LOVE this!

Against all reason, I friggin love this car.

I get it! Just like “Mini-van” just means “van”

Glad to hear. I could bore most people to violence with stories of that car, but probably not among this crew. Observe: One of my favorites was, in exchange for helping me by a ‘69 Mach 1, I gave my Type 111 to my mom so she could trade it in on a Nissan Stanza. Since she couldn’t drive a stick I had drive to the…

I’ve never owned a beetle, though I’ve always wanted one. The closest I got was a Type III fastback that nearly drove me broke in voltage regulators alone. The floor panel was a piece of garbage can lid and the defrost fan was stolen from a hair dryer. Easily among the worst car I’ve ever owned, and the first (of…

I really want to like Acura but for the last 10 years or so I feel like they’re trying to sell McDonald’s ice cream cones in a Ben and Jerry’s world.

Hmm...”Andrew Collins and the Electric Soul”. Can you sing? Play guitar?

Hmm...you must not live at high elevation. I’ve hit black ice in a shady corner in late June, been snowed on every month of the year, and I’ve driven out of parking spots with snow up to the doors without shoveling. I definitely could have survived all of this without AWD, but why bother? Where I live its kind of…

I can’t tell if that’s a shadow or a puddle of fluids

I love these cars. I think they’re the perfect size and they’re gorgeous, PLUS AWD. Wait, I’m publicly admitting I love a Suzuki. Ahem. Nevermind.

how old is too old to take up skateboarding?

Does anyone remember Comical Ali?

Facebook is a useful tool for counting up dodged bullets. Egad the choices people make!

This is an easy one. They got married. She married him, he married his work. She stayed home, took care of the house, took care of herself by going to the gym and staying active. He snacked a little too often at work and was never home in time for supper. Eventually he had an affair with a co-worker because his…

Not sure its anything I can put into words, but even at those prices I just don’t want one.

I think I came up with the right answer: A Porsche 914. Why? Non-car people see “Porsche” written on it and don’t look beyond the word. Everyone who knows cars knows it’s not your primary car. Or even your secondary car. They think you’re an automotive hipster driving your “ironic” car.

I had the coupe instead of the Quattro (hey, 1200 bucks!) and despite a bad catalytic converter and the dashboard being held in place by gravity I still say its the best car I’ve ever owned. Had it been the Quattro I’d still be driving it.

Mazdaspeed 6. Use the extra $ for...well, don’t tell anyone there is extra $
