It’s German, so no. A few might lease one, though. 

I just rented one of the outgoing-generation Jettas for a NYE trip to Vegas, and actually was thinking of writing up my impressions on Oppo. I think that Jetta looks much better than this one, but I would not be surprised if this new one drives better. I’d almost forgotten cars could understeer at parking-lot speeds. 

Well, for one thing, Recaros factory-equipped in special edition cars tend to be heavier than the stock seats. They also add to the expense, sometimes upwards of $3,000, for something I personally don’t believe improves the car. If I didn’t like the stock Miata seats, this might be worthwhile. But I like the stock…

Ah, too bad about the Recaros. I was interested until I saw that. 

Yeah, freeing up space is a pretty poor justification for this. If they wanted to do that, they could have used a column shifter. 

I’ll take the truck. It’s hard to find one of those old Uncle Jesses for less than $10 grand these days. And this one has a 460? Yes, please. 

Few cars make me look at the rental counter clerk and say, “No thanks, I’ll take the Dodge Stratus.” But this one does.

It looks like they tried to build a real version of a child’s drawing of a car.

When I was 20, I put an RS Akimoto decal with the Kanji on the back of my Integra after installing my new intake. Not my finest moment. 

I’m sure Phryne will be thrilled.

I keep one in my desk at work. My office gets cold, and I don’t care if I look stupid as long as I’m comfortable. 

Hell, I’ve gone to bars in my pyjamas. Just getting in the car to run an errand is for amateurs. 

A 7.3L gasoline V8? Yes, please. I want one. Don’t really need to hear anything more. 

Oh, I do like cars. I just don’t like you. I’ve been here for a long time, and I’m not going anywhere. 

I don’t want to be a “car guy.” It’s a stupid and embarrassing hobby, filled with people like you. 

How big is this hammer we’re talking about? 

Those cars were better than anything British Leyland was making at the time. 

Keep not knowing what you’re talking about. It’s OK. Most “car guys” are idiots. You fit right in. 

I don’t own a Mini, you moron.
