Uhm, pardon me but I think it looking inoffensive to the point you are not sure whether this is an old design is definitely the best possible outcome from a BMW redesign these days, wouldn’t you agree? Or would you have preferred absurdly gigantic kidneys or the beak of terror?

Oh man, what a blow. Thanks for all the joy you brought with your wonderful work and personality, Sam. May you rest in peace.

Love the wheels, love the color, that schnozz... Aww hell naww.

Miata can still be the answer if you are a bit handy with a welder!

Yeah its damn fugly, but at least it has no beak of nightmares, so I am relieved.

A brown wagon with a stick shift for a 4 figure price gets a huge crack pipe loss on fucking Jalopnik. The end is nigh and you people are no fun no more.

I love the idea of a Baja Ghia and except for the horrible roof that clashes with everything, this thing rules. So I d say lop off the fugly roof, move the spare tire there, make it structurally sound, paint it in a funky 70s color and swap the rear bumper for a comically oversized exhaust going up in the air and we’…

As much as I love your back to the DTM roots proposal and as much as I would watch the shit out of that, it ain’t gonna happen. Sedans are a dying breed, so manufacturers keen on selling SUVs and EVs will not dump millions into a 4 door racing series. But hey, we all can dream.

I actually prefer your wheels, dude. That said, that orange/brown color is so damn sexy, it would look lovely on your truck as well. Especially if you paint the wheels in body color and add a black stripe where the ...brown? stripe is now. Your blacked out grille would look awesome with this color, too.

This seems to me like a somewhat attractive (for the 80s at least), affordable GT (since the author doesn’t seem to know about those: Grand Tourer, mildly sporty coupes ideal for long distance travelling), since when do those cars not make any sense? Why should every car need a million horsepower and go 0-60 in minus…

Exactly. Since when do spory-ish GT Coupes not make sense? What a crap article.

Ever since Fiat foolishly canceled the gorgeous Fulvia Concept, I dreamt about buying a Fiat base car and making a replica. First, I was thinking Barchetta but since there was a Grande Punto Abarth that even has a 1.3 like the original Fulvia, I am partial to that as a base car.

“Recently, the messages from Joe have gotten worse. He used to bang on our door when we were walking too loudly- at times, even doing so wearing only his underwear

Yep, that is pretty fucking rad.

At this point, it should be pretty fucking obvious how basically every system in the USA is broken. Political, health, employment, immigration, you name it. Even the red hat wearing idiots should be able to see that, if they weren’t so busy being ignorant assholes. The richest country in the world is having by far the…

FFS Tracy, you aaalllllllmost made the right suggestion! Why go with the higher, heavier, fuglier Countryman when Clubmans can be had within the guys budget in all colors with low mileage all day long. Stop the stupid SUV/Crossover craze, how can you be Jalop if you don’t recomment a brown wagon instead of those…

We in America are clinging to our pickups like talismans of brighter days, and I hope that goes away as soon as possible.

Fuck what the market wants. The market also wants guns they dont need but that endanger others, opioids that are a health crisis, amazon which makes one terrible asshole rich by exploiting his workers in the most terrible ways etc etc etc. Just because humans want something doesnt mean it is good for them or their…

I was literally on board with every word until the very last paragraph. Fuck the X7. It is an obscene humongous fugly turd of a gas guzzler and it should be banned along all its brethren. If you need a 3rd row, get a motherfucking van FFS.

I m often enough critical of your antics, especially when they veer into dodgy safety territory, but that 1-2 Eagly/Pony punch plan sounds mega awesome. Plus the background with your brother is really heartwarming. Well deserved round of applause for you, Mr. Tracy.
