I'm closest to that 5th category McMike proposed. The story is, by the time I was learning to drive, my Dad had long since lost his appetite for manuals, so I learned on an automatic. My first car was an automatic; I lived/worked in an urban environment where a stick would be more of a chore than any kind of fun.

With that beltline, woe to the short drivers.

Nice price, though I have to say, I always felt the targa top completely ruined the lines on this car. That backlight looks like something GM would have slapped on.

So China has not one but two knockoffs of the BMW roundel.

That was kind of looking not quite horrible until I got to the full-on side view. Although it would have been CP regardless.

There's a drive-in somewhere in the Lehigh Valley in PA. A co-worker went there recently with her husband and their young daughter, who woke her parents up when the double feature ended.

My brother had a '76 Sunbird notchback. Being 20 or so at the time, he managed to make it even uglier.

Good. I want there to be 458s for my grandchildren to see.

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: The trouble started when he got up in his own grill.

I see the Viper resemblance, but it also makes me think of a 928 designed with emotion.

Priaminobaru.

My example of this principle is Napoleon Dynamite. Watching it with my then 13-year-old son, it was a hoot. Watching it alone—asleep in 10...9...8....

For me? 1987 snowstorm. Union City, NJ to South Orange, NJ. 15 miles. 8 hours. That is all.

Stewie, is that you?

Trust the Italians to turn a simple door handle into a work of art.

Nowadays, the Pinto would be a down on the junkyard subject.

Why does everything from Bentley make me think of Usain Bolt in a fat suit?

20something years ago, I got a notice from Chrysler that they had inadvertently omitted the "bugle horn symbol" from the steering wheel of my '88 Horizon. The notice went on to meticulously explain the operation of the horn. No doubt the result of much discussion between Chrysler and NHTSA, involving many billable…

I think they missed an opportunity here. Raise that rear roofline a smidge, rework the side glass, and make the world's most curvaceous shooting brake.

The front end treatment is finally evolving in a meaningful way. I'm just not sure I like the direction. Seems a little incoherent, like different committees did the lights and grille.
