We shopped a weekender, but decided against it because (aside from it being a 2000 VW) the seat our soon-to-be-existing baby would be in was waaaaaay the fug back there. Eventually we bought an Econoline with a sportsmobile conversion. We don’t use the stove because we don’t want grease and stink in the van, and we…

Aston Martin is the “Jack Johnson song” of automakers. I can’t tell one from the next, but I like them all.

We had friends who lived in the old section of Quebec, their garage was the passageway between the street and the courtyard. Basically a small tunnel meant for horses, not Hyundais. It was pretty impressive watching him fold the mirrors back, back into the tunnel/garage and shimmy out through the tailgate. Still, I…

This reminds me of the time a friend loaned me his old Boxter for the day. I could NOT get that car out of my mind. I stared at pictures on line, priced them out, and finally decided that one day, I WILL own an MR2

The diesel in the tank makes sense. Thirty years ago I drove the two hours to a girlfriend’s house in my mom’s sweet ‘84 Jetta (Wolfsburg edition!) that had half a tank of diesel because the truck filled the wrong tank at the station. Took forever to start and had the occasional epileptic fit, but got me there and…

Sadly, I’m only allowed to give you one star. But its the most powerful star in the world.

I promise you, I’m a car guy. But the first time I ever saw John Davis I thought to myself “I hate this man”.

I hadn’t thought of the Biscayne in years! A friend had one, but his was three-on-the-tree. Fun car, but it cornered like a tethered balloon.

I always thought the Magnum v8 was from a Ferrari 308

I too bought a car with a manual so I could learn to drive it. It was my first car, a 73 VW Type 3 fastback. Cool car now, though not at all when I had it. I remember stalling nearly every time I started out in first, UNTIL I stopped at a stop sign that was on a hill, with a pickup too close behind me. I needed one…

Just allergies everyone. I swear!

Cheap Jeep+David Tracy=”against all odds”?

I wonder if they gave up on marketing this because they wanted to focus their efforts in getting satellites launched for their other idea.

My old ‘78 Scirocco had an aftermarket one! Just one of many things (including vapor lock) that made that car special.

I remember driving miles down a dirt road, over rocks and through streams, and being glad I was in a Jeep. When we got to the trail head at the end of the road there was a frigging Miata.

This is good. More of this, please.

I LOOOOOVE “pick any car in this aisle”.

Am I the only one who buys cars based on exterior dimensions because I know how big my garage is?
