Every line out of David Warner's mouth in Time Bandits was comedy gold!

I am still waiting for a release date on the Mazda 6 Skyactiv diesel...

This is indeed an odd duck, and definitely not for me, but I am going to vote nice price because this class of mini-truck (Brat, the Rabbit Pickup, et-al) from the early 80's are ripe for a nostalgia driven comeback. The addition of a Shelby kissed motor makes this just weird enough to justify the asking price.

I haven't seen a Subaru XT on the road in years... They always used to stand out because they were so "distinctive" looking...

You could option the Iron Duke 2.5 liter 4 cylinder in the Chevrolet Astro Van from 1985-1990

If we are including European airports in this discussion for me it is Rome (FCO) or Frankfurt (FRA). I am willing to give Frankfurt a bit of a pass because of the sheer volume of flights that pass in and out of there, but does that mean it has to be so ugly and depressing? Rome on the other hand is an absolute…

This, this a thousand times this! I have never had a successful (on time no delays) flight out of O'Hare.

I would like to respectfully request you do a profile on the Bertone Ramarro from the early 80's. It was on the cover of the first car magazine I ever purchased, and I bought it because the car was so striking.

The Mazda 5 mini-minivan is an impressive use of space. I can also attest to the Ford Flex's versatility for road trips because of the packaging. 3 adults 2 kids and their luggage on a week long family vacation is no problem for the Flex with no complaints even from the 3rd row.

My wife's car has this string of buttons on the B Pillar by the front door. We have never pushed those buttons ever.

I would agree with you except for the fact there is a paper mill in an industrial part of our town and I have found when I drive by this mill the smell is less intrusive when I change the air setting to "Recirc"

I remember those! they were very early 90's. The last two cars we have owned (Fords) had the 6 disc changer built into the dashboard head unit.

The Six Disc CD Changer is a completely useless feature in a modern car. In addition to the aforementioned CD changer, and AM/FM radio, the head unit in my wife's car has bluetooth audio, USB audio, satellite radio, and a line-in jack. My wife loaded 3 or 4 CD's into the changer when she bought the car. They came out…

Alitalia is certainly the least helpful airline I have ever encountered. They lost our luggage on a short flight from Catania Sicily to Rome. All the passengers' luggage was put on the wrong plane, so everyone was sitting at the baggage claim carousel waiting for our luggage to come up and they didn't bother to inform…

I took Air Rossiya from Milan Italy to Saint Petersburg once. The flight was barely a third full, it was a fairly new Airbus A320. I had an entire row by myself. The neat thing was they served an entire meal with beer and wine on real china with real metal utensils in the economy class! The big surprise was the food…

I flew Aeroflot from Saint Petersburg to Moscow in 2008. It was one of the more interesting flights I have ever been on. The plane was a Cold War Soviet copy of the old Lockheed L-1011. It was ancient, but the bonus was the seats were positively huge by the stingy standards of today's airliners. They boarded the…

My wife has a colleague who bought two Chrysler PT Cruisers simultaneously for their family because the dealer, "gave them a much better price if they agreed to buy two."

Thanks for the link. It is definitely clean and straight, but that custom steering wheel is hideous, and the BBS wheels while nice don't look as good as the factory wheels that came with this car in my opinion. Also don't get me started on the neon blue door inserts.

I couldn't agree more. adding all that crap defeats the original intent of the car.

The 500E is an amazing and historically important car which will surely appreciate in value. I have no doubt that these cars will eventually command prices well above $50k, but not one that has been tweaked like this. Find an unmolested one that looks like it just left the dealership in the early 90's and you have a…
