I'm sure someone here in Jersey will find it irresistible. But they would have to garage it at least 5 months out of the year and avoid entire sections of the state where the rough and tumble would be unkind to it. Still, nice price for somebody.

When the latest Infiniti has more hips that the latest Jag, something is wrong.

I think we can officially dub this the Porsche Yeti.

I hear Paul Hogan in my head saying, "That not a wagon. THIS is a wagon."

We give you a yacht with your yacht so you can yacht when you're not yachting.

@FP - Funny how it seems quiet around here, eh?: Filled with regret now for my lack of imagination (and resources) in destroying those Revell models when I got tired of them as a kid.

@Boosted Lazy Wagon: Farewell sir, and a fine way to exit. I knew it was COTD the minute I read it.

My son has turned mine into his man cave. Amp, weight bench, assorted castoff furniture. But he'll be outta here in three years. And boy was he helpful clearing out junk once the notion seized him.

For bringing back rear-facing seats, I'll forgive it for having more random creases than the shirt from the bottom of the laundry hamper.

@Boosted Lazy Wagon: COTD

I have to say that of the current resurrected threesome—Challenger, Camaro, Mustang—the new Challengers look the best when you see them on the street. It's a testament to the goodness of the original that, by staying closest to it, they produced the best-looking 21st century update.

@I gotta job, I'm gonna pay the rent: The first brand new vehicle my Dad ever bought was a '72 Dodge Sportsman to carry our family of 8. The only option on it was the extra bench seat. Pretty spartan accommodations for the kiddies, but 60,000 miles in 3 years without a hiccup. There just wasn't much to go wrong.

My first three cars were an '86 Chevette, an '88 Horizon and a '91 Escort. I don't want to romanticize the first two in any way, though the 2.2 gave the Horizon plenty of oomph. I really liked the Escort.

You know those dreams where something is chasing you? Don't watch this just before bed.

"Yes, your honor, I was at 83 mph before I noticed it, and then whoosh! It was gone.

The license plates are fitting, because that's a mountain of cash for this thing.

The signature ride will be the 'Ring of Fire.

@KKnD: No need to apologize. I was just thinking it looks like something from a comic book. And yet it's so iconic, it transcends any debate over its looks. It will be a nice price for somebody far richer than the rest of us.

Ironic Typo of the Day (ITOTD): 'wreckless' driving.

In an alternative universe, Volvo acquired BMW around 1985, with predictable results.
