My son is graduating college in May, and I’m going to give him the E30. He loves it, and I’m ready to try something new. Never owned a Porsch-uh, convertible or midengined (other than a brief fiasco with trying to use a Fiero for RallyCross), so thinking that a used Boxster would be a good new experience.

*Ahem* 🎶I’m reading this list, checking it twice. What do you mean you broke the pipe vice?! Maintenance mechanic is wearing a frown.

I did a ridealong in a GT3 and it was scary.  The whole time it felt like the rear end was just itching to hop sideways.  Waaayyy too much power for a rear engine vehicle.  Which is weird, because you’d think the engine would keep it on the ground. 

Of course, it would need to be the Ter-Cell 4X.

I definitely laughed harder at “tall vanilla mach-e auto” than I had any right to :)

Ugh... I have two vintage Dodges sitting in my carport that told me the “we’ll be easy to fix” lie.

An 81 Dodge Omni 024 De Tomaso and an 82 Rampage. The Rampage was my wife’s Grandfather’s car and her first ride. I was interested in the Omni because it was supposed to be running, and I needed an engine, floorboards…

PROMISE no judgment? Then in that case, I think calling the Mach-E a Mustang was brilliant.

My controversial car opinion is that people who read Jalopnik do not know what “opinion” and “car” and “controversial” mean when those words are strung together. 

Shhh, listen, they’re calling to you....  “Buy us...”

Drifting is not actually that cool or interesting.  It gets old after like 2 minutes.

My house was built in the 40's, I have a fairly narrow driveway that runs between my house and the one next door. With something 72in wide, I can just get my bins or a bike or something past. Too many new cars are maxing out the allowable ~80in. The cars are too damn wide.

We should have pretty strict size restrictions on how big civilian vehicles can be. Trucks these days can’t even fit to established parking spaces. They block other vehicles’ sight lines on the road, they are unable to see pedestrians or other obstacles and hazards over their massive hoods, and their overcompensating…

But can they track a Falken on a cloudy day?

Hope you’ve had a good year!

What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs

What do you bet they all drove to the BMW dealership right afterward, and his little princess got exactly the car she wanted?

I want to feel bad for that guy, but as a dad with three kids as well, you and I know this situation didn’t just happen.

This memory was well and truly suppressed until now...thanks Jalopnik.

Not Christmas, but a birthday gift.
