The new Bronco! I love driving this. Drives far better than the Wrangler. I’ve already done a couple road trips with it and it’s well-mannered on the highway, and performed flawlessly on a “road” (read something that might have been a Jeep track 20 years ago) in West Virginia that saw me end up with mud all the way up…
Didn’t we just establish in a QOTD that low miles+old=don’t buy?
Not mine, but the Mrs. had a Saturn SL1 when we met. Hers had a sunroof. The only good thing about that car was it got almost 40 MPG on the highway, and had the manual transmission, which I believe was a 5-speed. It was a boring color (same as the picture, but that isn’t her car), and was boring to drive. Somehow it…
I live in PA. Rust is always a huge (literally) red flag.
How has nobody mentioned the BMW 635CSi from Moonlighting? Am I that old?
This color on all the cars...
The MK2 Toyota Yaris. I had to take one of these crapcans as a rental when there was quite literally nothing else on the lot. Slow, noisy, it felt like it was coming apart at the seams at anything over 60 MPH. Worst. Car. Ever. Oh, and the interior was cramped and wildly uncomfortable (I’m only 5'8" tall, I can’t…
Most of the pieces are in place prepping the Bronco to head to the Allagash in Maine next summer. The last 2 major parts are a light bar above the windshield and the Advanced Fiberglass hard top coming in. I may have the rockers and lower part of the doors done in Line-X as well. To date: N-Fab nerf bars with steps,…
May I present to you the 1974 Ford Mustang II (This is a later model Ghia, but you get the idea). My uncle in Philly was getting rid of it, it cost me $65 in parts to get it to where it would pass inspection to drive it home to Pittsburgh. 2.3l Lima 4-banger with no power, no torque, no redeeming qualities at all. Used…
Even though the Scout 3 never made it to production, I would be much happier if VW would do an ICE version of the Scout when they resurrect it. Stretch this bad boy to have 4 doors and ease up on the rake for the back. Plus look at those wheels! That would be a winner.
I had a ‘79 IHC Scout 2 Terra (Pickup configuration). The gas tank rusted under the straps. Bunch of swiss cheese there when I dropped it out. Thanks to a little trick my dad showed me on a garden tractor tank (filling the tank with exhaust from one of the farm tractors), I managed to weld the holes shut without…
I do (not) find it odd that no one has suggested the massive, woefully inadequate, emissions choked, Cadillac 500 CI V-8
The Dodge Challenger. Yes, it looks good, yes it has ridiculous amounts of power. When you’re driving it, can you actually see anything? No. The sight lines out of it are atrocious. Passing on the interstate involves prayer. Driving in a major city involves having in-flight refueling options. As much as I love looking…
It’s the only car on their website. I checked. Can’t imagine they sell many of them...

My mother has asked me what to buy several times since I became an adult, and always bought something else. I don’t know why she even asks me. Back in the day Dad always had a 3/4 ton pickup. Mom always had a car. All of our vehicles when we were growing up were purchased secondhand. The 4-door, metallic avocado green…
Those stupid eyelashes for your headlights...

Dang! I wonder if I can keep the Volkswagon long enough to trade on something that looks like this...
I owned this one for five years before I had to get something “practical.” Yeah, I still kind of miss it. The Mrs called it my “mid-life-crisis” car. Never in five years did it need more than regular oil changes and tires. Absolutely bulletproof.
