I don't care what comes out of it to get it there, but if it can start under $20,000, I will be a very happy man. I don't care if that's the model with a 1.0L engine, no stereo and only two seats. I want the strippierest little RWD coupe that Chevrolet can offer.

Now playing

Jeep J8 testing video. Not quite 'Tank doing a bitchin' jump and shooting' badass, but still pretty badass.

First-gen Chrysler 300C. The SRT-8s are still in demand, and the V6 versions kinda suck ass, but low-mileage '05-'07s with the Hemi can be found well under $15,000-often under $10,000. For that, you get a bad-ass V8, RWD or AWD, some serious ass-hauling potential, one of the best pieces of sheetmetal of the 2000s

Practical but dull answer: 4th-generation ('88-'00) Chevrolet/GMC C/K. They're a dime a dozen (Less, maybe-I was just literally given one, in good running order), they generally came with either a 305 or 350 CSB, so they'll run forever, they're easy to find in long-bed form, they'll tow decently, and, when you're done

It holds the massive steel balls of the four teammates.

This times a million. Latest statement says they want to bring it with the Wrangler's generation redesign and factory upgrade in 2016/17, but we've been hearing 'It'll come in 5 years' for damn near a decade now.

Yeah, a mid-size, diesel-powered pickup based on a simple, rugged platform, what a retarded idea.

That's a platform mule for the upcoming Chrysler 100, a hatchback variant of the Dart. Chrysler will be positioning it as a sort of Audi A3 hatch competitor. It will also be replacing the current Lancia Delta.

Sergio Marchionne, by a massive margin. Everything good about Chrysler as of late can be traced back to him. People like Ralph Gilles, Oliver Francois, Frank Diaz and Reid Bigland have all had huge impacts at Chrysler too, but Sergio is the man who got the whole thing out of the fire and keeps the momentum going.

Sooooo...Lincoln should build a Chrysler 300?

Yeah, who'd ever wanna drive a boring old RWD V8 sedan like a 300? What a bore.

There are still DC-3s (Civilian model of the C-47) flying regular cargo and passenger runs in northern Canada. Even though they're ancient, they stand up to the stresses of winter weather better than almost anything. An unspeakable tank of an aircraft, and one of the most timeless designs ever.

The Jeep Wrangler. And at 70+ years of interrupted production (Not counting the CJ-Wrangler name change with the YJ), it's making a pretty good go at it so far.

The new(er) Compass has the same AWD options as the Patriot now.

Hummers aren't even good at exploring things once everything in front of them has been bombed flat.

They do one thing-they show to the market that you can have a genuinely good, fuel-efficient car.

'The good news is that the owner also brought his Lamborghini Diablo to the event, so he still had something else to drive the rest of the day.'

Michigan roads broke a swaybar linkags ON MY JEEP.

You can't go wrong with a solid-axled Jeep. TJ or JK Wranglers are the obvious choice, being both fairly easy to live with and very easy to work on, but anything with two live axles and seven slats provides plenty of opportunity for automotive fuckery. CJs, Wranglers, XJ Cherokees, ZJ and WJ Grand Cherokees, even the

It only works on the Wrangler, but it's really, really hard not to love the new Commando Green Wranglers.
