Not having to deal with insurance bureaucracy is worth a lot of money.

The Cadillac of minivans!

Right there with you...manual transmissions and a lot of kids moving to the back of the bus for traction.

I remember back in the ‘80's learning about jet fighters, and wondering why with all of that technology we were still driving Chrysler K-cars and Chevy Citations. Fast forward to today...I’m driving basically an econobox that has nearly the same performance figures as Magnum’s Ferrari 308. And I can talk on the phone…

Maybe I’m juuuuust the right age, but I totally fell in love with the TR7 after seeing the commercial “The shape of things to come”. I thought the Spitfire looked generic (is it a fiat? an MG?) and the TR6 looked like it was built from leftover parts. That’s what I thought then. Today...I think the TR7 has aged poorly…

I agree totally (except on the spelling of “whale tail”). Watching the show I was wondering if Edd was reconsidering after seeing how much shop-time was shown. Ant was less goofy, no less likable though.

Does Alexa make you feel at all like this guy?

This article made me check ebay...there’s a clean Mk2

as an enthusiast and having owned four VWs so far, these sorts of gatherings always leave me with this question: do the owners, the people showing their own cars, have to scrub the oil stains of of the blacktop, or does VW bring in people for that?

I had an Integra, not a Type R though. Barely a type anything, but at the time it was the perfect car. I wanted something affordable, comfortable, reliable, easy on gas, but still fun to drive. I read this article hoping you’d say nice things about it because I’d still choose it over that pine cone-looking Honda.

Damn. Poor and landlocked.

This car is a really difficult math problem where every number is a variable. I’m just not that good at math.

I think my mom had one of these, but the non-turbo “ES” model (even slower) or something like that. I always thought the entire package was aesthetically a good design, but they hit a home run with those wheels.

I used to agree, but I’m now on the fence (not a chain-link fence, the HOA wouldn’t approve). My first house had a weirdo running the HOA that wouldn’t allow what most would consider “normal” improvements. Fences, etc. But they allowed one owner to paint their house bright blue and decorate with fake plastic flowers…

This would make a pretty nice shed. NP all the way!

Plastic wheel covers. The ‘velcro shoes’ of the automotive world.

Not even gonna read the article. CP.

I noticed there were fewer mosquitoes on the mountain this year, I didn’t realize it had been fogged.

Ah yes. I forgot to refer to this handy article: http://jalopnik.com/this-is-the-definitive-classification-guide-to-car-door-1785167296

Looks like they also swapped the door handles from an AMC. Wait, nevermind. I just googled Austin Allegro and found they all have door handles from an AMC.
