Yup. My buddies and I have always just called them Hecklers. 

I’m a recovering ex-German-car fanatic. The hangover has lasted decades. I’ve pretty much sworn off anything German. Even their beer.

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.
