Beautiful! My brother had a Mark 2 16v, and has regretted selling it ever since he did.

That is a great story. I wish my dad didn't go through cars so fast; I came home in a Ford LTD and gladly would have called that my first car. I brought my daughter home in a WRX wagon, and I plan to teach her to drive on it some day :)

You might be my hero.

When I was learning to drive, these (and the Chevy Celebrity/Pontiac 6000LE) were so cheap and plentiful that it was almost hard NOT to end up with one. Now that they are dying off and you don't see them as often, I find something strangely appealing about them.

Ridiculous. Even in their worst hour, they had too much hubris to care about the PR side of their failures. When bad stuff happens, the people at the bottom get hurt first and it works its way up. Makes you wonder just how bad the hurt has to be for it to be felt at the top.

That does not change my sentiment in the slightest.

Eric Clapton should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell.

That is adorable.

I love weird things like this, things that never should have happened. But these are scraping bottom for the Shelby name. During the time that these were produced, he had almost no involvement in their development. He was given a timetable of how long he had left to live due to his bad heart and spent his time big…

I have a theory that some of the more different/interesting brands from the last 10-15 years ended up betraying their loyal customers or going under. As a result, regular customers of brands like Saab, Jeep or Saturn went to Subaru, which is why they've outperformed their sales figures every year since 2008. Then as…

Yeah, it's pretty atrocious that it should be a challenge to find one with a manual.

I hope these things depreciate terribly in a few years because it's literally the only thing that I could see replacing my WRX wagon.

The Goldwing really only has a 5 speed? Being a 1000lb cruiser, I would've thought they'd put a super-low 6th gear on that thing by now. I recently learned that in the early days, they sold Goldwings without the fairing. The want is strong.

Ok, three things:

Replace the word "sissiest" with "most unnecessary". However when it came to the GM clone cars of the late 90's the Oldsmobiles were by far best. They had cool styling, better options, and usually a power bump. It's interesting that they tried to have a little more character than their cousins, yet ended up on the…

Just gonna leave this here.

So the whole point of this is whether or not it's a "sin". Short answer is that it's a meaningless question, because no matter how you look at it you're still breaking the law.

Did you hear that? It was the sound of all the arguments made by Subaru purists becoming invalid.

Looks like you missed an opportunity for a trademark.

I had an old 626 with a 5-speed and that garbage V6 they shared with Ford. I still loved it. If I didn't have to deal with winter, I'd have a 3, 5, and 6 in my garage.
