Because “I hopped into my brand new Jeep, flipped on the A/C and listened to my Cher Pandora station all the way to Moab” might be the story that costs you readers.

I’m beginning to think you put yourself in these positions on purpose

I think he lost the whole “blend into the crowd” thing when he climbed into the Lotus. I’ve never been to spy school, but I imagine on day 1 they say “Don’t drive a car everyone will stare at”.

Ha! I forgot about that!

I zoomed WAY in...looks like it says “Roger Moore” right above 007. Which tells me one of a couple of things: Either the top-billed star of the entire franchise had to tell crew-members his name, OR (more likely) James Bond was working undercover as Roger Moore. Pretty convincing likeness.

I want a Lotus Esprit, just so I can put skis on it. This picture somehow tattooed itself on my psyche...it was going through my mind as a teenager when I had to carry my XC skis on the outside of my VW Type3. Not as cool as the Lotus, but pretty damn cool.

Moore was my favorite Bond for the same reason he’s everyone else’s least favorite. I saw an interview once (I think on Top Gear) where he said Bond movies aren’t realistic, why should he pretend they are? And by the later movies I loved watching the women in the movies swoon over this creepy old guy in polyester.

This was my favorite episode of the season for precisely the same reasons you seemed to not like it.

Audi Quattro. It might take some youtube to show the kid what it is, but it’ll be an easy sell. Plus it’s a decent driver with a comfy back seat

I believe at that price I would consider it a “Recreational Vehicle”

You should have bought the special pliers, the ones you used gave your car tetanus.

I love this kind of writing. I’m not a mechanic, but when I fix some part of my car it’s a victory. And quality job of setting the mood, this piece read like a Springsteen song.

I’ve had TWO sales people at our local Subaru dealer tell me “don’t spend all your money on a new car. It’s just a car. Get something cheap and reliable”

This one gets my vote

heretic

I’ve always looked young for my age. A curse for a long time, but finally paying off in my ‘50's. The curse part was driven home when I was in my early ‘20's, back around 1992, my pickup was falling apart and I had two cars picked out, very different, but both would fill the necessary voids. Choice 1 was a Jetta. …

Easy fix, just use quarters

I think the old TTs have aged really well. I thought they were “interesting” when they were new...like the Prowler or that weird Chevy SSR pickup. A design exercise that actually had some follow through, but exactly NOT for me. But a few years ago I found myself really eyeing the TT coupe. Yeah...I could see having…

Next to the Mach5 this is the most perfect car ever!

I test drove a Corolla S. I learned the “S” stands for “Red”.
