Lol, you're right, I have often said I would definitely drive something else if I lived in an area that only had seasons of "hot" and "less hot". Maybe a Mazda.

Fun fact about the Taurus, the standard AND the optional engine were both 3 liter V6's. The 24v had 200hp, but the "Vulcan" was known for its reliability. When my daughter was born, we were given a Sable with the Vulcan and it broke down once a month, minimum.

I don't live in northern Alaska either, but spend a winter with a Subaru (ANY Subaru) and you'll become intoxicated with the Superman-feeling you get in inclement weather. There's a reason that every winter rally I go to is comprised of 50%+ Subarus and exactly zero Mustangs and Camaros. Ponycars have their purpose,…

#10, a thousand times yes! My wife drives an Impreza, and I have a WRX, and they both are unapologetic in their dutiful service.

One word: winter.

I was thinking about this the other day, because it seems like mid to late 90's Grand Am's are starting to disappear, despite being the unofficial car of my hometown of West Bend, WI. My current city's car? Whatever's cheap.

My family, for some reason, had an extreme loyalty to GM's worst cars in the 1970's. My parents and their siblings all owned a variety of Vega's, as well as Nova's and Z/28's made past their prime. My uncle recently purchased a semi-restored Vega with a V-8 swap.

On the one hand, it's good to give the WRX some competition. On the other hand, the Dart that Jalopnik reviewed was $24,685. And it was a Rallye, which was a step below the GT. If the SRT Dart wants to be a legitimate competitor, it's going to have a tough time beating the WRX's $26,295 starting price. No one…

You, Mr. Torchinsky, and your associate, Mr. Orlove, are certainly already more aware of this fact than most. The fact that a VW Beetle in any iteration can be considered a "dream car" is a notion that would have been laughable in the model's heyday. And yet today we live in a world where there is nothing on the…

The only time I ever heard it with the other word was in Pulp Fiction.

Shame on you for including the Forester. That generation replaced the previous one with vastly improved dimensions, driving dynamics, and accessories, all with a lower MSRP. I thought that jalops were better than hating on a vehicle for superficial reasons like dash materials and the fact that the drivetrain was…

Ford brought back the Taurus nameplate, and then resurrected the SHO trim (even if they forgot that it's S-H-O and not "show"). Rest assured, if they see a demand, they will resurrect the SVO and then charge you too much for it.

Of course, but they were late to the party. Not realizing, of course, that a 4-cylinder ponycar party is no party at all.

Because most of them are up on cement blocks, obviously.

"Camaro doesn't even offer a 4-cylinder engine!" I don't think I've ever heard so much fail packed into one sentence.

'Tis true. It's interesting how they were able to emulate each other on their various instruments. There's another song - And Your Bird Can Sing (I believe?) - where it sounds like a signature Paul bass line, but it's actually George playing.

I saw a '63 split-window in the Corvette Corral at Road America this past summer. Funny that the convertible version ended up being less collectable.

Love this song. Probably the first song that got me into the Beatles as a wee lad, and one of the first songs I learned on the bass. And that guitar solo is disgusting. Looks like I'll be listening to Revolver today!

One I encountered recently: The Gotta Scrape Frost Off My Windshield in the Middle of the Eastbound Lane at Dawn Guy.

I also kind of wish there were more, like, cars. I mean there's a lot that aren't represented here; no Mustang GT, WRX, Mini Cooper, Delorean, etc. And it would be nice if they actually lined up on the bottom with their prices.
