People keep saying that, and yet speeding and street racing is still a problem, why? mainly because A. tracks are too far and in between, B. you can’t just go whenever you want. C. Costs. But what if there was a road that at least solves B and C? Hear me out, a road that has a subscription service of maybe 10, 20$/mo…

A moose bit my sister once.

Grand Wagoneer. It’s hard to make a black car look bad, but the chromed windows are just Ew

The most recent Acura NSX. I remember seeing it at the Detroit Auto Show and thinking, even then, that it was so underwhelming and looked like it was a a design experiment from years prior that they brought just to fill floor space.

The 2022 Toyota Sienna

The current VW Jetta, it looks fine, the perfect generic car, but that means it looks like it is a few generations old already.

The interior of the new Mustang is awful. I say this as a Mustang afficianado who has put 86,000 miles on my 2015 GT.

Aside from “every car in Chrysler and Dodge’s lineup,” did you know that Chevy still makes the Malibu? You do now:

(Let me preface this with when I see the real steel, maybe it’s a different impression. I thought the Jeep Cherokee “spider eye” headlights from a decade ago were an abomination. Once I saw the actual vehicle, I had to do a 180—they looked great.)

The Hummer EV. Doesn’t look much different than an H2 with a grill full of lights. And the whole interior just looks like a slapped together after thought. Two screens stuck on a very boring, very unimaginative conglomeration of rectangles. It’s like entire vehicle was designed by some CEO’s 7 year old, and then they…

Cheap response but the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the design platform and powertrains are ancient the tech is ancient and it’s still sold new 

I think ‘expected to survive’ is a very generous assessment when the title should probably be:

Came here to say that. I can do my own maintenance but I have 0 experience restoring stuff. So I bought a karmann ghia. It’s going great. Parts are plenty. Everything is about as simple as it could be, and something about old VWs are so much fun. I never thought 25 horses could put such a smile on my face.

Triumph TR6. Not expensive to buy, not complicated to work on, enormous aftermarket/parts availability. Prices have gone up, but a very solid candidate for restoration is maybe $15-18k, leaving lots of cash to replace every damn things that looks suspect.

The headlight/turn signal is dumb and the hood vents are ugly.

Pardon me good sir, but this is a donkey.

It’s grip tape for more grip. You know, for when you don’t want to wear gloves but your hands get sweaty. The seats are ‘ripped’ to allow for the use of a 5 point harness. This car was likely both a DD and driven to track days and back.

The grip tape is everything...respect.

Thanks guys! These are all going in my Autotrader saved searches. I’ll post an update once I pull the trigger on something.

Individual comments will get “approved” when they are starred or replied to by someone who is “out of the grays”.  To get “out of the grays” yourself... there is no magical formula.  Just keep posting worthwhile comments.  It’s tough to get noticed for valuable contributions when you are stuck in the grays, but every…
