I cannot speak for many of the vehicles on this list, but there is a difference between $1000 transportation and a car enthusiast buying a $1000 car. I actually own an AMC Eagle. Let me tell you....these people who drive these cars ARE DEFINITELY enthusiasts. Here are two excellent examples: forums.amcevolution.com…

Yep. That is the Volvo she drives on "New Girl" She's awesome, hipster-y, and drives a Volvo on her show. I love her.

This is, hands down, the best example. Kudos for mentioning.

Ooo. Ooo. Do I see some Mitsu Eclipse in the front fenders??? Ugh. Pass.

This is really too bad. I took the very first FJ Cruiser order at the dealer I work for, for my uncle of all people. He is an outdoors/offroad enthusiast, and he saw this car as a truly modern replacement for his FJ45 he'd had since 1980. Was he sore about selling the FJ45? Absolutely. But, now he had a vehicle that…

Good call. Journey was my first choice.

Haha. I'm using this from now on (except for my clients, of course)...."Accord or Fusion, Derek?" Me "Porsche 944" Person, "Aren't Porsche's expensive?" Me: "Nah, $2500-15,000. Depends on things like, uh, water pumps" Person, "I want a new car though." Me, "No you don't. And, if you REALLY do...its at least new to…

My experience so far with the CLA ( I sell MB's) is that there really isn't a ton, if any, cost cutting over its next closest priced brother, the C-Class. There is one very, very offending feature though, which would be the hood prop-rod ("Holy Fucking Corolla!" was my response when I saw THAT (We are also a Toyota…

This. Without question. I don't even think its a real song. It is a music video for the Renault Alliance convertible, for gods sake. It is REALLY terrible. The Heat...IN THE STREET!!! Gawd. It's bad. The dancing? No wait, it's bad too.

This commercial saddens me. I have had several Town Cars, my most "recent" being my current 1988 of this vintage. I usually drive older cars, but if I was in the market for a new car (and I can be, I just choose to drive old), Lincoln would not be on my list even though I have owned six ranging from 1977-2001—two…

It's probably now the most valuable AMC Eagle. Best setup? the I-6 with the 5MT.

I tend to really like most Thunderbirds, but this one, the 87-88 TC is maybe my favorite four seater TBird. They got great reviews in their day, was Motor Trend's car of the year, and the allowance for the driver to have a full size car with a stick shift and the ability to make your exhaust sound like a riced-up…

My uncle had one of these from 1980 to 2006 with 300+k on it. It was beat to hell (for an AZ car at least) when he sold it to buy his first new car EVER (FJ Cruiser...which can go off road AND take a 2000 mile road trip in this thing called comfort...he also has the only 6MT FJC I've ever sold) yet he was still able…

Also, as far as I'm aware, NJ is the only state of which they are illegal. Only other way is like those snake ones and what not if they cover a key part of the plate, such as the registration sticker.

I think it depends on where you live. Unless something changed in the last year or so, Ohio's are still made of steel....proudly said on the packaging that they are manufactured by Ohio Steel Workers.

They can protect your car though. Metal on metal? RUST

Ok. Some cars look BETTER with them though (usually...they came from the factory.)

The look badass on an AMC Eagle SX-4. We have members in our club who have resorted to MAKING them because there are no more factory ones to be found (that we know of *snicker, snicker*)

Lexus RX350 without Nav. Simple. Luxurious. Soft riding.

I live by this. I actually have four mechanics for my AMC Eagle (besides myself for easy stuff)...I have an exhaust guy. Sometimes he feeds me. I have an HVAC guy...the type that will reweld your radiator before it needs replaced. I have a general mechanic for things like, well, when a wheel falls off from a broken…
