Might be worth watching if it actually had an attractive woman in it.

Sah-Dah Cawn-nuh?

Slightly more? AMC, Volvo and BMW were all using the same Borg Warner transmission at one point, (This is late '80's.) The AMC was $500, the Volvo was $1500, and the BMW was $3000, (Remanufactured.) I recently tired owning an E21, and within 6 months of ownership I had to spend $2000, with more repairs on the way.

The only reason I would trade any car in for that ugly fat turd would be to sell it and buy something better.

No, I decided a few years ago that money for cable was better spent on other things like XBox games and fuel for Saturday Morning Canyon Drives.

I'm going with nice price. I would totally take that off his hands if he gave me $3,000.

If ever there was a vehicle that didn't need 18" wheels, it would be the Yaris.

Wait, I don't get it. Prime steer gets groped?

Have you ever tried that? People will try to go through anyway. It's futile. Better to tape it for insurance claims.

Yeah, after looking at my picture, only the rears were bald. The car was still a handful, and I felt guilty as hell, (I'm usually the one preaching safety-first, don't cross the double yellow, check your inflation, ATGATT on the bike, etc,) but I had to get to work.

The porker issue was my first thought.

Okay, I see tread on the front tires, (The important ones on this car.) I ran out and took this pic right when the snow started that Sunday in November '06. Only the rears were down past the wear bars. My bad.

Should I google maps my route for you? Yeah those railroad crossings were challenging, but I got there and back every day they let me go to work. I had to find new ways to get around certain slopes, but I did it.

I was a poor temp, I could not afford to not go to work. No buses would get me from where I lived to where I worked. So I drove intelligently and slowly and I stayed the fuck off the main roads. I didn't hit anything, and while those railroad crossing humps in Woodinville were challenging to navigate, it actually

The Jetta MkV is an ugly almost Corolla-esque jelly bean, (Except for the decent interior), but it was still one of the more fun to drive commuter class cars. I was shocked to discover it was far more nimble and responsive in the twisties than my '09 Impreza. Having rented several Toyotas, I can tell you there is

Plenty of the natives don't know what they hell they are doing also. I moved up there in '06, (Sadly I had to move back in '07) and I was hellbent on making sure I wasn't "That Guy From California." I made it to work every day on my bald summer tires, and plenty of my native coworkers couldn't/didn't bother/got stuck

I realize that newer VW designs are not exciting, (But also not ugly) but how have they copied the Camry?

They are a detached platform even though they look the same, IIRC.

Damn, that's a stirring sound. Thanks.

I wouldn't mind having a 9-2, but I guess that's not REALLY a Saab.
