It looks like it shouldn't fly yet it does.

So are pineapples.

The overall shape of the car isn't bad, it's just the styling details that are off-putting. Change the grille and get rid of those bumps on the hood and you've got yourself a somewhat pretty car.

Pfft, amateur. Get yourself a rollcage and then we'll talk.

Because we really need a 4-door CrossCab.

Obligatory.

You mentioned Ballaban so for some reason by the end of the article I was thinking he wrote it.

wait ignore the second sentence of my last comment. I forgot that this post was written by you and ended up referencing you

I recently had an experience with an overheating Toyota. You can ask Raphael about it, he was there. Someone at some point had used radiator stop-leak, and it had baked onto the little neck that the radiator cap locks onto. The stop leak had created an anti-gasket that was preventing the cap from making a proper seal,…

I seem to have a soft spot for anything large, American, and FWD.

An eighth or ninth gen Suburban, because as RCR so eloquently put it, "you could conceive, deliver, and raise a family in the back of this truck".

I don't know about the newer ones but older Wranglers also have hose-down-able interiors. Definitely comes in handy when you have kids.

Yay! Oldsmobile is coming back!

Nothing with the word "Hybrid" in it's name could possibly have a manual transmission, right? Wrong. The early Civic Hybrids ('01-'05) were available with a five-speed.

Hard to believe that's the same basic engine as this.

Would you buy one of these?

I always liked that flip-up console under the middle seat, and as the commercial says, Taurii are great for golfing. We've been able to fit four bags of clubs in the trunk (sedan, not wagon!) of my Grandparents' and we all fit comfortably in the car.

This is the Boeing YC-14, thanks to the exhaust blowing over the upper surface of the wings it could take off with a 27,000lb payload in about 2000ft, half the distance needed for the C-130 that it was supposed to replace. The project was cancelled, though, and only two were ever built.

I very much dislike modern driving lights. Stylists should be taking the time to design a driving light that is a unique shape and works with the styling of the car but instead they give us these generic round units surrounded by a sea of black plastic which fills up a space that by all rights would look better as…

The synchronous AC motor produced 23 horsepower with a frequency converter and could accelerate the 3,360 pound four-door to a top speed of 62 mph using a four-speed manual instead of a CVT. Range was once again around 55 miles if you kept your foot at 30 mph, but a 220-Volt outlet could fill the batteries to 80…
