Yep. Plus the red stitching accents.

You know, even if I had unlimited resources at my disposal I’d probably come up with something just like that.

I know where you can trade it in on a 2016 BMW 330i with only 31 miles on the clock. Well, probably a few more miles now.

I got a blue 2012, which in my totally unbiased opinion is the best looking of them all (though not by much). Red was the only other non-neutral color. Option-wise my only “must-have” was/is/forever will be a sunroof. And heated seats. I think my model is “GTI with convenience package”, or something like that. …

Agreed. I wouldn’t look good in a “Monster” hat.

One day this past summer I was at a stoplight with my windows down and had to call my wife. My car asked to confirm “Do you want to call wife?”. The guy in the car next to me heard my car and yelled “NO!”. My car said “Cancel”. I might have been mad if I wasn’t laughing so hard.

There needs to be an alcohol wipe dispenser right next to it

My daughter convinced me to get the two-door because she thought it was cool how the seats flipped to get in the back where she’d be riding. Since it was cheaper and the budget was already stretched, the right color/options I went with it. Before the first fill-up “Hey Dad! How do you roll down the windows back…

I think most birds would be FWD. Except this one:

I want to know more about this Cacataibo tribe!

I think its LBJ

I think I’ve come up with a solid anti-theft device that should be very effective yet costs next to nothing. I believe draping an old pair of underpants over the steering wheel, specifically a ratty pair of tighty-whities that have greyed with age and mileage. Deterrence, folks!

I’d love to have an adventure like this but I think my lack of an obscene amount of disposable income is what keeps me acting like such a pansy.

I love these cars despite all logic. I test drove one (not the police version, I wasn’t that cool) back in the day and decided against it for three reasons: the shift lever hit one of the seats which I felt was poor design, the wispy smoke coming from under the hood, and finally having to be picked up by the dealer…

More importantly, will it have a 3-year, 30000 mile warranty that includes routine maintenance?

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…
