It’s not just masculine dudes and trucks. The giant SUV’s suburban families think they need to haul their 1-2 kids around in is insane, and I live in metro boston where it’s actively annoying to deal with a car that big.

Americans: buy huge trucks and SUVs.

Too many guy’s masculinity hinges on whether they have a gas guzzling (or coal-rolling) pickup truck. It’s pathetic, and I don’t see that changing any time soon.

That was by far the weirdest one. I had a U.S.-market Gol (aka Fox) and it definitely drove similarly to the concurrent Quantum, also Audi-adjacent.

Sarcastically: “No way, man...every time I put money into my car, it goes UP that amount! So, if I bought the car for $15k, and put another $20k into it in repairs and ‘performance’ parts, then it’s worth $35k! Sure, I enjoyed it for 100,000 miles, but that doesn’t lower what it’s worth...I mean BMWs last for millions…

counterpoint : If a 185 mph capable, 0 - 60 4.5 sec. $ 20 000 daily drivable serious sports car is not good enough for you because dash/styling then you are most certainly NOT a gear head, you are a poseur

Yes it is a Runza!! 

I couldn’t decide if the original comment was supposed to be funny or if someone was really that clueless.  And is that a Runza??? Awesome.

Yep, and technically until 1979 if you count the Beetle cabrio. I’m sure in some markets the overlaps are much longer.

I believe VW also sold a Cabrio based on the mk1 well into the mk2 Golf run...

Exactly what the “No Dice” button says: just too many miles (and years). It’s impressively clean and well-preserved, and this kind of thing would be a hoot to daily, but comparables in mileage (if not quite in as pristine condition) seem to be going for like 40% of this asking...a few seconds of Googling reveals…

Or the Bugeye!! Which, to me, was always the quintessential British sports car. Slow, quirky, and more fun than it has any right to be.  

Former and would be owner of a TR4A IRS and a chrome bumper MG Midget. Half of these cars are utterly unsurvivable on American roads today.

Here’s the thing: the concept is cool. A converted 80's S-10 with a gullwing door, posh velour seats, sound system and more. Yet the actual item is terrible when you behold it.

not in on the truck either. Here’s a nightmare-you are traveling in the mountains on a 2 lane narrow road and this thing is in front of you. Can’t see around it and those might 115 horses are chugging up the grade carrying double the weight of the original truck. You be hoping to get stuck behind a VW microbus before…

Only once the corgi ghost army helps her heirs conquer France will she hold their oaths fulfilled.

That doesn’t mean you can’t honour a lifetime devoted to public servitude.

I, too, am surprised by the amount of Royal worship here in the U.S. I’m also further amused when people throw out this same comment that you have just posted.  Surely you realize that the modern Monarchy, and the overall structure of government in the U.K., is far different from the one that was in power in the late…

The NA Mercedes SLK55 would be fine if he never puts the top down. Corvettes are wasted on old people. I’m 30 and have a C5, use it for what it was made for and it’s perfect for what he’s looking for. Don’t knock the model for their first owners, and appreciate them for buying them new, taking good care of them, and…

Blah, blah, blah...as long as people keep breeding like rats—the one and 0nly cause of excess carbon emissions—climate change will happen at a faster and faster rate since there’ll be more and more people. Duh.
