There must be dozens of you! DOZENS!

While necessary thanks to both inattentive drivers and walkers - pedestrian safety standards really ruin the noses of modern cars. There’s about a foot and a half too much front overhang there.

Dear Subaru,

In fairness, a 3 looks like an E upside down, so maybe he thought he was shifting into “E” gear. Holy geez, a thousand face-palms. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

And homeboy didn’t think to familiarize himself with the actual shift pattern with the motor off first? Just went ahead and dove in and spent a few minutes turning the synchros to dust?? Because of how the pattern on the top of the knob looked???

The loooooooong-throw shifter advertised a very strange shift pattern, with first where third would be, second somewhere near first, and third somewhere near fourth. Fourth’s location was a mystery. I spent the first few minutes of the drive hunting for relevant gears until I realized the shift knob itself was

There’s an Amazon in the 2011 U.S. remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Unfortunately, it only made it into a few shots near the end.

This car is about 6 to 8 inches wider than your average car which makes it very easy to handle around the terns.

Second gen Acura RL. It was dismissed because of its bland styling and driving dynamics that couldn’t match the Germans. And it wasn’t particularly spacious inside for a flagship sedan.

The Kizashi actually sold pretty well up in my neck of the woods.  They were pretty aggressive with their marketing campaign, airing the commercial with the sled dogs on heavy rotation.  I still see quite a few of them on the road, and they’re nice-looking sedans!  

Saab 9-2x Aero aka Saabaru. better looking, more upscale WRX with some STI parts, what’s not to love? One of my favorite cars I ever owned. I miss Saab. It’s a real Saab story. 

I feel like a broken record saying this on so many QOTD posts, but the MR2 Spyder. It didn’t sell well because it was a huge change from the previous generation and didn’t have much available storage. It out performed the Miata for less money. It was a 2,195lbs, mid-engine, rear wheel drive sports car in the low

Yes you will, deservedly.

is like preferring Coke versus Pepsi.
