my triumph spitfire was small enough that i could reach back and touch the rear tire while i was driving. once my passenger side hood latch popped up on the highway and my brother was able to undo his seatbelt and reach it to close it again.

hasn’t he always eventually rolled out something, though? i never believe his timelines or sales price estimates, but i don’t remember anything he ran his mouth about being straight up canceled. 

6?

yeah. this MB looks nicer inside, but if i’m limited to 40 mile one way trips anyway, better seats or whatever just don’t matter that much to me.

i simply cannot make a case for owning this vehicle. for $13k it’s got decent cargo room, the interior looks nice, it doesn’t need gasoline. but i don’t buy enough groceries to need all that space. interior comfort is not a priority for me on trips that are never longer than 40 miles one way. the Honda Fit only burns…

i don’t consider replacing the heads with the most recently redesigned version a bunch of modifications. at all.

i wish i hadn’t thrown away my RC10.

this makes sense because those 75 people didn’t spend their last or only $2M on these cars. we’re talking about people that can’t think of anything better to do with the money because they have plenty more.

they were not thought of as cheap at my high school, but they did seem to be on a 30 day major body work cycle. maybe i grew up in a lower-income neighborhood. the only people driving these when i graduated in 91 sold pot, acid and x to the kids driving 10 year old Silverados. kids that could afford them and afford to…

this is true, but Mr. Ice drove a ‘90, and the ‘86 looked old and shitty to most people by then.

i would 100% buy one if i could get adaptive cruise at the trim level that has plaid seats. but even though another jalopnik article claimed that adaptive cruise will be standard, i don’t think that’s true. i think it’s the other camera stuff that’s standard, like emergency braking and cross traffic bleating. i’m…

i bought a volvo for my stepdaughter. she had it for a month and hit a curb causing $1800 in damage. i only paid $3800 for it. i took the volvo and got her a nissan altima. much cheaper to fix and when they fuck it all up you don’t care because it’s an altima. all she really wanted was AC and bluetooth anyway.

or we could just learn the difference between the tens of millions of cars used for commuting 5 days a week and the tens of thousands of cars used on tracks 1 day a month.

all of that, plus for some reason at least where i grew up in TX, Olds had a reputation for being the most reliable American marque. if you were dead set on buying an American car in the early 80s, the cutlass was the best combination of looks and features and reliability and price.

you’re fucking stupid.

it’s 2021.

this. 

if you’re buying used, it’s got somebody’s crotch sweat on it. might as well be a famous person’s crotch sweat.

yeah maybe someone at Ford talked to someone that worked at Dell in 1993.
