My dad told me that these and Yugos were always the most likely cars to not have floors. Whenever he’d be riding in one with his friends, they’d have to put their feet up and just hope that the seat doesn’t fall out next. That said, I’ve always wanted to build a hot rod out of one.

From a styling perspective, I think that this looks pretty good except for the front end, which has all the right elements and all the wrong proportions. The hood needs to be a couple inches longer, the grille needs to be a couple inches shorter, and the angle of the front end makes it look like it has a massive,…

The first car that came to my mind when confronted with those requirements is a Volvo 850 wagon. From what I’ve heard, they’re reliable enough to put Hondas to shame, they can be had with AWD, and since it’s a wagon, it should have no problem hauling all your stuff. Also, they sell for so incredibly below $20,000 that…

I am now imagining a Shelby GT500 owner mocking a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ for having 1 less horsepower.

I never knew him, but now I wish I did.

I saw an episode of My Classic Car where they drove an S600 that belonged to Jay Leno, and the part that stood out the most to me was just the glorious noises it made. It sounded like a tiny Hemi V8 when idling and a formula 1 car when revving away. I’ve always wanted one simply for the noise.

Even better than the A100 is the Ford Econoline. Why is it better, you ask? Well, not only is it cute, but (from what I’ve heard, anyways), when you get going fast enough and then stomp on the brakes, the rear tires lift off the ground! So it can do reverse wheelies! How fun is that? 

It looks like a buff pug. I like it.

I am terribly sorry, but I can’t help but love the styling I’m seeing in these teaser photos. My inner child likes the ridiculousness and the muscular styling. I can’t help it, but I like this thing. I’d never buy one, but I’m glad it exists.

When I was four and obsessed with anything that had wheels and a motor, I thought it was so unfair that I wasn’t allowed to drive. I am so glad that I never heard a story like this back then, as I totally would’ve been like “Well, there’s all the proof that I need!”

I am so jealous of your dad. The want is strong.

THE SHO MUST GO ON.

Thanks for this. I don’t often laugh at stuff I see on the internet, but that’s hilarious. 

I would agree with you, but you’ve got your signs backwards. It looks like you are saying that a complex airplane is far easier to work on than a motorcycle.

Here, I recommend a Corvair. Corvairs are fun. Corvairs are interesting. Corvairs are affordable. Corvairs are plenty safe. Corvairs shouldn’t bankrupt you with ridiculous maintenance costs. You are getting very sleepy. You must all buy Corvairs...

This story about a Fisker made me want a Citroen.

Puh-leeze, everyone knows that French cars run on fine wines and perfume.

I’m loving the Porsche-Mazda styling and the uniqueness, but even though it’s undeniably cool, it’s not $40k cool. 

Well, it’s the postal service’s own dang fault for making it so freaking hard to obtain a retired LLV!! The LLV is a vehicle that many of us have always wanted to drive/mod, despite it being terrible, for perfectly rational reasons that will come to me eventually. This man was just desperate to drive the forbidden…

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but were they originally made with Mazda transmissions? These recreations are seriously cool either way, but it seems to me that it would be weird if Ford originally used Mazda transmissions.
