Always makes me think of this:

Or if you live in Canada...

Looks like it’s sporting a Camry dent in this shot.

My first Miata was a ‘94 M Edition. It was falling apart when I got it but I had the free time to wrench on it. Learned a lot. Sold it two years later for $800 less than I paid for it. I last all of two years before buying another Miata. I’ve actually had three cars fall in my lap that I kept less than a year. It…

Chronic sensor issues with my G8 (TPMS and O2) has certainly taken the sheen off my first two months of ownership. But generally I feel the itch after two years when I get bored with the routine and find myself perusing AutoTrader - with everything except my Mazdaspeed Miata. Every time I think about selling it I take…

Day three of ownership on my G8, CEL. Bad O2 sensor. It comes and goes. It’s infuriating. But I keep my scanner in the car just incase when it pops back on it’s not the O2 sensor. Still waiting for the dealer to make good and replace it free of charge as they promised to do over a month ago. It’s certainly spoiled the…

Pontiac G8 (GT or GXP). At least in Canada, where they were only sold for one year. And yes, because I own a GT. GXP Manual is the unicorn. Something like 60 Canadian-spec GXPs made it in, and of those, very few manuals. A manual Canadian-spec GXP: rarest of the rare of the best Ponti-Holden ever made.

“Private, confidential, one on one, and DISCREET!!” Man, those dial-a-date infomercials were great!

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the RenCen over the past decade. It always felt like the set from an old science fiction movie: how people in the 1970's thought we’d be living by the 1990's.

I have driven the current ForTwo gas version that Car2Go uses. A vast improvement over the previous gen. If you don’t want anything more than a great little city runabout put it on your list, but don’t expect it to set your hair (or anything else) on fire with excitement.

Speaking of forgettable full-size sedans, I passed a very clean one of these on the highway today and actually said out loud to myself, “Oh yeah, I remember the New Yorker!” I had to marvel at the owner who has obviously taken enough pride that allowed it to survive more than 20 Canadian winters, but thenI had to…

I had a Cobalt SS turbo that I feel owed quite a lot to the 9-3 Viggen:

Turbocharged 2.0L making 260 hp/ 260 torques
Same transmission, right down to the shift knob
Limited slip front diff, so less torque steer

I loved to drive that Cobalt, but I’d taken a Viggen every day.

Did that Sukhoi just do the equivalent of “you lookin’ at my girl, bruh?” then flash its biceps?

It’s one car I’ve been keeping my eye on too. But the cheapest one on AutoTrader Canada is $44,000, which when you factor in exchange rate is $32,000. Until I get paid in US dollars the search continues...

Trading up to a home with a garage and not subjecting myself to a doubled or tripled commute time would cost me an easy half mil. Toronto real estate prices are no joke!

Just needs some Truk Nutz to complete the package.

The front page of Reddit anthropomorphized into a five-year old girl.

I’ve always aimed for a 997 C2S, but (in Canada at least) a decent 997 will still require at least fifty thousand of your hard-earned dollars. If I could get in on the ground floor for twenty and the IMS work has been done, I could learn to love that interior.

W Body Impala, not Malibu. It would take some kind of force to create that level of carnage!

Scenario: Dealer says they made a mistake on a signed contract and they want you to now sign a new contract whereby you owe them more money.
