My middle school had one. By the time I went there, it had been turned into a sprts equipment storage romm called “the dungeon”

Sounds too cool. If you ever get to see it, please do share photos.

Well, I suspect “$8k extra” is a bit of an overstatement. I paid $28k two and half years ago. You can barely get a good 2006 Range Rover now for $20k.

Will you keep your fingers crossed?

Hopefully this van doesn’t suffer from the Sprinter’s main downfall: Rust

Company money was used indirectly to buy my car, clothes, pay for my vacations, etc. Scandal! Granted, it was through my paycheck, but still...

Honorable Mention: Fixes the 5-year old-or-so issue of:

4 doors, 4 Turbo charged cylinders making over 100bhp/litre, AWD and a 0-60 time under 7 seconds.. not bad for the late 1980s.

Who’s happy with only two seats?

I'm legit counting down until I can import one to the US.

Alex I’ll take any Detroit Muscle car putting out in excess of 350HP for the win......even though they might not put down the #s having this type of power in a prehistoric chassis can make for some excitement. When I was 16 years old $1200 would buy some real “teenage killing machine” such as SS396 Chevelles, 383 Road…

While I’m far from a huge Ford fan, this car is completely competitive with many of the modern hot hatches, running with things like an Abarth and turbo Veloster and not too far behind new GTI’s etc. I’ll admit I’ve always wanted one.

“Capable of doing the standing mile in 31 seconds”

TVR Cerbera - 60 in 4 seconds and a top speed of 185mph. Capable of doing the standing mile in 31 seconds, considerably beating out cars such as the Esprit V8 and Dodge Viper. Not bad for an 18 year old design.

First time “did it better” and Murano Cross Cabriolet were used in the same context.

A trooper regularly does the finger thing at the end of the carpool ramp where it joins the freeway down the street from me. Just stands there pointing cars over to the shoulder with fewer than two occupants. The “trap” is that once you commit to this on-ramp, you can’t see him at the end of it, and by the time you…

A cop did this to me once. I was pissed, I was so sure I wasn’t speeding since I knew the spot to be a speed trap...

the only really negative thing is when the parents are super overbearing and using their kids as indentured labor to get autographs. Or when someone invades your space and is a jerk- HEY PAL YOU GOT ANY BASEBALL CARDS IN THAT BACKPACK? no man I don’t carry around photos of myself to sign. WELL THATS STUPID

the answer is always Miata. Or Mazda 3 hatchback 2.5L with a 6 speed
