Focus RS comes to mind.

This is painfully embarrassing bootlicking.

Always carry a spare ballast resistor and condenser. Someday it will be the difference between being stuck at the side of the road or back on your way in under five minutes.

I rented a Chevy Malibu one year when my Caravan’s ECU lobotomized itself; the car was fantastically comfortable and roomy and got great mileage, but did you ever hear about them? Not at the time.

The Neon, especially the first gens. Not only were they competitive compacts as commuter cars for the 90s, they were nice and light and had up to 150hp which was plenty at the time. You could even get an ACR package with a shorter final drive, sway bars, and some other goodies that made them autocross and track day…

90's Isuzu Impulse AWD Turbo. Even when new most people didnt know this car existed, yet for the 90s it was a AWD Turbo with 160HP, comparable to the Preludes and Integras at the time but with AWD.

The Shark. Really, the old school BMW 6-Series was a simple grand tourer, fun to drive, and it just... looked rad, man. I almost feel guilty posting this car, because I don’t want other people to know how cool they are and drive up the prices on Bring A Trailer, but I’m willing to take the risk.

The minivan. When we finally had enough money to buy a vehicle in 2005, I needed something that could haul: kids, diapers, wipes, home improvement, family, non-family, road trips. Maybe splurge on the flip down DVD player.

The answer is Suzuki Kizashi, right?

If we’re gonna bring on the flaming, let’s do it right:

The Chevy Volt - it should have been a game changer - one of the first PHEVs with real useable electric range (I recall that even the first generation from 2010 had an all electric range of about 30 miles that equals a lot of PHEVs today). 

Fiat X-1/9: Cheap to run, easy to maintain, parts shared with more lowly 128, body structure designed to a higher crush standard than the Spyder’s, FUN to drive, huge frunk and useful trunk, targa top and AC that worked. Save all your Fix It Again Tony jokes because I daily drove it for two years. Fixed a bad…

The Mr2 Spyder was a solid competitor to the Miata in both performance and price, but completely flopped because it was so radically different from the second gen MR2.

The Mitsubishi Starion / Chrysler Conquest, especially the later wide-body models. There were plenty of Japanese 3door hatches back in the 80s but the Supra, Rx-7, and 300ZX got all the notoriety. Mitz turned that around a little bit in the 90s with the 3G/DSMs but the 80s Starions were completely overlooked, despite…

I love how he landed that in a field with no power smoother than most American Airlines flights I’ve been on.

I’d take it at this price even with the cracked K. This is from when Lincoln set their sights on BMW and styling-wise, to my eyes, got ‘em. You could be excused for mistaking this for a concurrent 5-series.

I don’t need another car

Oh, for heaven’s sake. By color?! Um, no.

Fucking monsters.
