Ah yes, This is the article that broke the bending straw. Jalopnik used to feature cool and quirky cars that definitely didn’t meet emission standards, but not a single person cared about that. Jalopnik is no longer about automobiles, its about making fun of people who are passionate about automobiles and being…

Letting all that happen for $4k is a really bad idea.

True, but some options are better than others when dealing with breaking said terms. Also, they didn’t really break any terms. The contract has a stated penalty if you go over miles. That’s in the contract. Everything is a negotiation. Seems to me, if you buy the car at the end of the lease, any penalty for miles over…

I would love to own a 1976 Buick Electra Limited in greed with white vinyl and green brocade fabric interior.

As a former owner of a 1971 Buick Le Sabre, and as someone who lived in a somewhat rugged rural area at that time, I feel compelled to inform you of just how wrong you are. That car was driven to that location, and it was driven out of it. Back then, we drove cars like this everywhere. Want to go skinny dipping at the…

How dare you say that era’s cars were terrible! My sister bought a brand new 1972 Chevy Vega that she would still be driving to this day if it hadn’t become a rusted hulk and mechanical disaster about the time she hit 20K on the odometer!

Jesus, that teal and white truck is a work of art. 

it’s almost been done
down 2 cylinders, but i’m still impressed

Question of the day: Can a V12 fit in a Miata?

Volvo 240 conversion?

Do you have some of the same cars rebadged on both lists? Or maybe im confused.

I have a 1990 Storm 5 speed. Still in great shape and fun to drive. Obviously not my only car now, but still drive it most every day. I bought it new when I needed a 4 seater to have a place for a baby seat. So now my daughter and car are both turning 30! Anyway, I know a lot of people don’t like the Storm. Maybe I…

1990 Ford Probe GT 8.1 seconds beating them all ;)

The Probe/MX-6 and the MX-3 don't reside in the bad category, but the Dodge Daytona does.

Car and Driver tested the Storm GSi (1.6 liter DOHC, FWD, non-turbo, 130 HP) in 1990 and reported a 8.5 second 0-60 time.

I used to drive a RS. That car was fun. It was random as hell, but it did have a Lotus suspension.

A turbo Dodge. Hell yeah. 

The Impulse RS and the Pulsar NX were both great cars, have you lost your mind??

“I got these things for free” - “priced just right”
“horrid to drive” - “makes a strong impression”

Alternate viewpoint... I recently rented a Charger GT with the Pentastar V6. Full disclosure, I am an unashamed car snob and was prepared to hate my mass produced rental with oversized wheels and (in proportion to) comically under sized Brembo rear brakes. But I didn’t. In fact, I spent the weekend with it charging up…
