Subtle and sleek doesn’t match the Corvette brand. Like Lamborghini, it’s always been more flamboyant with style. That has its place in the automotive design world side-by-side with subtle and sleek. Different buyers trying to evoke something different about their own personalities.

When you compare a $60k Corvette to a $200k+ Ferrari, the Corvette already wins.

This is peak Chris Farley.

T-tops too. That’s peak Fiero right there.

“Ruthless cost cutter”?

We could all plainly see what it was going to be when we folded it but we still loved it!

I remember this ad! It’s probably hard to imagine now but I was a kid and was very proud of the Corvette for being a “world beater” for the USA. We had the Corvette, the Space Shuttle, and... well Van Halen. All of these fed a pride in the country that was also stoked by politicians of the time. If that sounds (whateve…

Hi, Im from the 80s. Back then we always put apostrophes in the folds. Thats just how we did it then.

It looks like it’s all business to me. No frill, so cool in that way. That’s what I like about it. Form follows function.

There’s a great video of him with this car at a show, explaining it to a journalist. It may have been featured on here before.

Wait, that’s a Buick??

Standard issue on the Focus ST! That was my favorite surprise when I bought mine 5 years ago.

I’ll be damned, you’re right! Sounds like reviews still don’t rate it as good as the new Mazda at this point...with the twist beams.

That’s a great review of both the GTI and the Si. By your philosophy I should get a GTI. But I’ll probably try both. Thanks!

Or the WRX/STi/GTI. Not really decided yet. Do you have one?

All true but I have to admit, the write-ups I’ve seen on the loss of responsiveness from the “Corolla-ing” of the rear suspension makes me want to take a look at a Civic Si next. Honda is a blue chip name that you can count on resale value from (at least I think you can). I love Mazda but it sounds like they left out a…

Listen, people are awkward. Jokes are a way to lighten the mood. I know people who tell stale old jokes and I’m ok with that. It’s a way to ease the tension. The fact that they’re trying is what you should concentrate on, not how imaginative and clever their joke was. Give people a break. We’re all trying.

A school bus like this one. Back in the day my mom was a school bus driver and also pretty cool. I was dressed for Halloween with a wig and makeup (sort of like Kiss? But not quite) and we saw it as an opportunity to let me drive with little risk of getting caught. She even let me back it in between two other buses at…

This is what they use to dispose of all the other dump trucks I guess.

But what good are coke and hookers without a van that has a foldaway bed?
