...I even supplied a photo of that generation of Pacifica in my post. *shrugs shoulders* Not the first time I’ve seen the editors mess up a generation/era/domestic-market-version of a car from someone’s comment, and it won’t be the last.

I would not be surprised if a big portion of this decision was influenced by the 2023 All-Star race/open being at North Wilkesboro... to be eligible, a driver has to have competed in at least one points race in the year leading up to it.

So the wheels probably started turning in Jimmie’s head, and he sought ways to…

Looking forward to see if Tomica releases a casting of this :)

Oh, this is a good question for me, as I lack any and all depth-perception. (I see fine out of both eyes, they just don’t “talk” to each other to gauge depth)

The largest car I ever drove that I was borderline “comfortable” with was my late father’s mid-’00s Chrysler Pacifica. It is big, smooth and roomy, but not too…

My car history is a tad boring. But the most beautiful car [in my own silly little opinion] was my ‘96 Infiniti G20. Mainly because of the deep burgundy color, contrasted with the tan leather interior. I almost said my old Fiat 500c, but that was more “cute” than beautiful. My current 128i is decent enough, but has…

Farewell tour my ass. They’re gonna go all Barbra Streisand on that.

Got to visit Rovaniemi earlier this year. They love two things in that town: Santa Claus and the heavy metal band Lordi (the town’s public park is named/dedicated in their honor)

Indeed I meant the 601. I had a little Maisto diecast of one when I was younger and always liked the way it looked. Yes, I know it’s an objectively terrible vehicle, but it’s not ugly, at least :)

You mention the Trabant, and I must say that the styling on that one is perfectly fine, too... even borderline cute.

With the Iron Duke Camaro, I agree. I say that because I had one of its competitors from that era, a 2.3L base model foxbody Mercury Capri. That Ford NA 2.3L was an atrociously terrible engine. No power, terrible mileage and not reliable. Admittedly, mine was a couple decades old by the time I had it, but I probably…

One thing about Yugos: Whenever I see them placed on an “ugly cars” or “ugliest cars” list/book, I immediately conclude that the author has no credibility. They simply include the Yugo out of sheer laziness.

Of all the problems the Yugo arguably had, styling was not one of them. It’s a very conservative, aesthetically…

How about a modern rebadge? The no-credit, finance-special Dodge Journey continues its life in Mexico, except as a rebadged Chinese GAC GS5.

I would put the Croutan in my top 10 worst rebadge list. Absolutely.

My father.

When I was born, he had a ‘32 Oldsmobile (eternal project car), ‘57 DeSoto (from his grandmother when she stopped driving) ‘72 Pontiac Catalina, ‘73 Suburban, and a ‘74 Peugeot 504 (last three were daily-drivers for him and my mom)… and he kept acquiring interesting cars throughout my early childhood (‘67…

I’m reminded of this video...

My dad had a 1990 Dodge Monaco!

It’s a goddamn shame how Mopar disregarded that car. They were obligated to build them, per their post-merger agreement with the remnants of AMC, and they *treated* them as an obligation, nothing more. The Monaco (and Premier) was stylish, roomy and rode smoother than any other domestic…

THIS. So very much this. I echo JohnnyWasASchoolBoy in that it is my favorite modern Ferrari, but I’ll expand and say that it’s my favorite Ferrari, full stop.

For the longest time, its direct descendant, the F40, completely overshadowed it, but it’s finally getting the attention it deserves, if the explosive…

Can I submit a commercial vehicle?
