Did you just reference investment? hahahhaa

For nearly 30k I’d want a concours level car. This is not close to that. The seat wear, the double DIN unit (rad 80s stereos are part of the charm!) and there is plastic damage all over the passenger side (UV degradation?). 

That is a LOT of cabbage for nostalgia. Nostalgia I don’t have.

As my grandpappy used to say... “if you want to know how much God values money, just look at who he gives it to.”

It certainly confirms my notions about the mental capacity of Hummer drivers.

We need to bully them into bringing back Blazing Orange Pearl or some other kickass color. Red, black, white and grey...boring. WTF happened to blue? At least bring that back.

Who shifts from 2nd to 1st?

Needs a digital shift indicator? Really?

Thats literally any forced induction DI engine and not just honda.

The oil dilution comes from people babying the engine, not running it long enough or hot enough.  Drive it like you stole it and the engine will be just fine.  If you putt-putt three miles back and forth to work with it, though, you'll have issues.  Run it hard and hot!

I did the rice thing and added an HKS exhaust to my Fit. With the short shifter, lightweight wheels, camber bolts and rear sway bar, this is a hilarious car to hoon.

Autoblog was my go to for years and years. Then they kept changing their comment section to the point that it was unusable and I found Jalopnik.

Miata is Always...blah blah blah. Get creative and practical.

Man, for years my normal first two sites I opened rotation was Autoblog and Jalopnik. As you mentioned, there was a strong difference in the two blog styles that complimented each other very well and left us, the readership, with a wealth of information on all the goings on in the auto world.

Dodge Charger.

AMG? More like OMG...

1st Gen Ford Taurus SHO. You’ll have to try to get pulled over...

There are a lot of candidates for this list, but I’m going with one of the more attainable ones.

Beat me to it. Came to say the same thing.

A lot of these vehicles are overpriced for what you get, the Hornet is a neat little car but the MSRP is at least $5K too high to start off and rapidly goes off the rails, the PHEV is just insanely priced for what you get.
