I swear it’s been like every week lately that a car I like gets axed from the US market. I think the Elantra GT is an attractive little hatch. Tasteful, unpretentious, but not boring either. Feels like there aren’t many cars left that don’t look like they’re trying to be something they’re not. I’ve had it on my…

Same here. I’m still driving my Mazda 3 that I bought new back in ‘07, and all the potential contenders to replace it keep vanishing or are not available here in the first place. I really hate the direction that the US car market is going. Good thing I still love my 3 after all these years.

Your comment about San Francisco being a hostile city to cars made me reflect on my SF years, and how I bought my first brand-new car while living there (‘07 Mazda 3 which I still have). I tried so hard to keep it pristine, and even paid for garage parking, but the occasional street parking left it scarred pretty…

I noticed that too. It stood out most to me when I saw the tail lights, since I always thought the Cast / Toyota Pixis had some neat geometric shapes in the back lights, and this car has the same.

I always thought those eyelids were such a cool detail. During my California years, I used to attend the All Italian Car & Motorcycle Show in Alameda every year and there was usually one or two beautiful Montreals on display. Here’s a couple I saw there:

For folks who live in the Midwest, Meijer has dedicated senior shopping hours Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-8am.

Looks like a Vector W8 to me.

I love green cars, enough so that I painted two of my vehicles green. The first was my Dodge Omni that I had back in college (which sadly got sideswiped by a semi truck three months after painting). Picture doesn’t really do it justice, but it was a nice metallic grass green.

While I’ve never paid a ton of attention to other Corvettes, I’ve always been in love with the C3. This one looks exactly like a die-cast Corvette model I’ve had since I was a kid and brings back a nice feeling of nostalgia, so I’m most definitely biased.

I feel like we’re hitting the point of CUV / SUV / ?UV oversaturation. I can’t keep track of them all anymore, or understand where the various models each make land in the lineup. Doesn’t really help that some manufacturers keep changing their model nomenclature every few years. I’m sort of wondering if this comes…

I bought this pattern-frenzy of a shirt at Target a few months back. Sort of reminds me of car camo. I have a pretty big body myself, and I do think it confuses the eye a bit. (just imagine it on a huge 39 year old dude and not on this lean teen.

I have a fond memory of Umeda Sky Building, from back in the summer of 2003. Daft Punk’s “Interstellar 5555" movie hit Japan and my best friend and I saw it in a theater room inside that building. One of my all-time favorite movie-going experiences (another one being when I saw Scott Pilgrim in its home town of…

This is killing me... My dream Saab for sale at a time in my life where I have lots of new responsibilities and can’t be thinking of getting a third car. My favorite color, favorite generation of 900, and favorite Saab wheels. Someone buy this and love it like I would!

I noticed that the license plate in the main image is “AHO”. That’s a Japanese word for “idiot” or “dummy”, and sort of sums up how I feel about Ford’s recent direction.

Just noticing that this article is from two months ago, but I’m gonna go ahead and comment into the void anyway :-)

Definitely impressive flying skills!

I gotta say though, there’s something about seeing aircraft flying in unusual patterns near the NYC skyline that gives me the willies (even though my rational side says that’s ridiculous.)

“I’m not sure what Porsche would have to do to make this work, but it’s looks like, hypothetically, it would be somewhere between the size of the actual Cayenne and the current Panamera...”

I guess they’d call it the “Cayamera”, or better yet.... “Chimera”.

Glad you dig it! That was a fun little experiment.

Your wish is granted! Two versions - one with a slightly more tasteful (?) light bar that retains the bumper structure:

I definitely like vehicles like this. I lived in Japan the past six years, until this January, and fell in love with the Toyota Sienta while over there, especially in the metallic green it came in for a couple years, and the highlighter yellow you show here. My parents have had two Mazda 5s so far, and they’ve been a…

My parents had a Le Car back in the day. My mom never has forgiven my dad for trading their Plymouth Barracuda for it.
