That rumor about the Jimny can’t be true: 20 years ago everyone was saying the Mazda MX5/Miata NA were solely owned by hairdressers!

I would choose the Infiniti G35 at the bottom left. Decent car to own, has a sunroof to let all the air out whenever someone smokes, rwd so driving through the mall shouldn’t be a problem either.

What gadgets are you talking about? No gadgets to be found in here!

Everyone knows fuel is influenced by magnetism and Gold isn’t a magnetic metal. So to prevent the Earth’s magnetic field interfering with Mercedes high tech, the fuel injection has been crafted out of solid gold!

I agree a full 100%, and not only because I actually have a soft spot for Mitsuoka cars. They are ugly and age terribly, but at least they were well designed. This Firebird just looks like it received a few nose jobs too many!

In Europe we had many cars with column shifters. My dad used to own a Peugeot 304 (workhorse) and 504. Both were column shifters and old cars by the mid 1980s and he replaced them with a single Toyota Carina wagon that would serve both purposes. Whenever my dad’s Carina was broken again (which was often) he would rent

I think I have this photo somewhere in an early 1980s Nissan utilitarian vehicles brochure. I remember back then asking myself what the idea was behind that photo... It’s a really strange photo as it could imply a few things:
1. They try to unload the 747's cargo into this way too small van, so bad marketing by Nissan
2.

Nissan (Autech) Stagea RS260. Looks like a naughties family wagon on nice alloy wheels and some wannabe aero.

The Daf 66 1300 Marathon Sport distinguished itself from lesser models with its quad headlights. It has a whopping 7hp bump over the other models going from 53hp to 60hp. Given the fact that this car has a CVT the 0-100 km/h performance improved with 19.8 seconds to 15.2...

Yes indeed it isn’t consistent. Sometimes it misses a beat and also when I drive faster it slightly increases the speed of the chime. I used to have a video online about going 170 on the autobahn and there it was quite apparent, but I took it offline due to some concerns by my, back then, employer...

Exactly. It’s a love-hate relationship. And from factory you can't switch it off or on... 😓

A Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin sold by De Cock! 🤣

When my wife was pregnant it became rapidly apparent that a lowered AE86 was not the most comfortable car. I tried stock springs, adding rear seatbelts but nothing convinced her. I found a mint white 1982 for door Toyota Carina for sale. As we were expecting a baby we had to save money and I sold the AE86. Here’s the

AE86 twice as expressive as a S13? Sounds like prices from 2019. By now it should be already four times as expensive! 😆

While standing next to my clearly visibly badged Toyota Carina: “what model Volvo is that?” 😲

Actually it's the backyard track of Prince Bernhard, cousin of the Dutch king...🤣

Paul Verhoeven’s movie The Fourth Man kind of ruined the 504 for me. In that movie Jeroen Krabbe and Tom Hoffmann drove a brand new one to smithereens.

The triple S was meant to put the emphasis the IRS on ‘Dat Violet’s ass!

The whole story sounds like a rerun of the final episode of the Capeta anime. So I searched for a nice Capeta picture to go along with my comment and then I ran into this:
