that would make a great LeMons Car right there!), and 1/2 from a guy with a screen name of HoonThatFerrari (A car that will never be cheap enough to run in a LeMons event EVER).

@AlienProbe: Do you realize what it's like to see your car these days? If you live anywhere within 20 miles of an Urban area, it's a virtual nightmare.

I just noticed the New York Plate on one of these cars. Must be in Westchester County, where the idle rich play with their expensive cars, lounge around in their 80 Room Garrison Colonial, and jet around in the company provided private plane, while the people under their feet toil enough so that these pompous,…

@tonyola: If Air America is bitter, strident, and snippy, what the hell would you call people of the other side (the ultra right wing talking heads like Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingram, and Beck)?
