The equivalent in Europe was always the GTD wagon, with the hottest version of the TDI and the GTIs looks and suspension. Which makes perfect sense over there. Not really *that* much slower, far more economical. If you really had a need for speed, you were going to buy the R anyway.

Right. Because Germany is want for long, straight, fast roads. 🙄

I still find it a bit depressing that there are auto enthusiasts who think this way, at all. I’d thought the multifaceted weirdnesses of Jalopnik—the Radwood specials, the NPCP polls, the design foci, the apparent appreciation—meant people’d evolved out of the whole “if it’s not hard, fast, and loud, it’s for the…

being a gearhead manifests itself differently for everyone, but for myself and several of my friends it all started with being able to identify every single last vehicle on the road by heart as a kid. this type of mis-badging would have driven seven-year-old me bonkers.

Just because it isn’t traditionally lust worthy doesn’t mean it can’t be enthusiast fodder. There are more than a few people that would love nothing more than to buy a small 2 seat convertible but because they have a life and other people to consider, wind up in crossovers and SUVs.

This is such an absurdly nice price, I guess its a case of KBB still having not caught up to the concept of Radwood.

NP all day! 

Oh, yeah, absolutely nice price. $2000 is absolutely fuck it money, and this would make a waaaaay better grocery getter than any modern crossover.

Yeah, this is firmly in the “why the hell not” category. I’m a sucker for blue interiors and I’m not going to say this looks good, but it’s not clapped out or anything. I know most of you love your kids to much to make this a first car due to lack of safety equipment but I wouldn’t have any issues giving this to my…

Will it get me a hot internet girlfriend who will dance around in the middle of the street and save a parking spot for me?

I’ve been obsessing about 1990/91 Renault Clios with the pre-92 logo and intact rear windshield wiper, a feature from original Clios that no longer looks that special but back in 1990 it looked incredibly futuristic, much thicker than usual. I used to call it “robot arm”. The plastic cap covering the bolt is a very…

And all those eager buyers got their sex toys, even if a bit late.

Here is Bradley Brownell’s next blog:

He’s 23. And assaulted a 13-year old. And his father joined in. They expected to walk scot-free because Daddy Dearest owns the track and pays for Dipshit Junior.

Exactly. Plus these people get to do LITERALLY THE MOST FUN THING I CAN POSSIBLY THINK OF DOING.

Sorry Bradley, you got this 100% wrong. While the good ol’ USA may condone that kind of behavior in sports, I’m glad the rest of the world doesn’t. Racing is dangerous and there is absolutely no room for that kind of temper and violence. No matter how pissed off you are, you can’t throw shit at a moving race vehicle…

Imagine what would happen if you flew into a big piece of plastic at 20+ mph.

15 years is not “a little harsh”

Of all your bad takes, and you issue a good number of them, this is definitely one of the worst.

NASCAR literally encourages shit like this.

I had an 83 hatch. Sweet little rustbucket. $700 and it took a hell of a beating until I finally sent it to the scrapyard.
