Now that has way more cachet than the Mk3 Harlequin (although that only works up to 1967 or so when there was a significant facelift on front & rear fenders and the rear decklid).

This may have contributed as well.

Nice E36 center console - too bad they stopped putting the window controls by the gearshift after the E46 era.

A few other weird control locations:

(1) The VW Type III (1966-1973) had the (front) trunk release pull in the glove box and the gas flap release pull in the passenger-side knee-well
(2) The BMW E82 has the…

“THINK” They “have another think coming.” Look I know you’re a heavy duty weapon of war and not an English major but come on!

West Covina actually exists? I thought it was a made up city for “Crazy Ex Girlfriend”!

The Mk IV was always a fantastic design that aged well.

Are you sure it wasn’t Betamax?

OK. It’s horrible looking and lacks performance, range, and basic amenities (unless you want to keep that sweet, sweet feathered hairdo looking fly, in which case you can uncouple the defroster), but look at it this way: without this pioneer, however crappy, and however much it probably would have died from dysentery o…

Kids in the Hall covered this already.

Passenger door, not driver’s door.  Right-hand-drive in Japan.  :)

There was a Jalopnik Wikipedia page for a long time, including a whole section on our inside jokes, but Wikipedia deleted it a few years back. They even purged the history so you can’t revert it to anything before the redirect.

But is it RWD and can you get it in brown (with the appropriate number of pedals)?

Fascinating analysis of the road, but this still just comes down to a case of “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes”

There is never a need to go 2x the freeway speed limit on a residential boulevard.  Ever.

Abbie Eaton is a hell of a driver and I’m happy that she’s been able to find a wonderful intersection of career, passion, and personal life.  Good on her.

I can’t speak to whether or not a second Porsche would be good for your marriage, but to channel Stef Schrader - any Parsh is Good Parsh.

However, the point of this comment: I just wanted to state how horribly pedestrian the 996 dash is. Seriously - people bitch about the fried egg headlamp / turn signals (which are…

something you may care to learn about that “majority”
