Watching things bounce makes me giggle.

She made her way to the farm after misunderstanding the euphemism "plowed."

It could use some protection, but man was it easy to change the oil on that thing.

When you directly feel how your car works you are more inclined to take care of it. Changing gears adds another driving dynamic and the more you feel the car, the better driver you will be.

Really? Her parents thought that spelling of "Molly" was a good idea?

Yeah, it had to be driven hard. I used to have one of those and aside from head gaskets and oil leaks the engines last quite a while.

The belt really ties the outfit together.

Too awesome! Finally that thing gets a purpose in the game.

Anopther shot of the XG350. I really think this is it. You can see the reflection in the chrome door protectors as it drives by. Also the wheels look identical to ones in my other picture and it appears to be larger than the Sonata although it is hard to tell how big the person is.

Hyundai XG350? The wheels match and it looks like chrome door protectors.

I don't understand the hate on it's looks. Just yesterday people here were bitching about how cars all look the same these days and now that someone makes a unique design with respectable performance you hate it.

My Miata will be smiling right back. So will my girlfriend's 2010 Mazda 3. I like seeing something different than the overly aggressive scowl everything else seems to be sporting these days.

You can blame designers, but they are working within what the public demands. The majority want safer cars for pedestrians as well as occupants. This starts with a higher sloped nose that meets pedestrian safety regulations. This safety design also requires a higher hood leaving a crush zone to absorb impact.

Very true. I'd say that one is pretty reasonable.

Am I the only one in awe that you can get a decent late model Silverado for $2500? That is a steal.

Now that is how you sell cars! I guess. Seriously, what the hell does that say about the automobile in question? Every other hood ornament conveys beauty and grace. It's like the designer showed up to the meeting with "I had the weirdest dream last night you guys! Hear me out on this..."

Why is it called a "donk"? I don't understand.

The sensors won't trigger under certain speeds. It looks bad, but most of that was pretty cosmetic and not too hard on the driver.

Awesome, thanks!

That would be a great idea. I searched for months before finding a cheap suitable older 4wd for winter. Ended up with a 92 Explorer 4wd for a grand.
