NP (nostalgic price)for a clean car, in a rare-ish drop top/manual config. These were bad-ass cars when I was just really getting interested in cars. At the time 275hp (probably underrated) was a big deal. And the 325lb/ft of torque made it feel much stronger.

Immediately put off by the straight cut bevel gears in the headline animation. Helical dude! (probably a bitch to animate, but this is Jalopnik, home of the needlessly nit-picky commentators)  

Mortgage is due.

I think I speak for most of us when I say “Fuck. That.”

Irrational NP.

How about the golden age of so many reliable cars offering staggering horsepower? I mean, 20 years ago, the corvette was just into the 300's, and even the viper or exotics were in the 400's. Now? The toyota camry offers 300hp. you can buy a 400 hp sedan from Cadillac, and that not even the most powerful model. You…

A zero option GMC canyon 2wd 4cyl 6 speed is $21800 msrp. Its Probable that the actual transaction price would be below that. Not too far off of the mark.

I actually kinda like the jeep...

My best one was completely planned, and went off without a hitch.

Congrats on the Lemons victory of the highest order!

I mean, its a 944, so there is only a 50% chance that the failure was even flood related.

Still a better investment than most jeeps! At least in my experience.

Dual exhaust on everything. Carmakers fight for every ounce of weight savings, but then throw another muffler on because styling. fine on performance cars,but seems counter productive on cars that prize fuel economy. Is it really going to help move a few more civic LX’s? And don’t even get me started about dual…

Black wheels. On EVERYTHING. It was cool in 1999 when it first started, but now is so played out. I’m also including the really dark gray wheels. I’m not saying we should go back to chrome everything, but a little more variety would be nice.

Why is grandma giving us the finger?

I know right?

At first I though he was trolling, but then he made one hull of an entrance and dove in. If he had a wife, I’m sure this would propeller to get a divorce.

I lol’d. have a star.
