The Jensen Interceptor had a Chrysler engine. He's not entirely right, but technically, he's not wrong — it's powered by "American Muscle".

So, the Supra is beyond criticism? Good to know.

I also think that Toyota used the Ferrari F40 as the "concept car" for the last Supra. As proof, I submit the following photos.

Pontiac was king of this. Look at this sexy beast of an automobile.

Consider that the Aztek probably started life as the early 90's Pontiac Stinger. It doesn't look that similar, but it was meant to be a crossover before that was even a word, and had all kinds of fold out utility, like a totable radio, a popout cooler, AC plugs, a fold out table for picnics, washable seats ... just…

We could have filled this list with Asanti wheels.

I'm in Germany, April 2007, somewhere on the way to Berlin. I'm in a rented 5-series BMW, which is apparently "limousine class" in Germany. It's way too big for most ordinary driving, but it's what I've got and it hauls balls, so I'm happy.

There are good cars available in the $3k range, you've just got to look for them.

They tried, though. Look at the fourth-gen Firebird. Look at the Banshee. The lines are there, they just managed to screw it all up and get it perfectly wrong.

That car hasn't really depreciated. I helped a friend buy one a month ago, and after a lot of looking and haggling, we found an 05 for $25k that wasn't beat to shit, but still had 70k miles. For a good example under 50k miles, you're realistically looking at 30-35k.

Every Jalop should be aware of the 2005-06 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG. Here's a car with a twin turbo V-12 that puts out 604 horsepower and 738 foot-pounds of torque. It was $180,000 new with no options. Right off the showroom floor with stock rubber, it can turn 11 second quarter mile times. With the speed limiter…

I think this is it. The door handle is very specific to the Cougar, and doors and door hardware are the hardest things to change. The mirrors don't exactly match — they've been mounted on the door instead of on the A-pillar, but they appear to be the same mirrors. I think they were just moved down. The line of…

No love for the Porsche 928? You can find nice examples of this car for under $5000 all day long. Here's a perfect 1986 example for $4600.

I taught my niece to drive stick in my Porsche Cayman S. I don't regret it for a minute. Maybe it cost me a few thousand miles off my clutch. She ended up with a story she'll tell forever. She'll appreciate cars forever. It's hard to put a dollar figure on that. I wouldn't have given her the car as a first car…
