I find it hilarious that it is literally in better condition than every single one of Tracy’s projects.

They could have spent the money on writers with better jokes.

Hopefully it’s a Transit Connect ST with center exhaust, snowflake wheels and 4 Recaro bucket seats inside.

Waiting to get the money to buy one of these. Thankfully they get overlooked and are still relatively affordable.

I’d rather take the 80-100k and have the original 850 completely restored from top to bottom for the same $$.

Why would wipers get turned on when the door opens? Shouldn’t they go on once the car is turned on? (Does a Tesla need to be “turned on”? I honestly have no idea...)

I sure do love cars that need constant fixes and updates.

Turn wipers off if door is open.

Agreed, 100 horses in these is plenty to kick the rear out in 1st and 2nd around a turn, I had a ‘79 and it was a blast to drive around the speed limit, slow car fast and all.

I’m not defending Franco here, but social media is a cesspool where commenters jockey for attention by posting the most outrage-filled hot takes they can muster. So it may not be the ideal forum for a wide-ranging, nuanced discussion about improving gender equality.

Man, no shit: when I did the launch drive for this car back in 2014, they had all this British stuff everywhere. Union Jack flags, The Who and the Stones playing all over the place. But all the engineers there were German guys! “You like the new Mini, ja? Das ist ein kleiner Rennwagen, ja?”

really? did you look at the bottom half of the back of the car?

Well... if that’s it , its pretty hideous looking...

Yeah, I saw a list of cars that you buy when your wife is expecting your second child and then hand down when your oldest turns 16.

i sort of see this as a ‘type of person’ thing almost as much as the reliability of the car. japanese cars tend to be more sensible, and their buyers reflect that. the soccer mom who wants the new ferd quAdro-diesel boost f950 to drive jimmy down to school or the finance bro who wants to stunt in his maserari…

Disclaimer: This is not a bitchfest, just stuck out as strange to me that these sentences would be written for the typical Jalopnik demographic.

To Whom It May Concern:

The list has 3 things:

Hey I TRIED to buy an Alfa 4C. But their dealers ruined that. At least my local dealer only gets a small allocation and they won’t let me use one to custom order one instead forcing me to buy the one on the lot. But the problem there is that they optioned out the one on the lot with $20,000 in optional carbon fiber…
