Had one in high school, bright Samba Green. Slow with unforgivable body roll, but god that was a fun little car. Parked it for about 8 years with plans to turn it into a project car but sold it to my nephew for almost nothing on his 16th birthday. I wanted to see him enjoy it like I did. He wrapped it around a…

I can't believe the amount of hatred I have for this one small light. To begin, it more or less trains people to not even think about their tires or the amount of pressure held within. If by slight chance they even know what the light means, they might just manage to air up in a few days. You know, whenever it might…

In a perfect world - take the 3 rotor Renesis from the Furai and and make a 6-based successor to the sheer badassery known as the Cosmo, in turn allowing Mazda to keep the rotary eligible in motorsports.

I love how people who clearly have no regard for the law or the safety of others can act so effing indignant when they finally do get pulled over and ticketed, as if…

60's - the Studebaker Avanti. Nobody would have expected this from a near-defunct automaker already in their death throes. A unique all-fiberglass body designed by Raymond Loewy, entirely coach-built, an interior that looked cooler than an airplane cockpit, and an available Paxton supercharger. Not to mention it was…

For the 90's - the Mazda/Eunos Cosmo. The first and only commercially available 20B three-rotor with twin turbos, not to mention a whole slew of electronics and driving aids that were truly ahead of their time for a production vehicle. The world had never seen anything like it, and probably never will again. I suppose…
