I was 10 when they came out and I always wanted one. Any time I saw one for sale as an adult it was all rusted out, trashed or had 150,000 miles on it. The people that had this were snowbirds so it was pulled to Florida during the winters thankfully and avoided the Ohio salt.

I bought a 1990 Geo Metro Convertible a week ago and had to do the same thing to it. It was sitting for 2 years with the top open in a garage but it was not cleaned good for the 27 years before that either. It has 48,000 miles and runs and looks amazing now for being almost 30 years old.

So true! We were never allowed to touch the windows either! Our cars were always clean and my cars are always clean now.

Actually, my brother and I were driving the other day and said the same thing when a Veloster drove by. That 3rd door alone makes me not interested in the car. The passenger side of the car looks terrible to us at least. I would much prefer it as more of a 2+2 design. Nobody is buying that car to carry rear passengers…

I love older Class A’s. I wish they would make a new retro styled one that looked more like these did and not just retro inspired. I want it to look like a Brady Bunch episode exploded on the inside of it. Bring on the formica and dark wood paneling please!

At one time I was 6'1" and weighed 390 pounds and always had small cars. They are more roomy in the front seats than a lot of midsize cars because their rooflines are much taller. It could be narrow but it just depends on how the center console area is set up. Now I weigh 200 so I can even get a Miata if I wanted.…

Living in Ohio I don’t see it as a big deal to have a front license plate. I can see them waiving the requirement on historical vehicles for aesthetics but we live in a state where it snows and for 6 months of the year. Our cars are covered in salt and our roads are loaded with potholes so having a front license plate…

I need to drive one of the Buicks now. I won’t get one because it can’t tow, I did not realize there were so many other things that sucked about it as well. If they made a V6 front wheel drive version, I think they would sell a lot more of them.

I would have one of those right now if it had at least a 3500 pound tow rating. Can’t tow anything when rated at only 1500 pounds.

I would have zero tolerance for this. If it were a dire emergency, they could have at least left a note. They are just lucky it was not my house!

I would unplug it, chop the cord up and then place it on the roof of the car. If he would ask me I would have said yes, but I have zero tolerance for smugness.

That reminds me of being a kid and driving in my grandmothers Cadillac. I can already smell the mix of Salem’s and Aqua Net. 

I thought the same thing. I am not sure how leather ever became a luxury option with it being hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. I would take those wool seats over anything they have in our luxury cars. These days, most automakers are trying to pass off vinyl as a premium seating material, but vinyl…

100%. Most small CUV’s have a towing capacity of 3500-5000 pounds. If this “truck” has similar towing stats I would absolutely buy one. Sure I could use a CUV to tow my small camper around just fine but I hate putting things like extra gasoline, small generator, fishing rods and other things that get dirty, smell or…

I would drive a modern car that looked like that now. It would be a great dog car.

I mean the brand Hummer. Not the vehicles. They were all due for a redesign when they were killed off anyway. They could have kept the brand and did exactly what Jeep is doing now. A few CUV’s to compete with RAV4, CRV and so on, a Small ute based on something like a Trax to compete with the Renegade, a BOF Wrangler…

Hummer should have never left. It would be an amazing Jeep competitor if it was still around now.

I still thing they look good and would take one if I found one that was in great shape. Unfortunately, I think most have been beaten and tortured beyond recognition. 

The Veloster is a direct replacement for the Tiburon. The cheap version of the Veloster is pretty much what the Tiburon was. The nice thing about the Veloster is that they have actual performance versions available where the first gen Tiburon was just a 2 door Elantra.

I liked the pre-facelifted versions. They looked pretty good in and out for that era. Of course I wish it would have looked more like the HCDII concept car that it was styled after, but for as cheap as they were they were pretty decent for the time if you understood that it was more of an Elantra coupe than a sports…
