This is so true.

S30 Datsun Z’s have a switch on the console to raise and lower the antenna, and also allows you to choose the height. The radio on my car never works, but the antenna sure is fun to play with.

I had a 97 Jaguar XK8 coupe, and the more I drove it, the more of the power antenna became unjammed. What started out at 18" tall when I bought the car ended up being about 42.” I felt like Marty McFly about to catch the 1.21 Gigawatts from a bolt of lightning and go back to the future.

So that’s where they all went when I had been looking for one to test drive....

2026 Mustang design cues revealed!

Wasn’t the 500e originally only sold in California though?

As a designer in the automotive industry, the easter eggs touches you mention are things we’d all love to do, but always get shot down by committee. Because he’s running his own firm now, he’s free to add all the fun stuff, and I like the freedom that’s reflected in his choices. It’s like the car has all these details…

Do the Pepboys by you not have at least ten service bays?

I take my 1985 AE86 Corolla GT-S in for service at the Toyota dealership.

“Crossover” is already “minivan” today.

You’d never know by looking at my work’s parking lot. There are two A4 Avants, a Jetta Sportwagen, a diesel Golf Sportwagen, and a Porsche Panamera Sporturismo (the owner of which has an RS6 reserved.) I’d be tempted to buy a wagon myself, however I had to choose between using my money to support new wagons or new…

Attitudes like this are why I didn’t get to grow up riding in my dad’s E-type Jag.

I’m actually ok with the fact I couldn’t tell the difference between two 90's Nissan beigeboxes.

To be fair, every Nissan Altima looks like that in LA.

Cool, let me just move to Europe.

I drove a coupe version for one day for work, and it definitely ranks 2nd in my top 3 of everything I’ve driven, behind only the 997 911 turbo.

Current asking price is $134,998, or the cost of a modest house in some areas.

Mercedes being a luxury brand is a marketing myth created by Mercedes Benz USA (and partially responsible for why we have the 25-year import law here.)

I think we’re still a little ways away from sedans being automatically referred to as “sports cars.”
