I mean, it kind of sounds like it was the cars? If they’re built so crappy that they can’t make it off the semi, and banks won’t finance them, seems like it’s the car’s fault.

You don’t need 2 big vehicles, sorry.

I disagree.

“I want a huge SUV to help ensure my three kids have to use a computer to see what a coral reef used to look like, please help me fuck them over hard.”

Ditch the wife and kids.

They already have a minivan too, so I guess a stupid overly tall station wagon makes sense. I just hate driving around a giant empty box when I don’t have passengers.

Holy cow, I’m not even sure where I would start. My parents were very young and didn’t have much money when I was born in 1983, and we had all kinds of terrible cars when I was growing up. The one that sticks out is the AMC Gremlin my mom drove from the time I was born until I was 5-6. My biggest memory of that car is…

I remember when these were just worthless curiosities. It wasn’t that long ago.

SLK55 never came with a manual to my knowledge though. But I would rather put the Crossfire transmission in the SLK than a V8 in the Crossfire.

Official car of the LA Olympics. Yet despite that, the games are still around.

There’s no A/C

No dice with the slush box, if it had the five speed...it wouldn’t have survived as the five speed is a popular choice for giving Austin Healey Sprites and Midgets a five speed conversion and proper highway gear, and they are pretty much unobtanium these days.

Now this is a Jalopnik project worth following...

IDK; I mean...it’s a 20 year old, enthusiast car-how many miles should it have on it? People complain when they sit in vacuum-sealed garages and say “cars are meant to be driven!”...then someone actually drives them and then it’s “this car has too many miles!”. I have a newer car with more miles on it TBH and would…

More than made up for by the myriad buttons. Let us tactile feedback denizens rejoice and raise a toast.

About 25 years ago (give or take a few) my father in law bought a black on black 1973 Pantera for $19,000. He kept it for about 4 years, letting me drive it wheneverI wanted, and then sold it... for $19,000. Those were the good old days.

I had the distinct pleasure of driving a friend’s near-enough-to-British-Racing-Green-as-doesn’t-matter over cream NA Miata at one point. So, yes. They did.

This is, no snark intended, an excellent color for a truck. A Miata? Nah.

a BMW 330i isn’t much more,
