NP - just because I have such a soft spot for these stupid things. The first car I ever had was a 93 Si in Samba Green. High school me thought it was the best thing ever. I had mine all through high school and college before garaging it at my parents’ house for several years with big ideas for stupid engine swaps or…
I can absolutely believe this. The most damage I’ve done to a car involved road debris and was enough to total my 99 Legacy turbo wagon. A vehicle in front of me clipped a stray water main cover with their tire, one of the smaller 8' heavy-ass cast iron ones, and sent it upright and barreling right at the front of my…
As the owner of a 2011 C30, I think the price is a little on the high side. Also, this doesn’t appear to be true Polestar, but rather an R-Design with the dealer-optional Polestar flash. If you’re in the market for one of these I think your best option is to start with the regular trim and build it to your own specs…
Mmm...naaah. At those power figures and with a price in the mid-twenties, I don’t really see how this is going to stand out in the class it will be positioned in. It’s not bad looking from a side profile, but the front and rear are a mess with the colossal plastic chicken-wire-textured inserts.
To revisit this sexy Swede featured here not long ago, the Saab 9-3 Aero SportCombi. A great looking wagon that can haul ass and family at the same time. Can even be had with a manual and AWD if you’re inclined. The top-shelf examples aren’t the easiest things to find unless you’re willing to travel a little, but…
My name and avatar might prove my bias, but I’d also put an RX-8 on the short list. Preferably a series 2, as they remedied nearly all questions about engine longevity by adding a second oil injector. An R3 version with stiffer suspension and Recaros is where I’d put my money.
I would also recommend Ecoprocote's Ec0-Tuff line of high traffic coatings if you are considering epoxied floors. I work in the green building supply industry and always get fantastic feedback on their products. They offer a whole line of non-toxic & DIY friendly concrete etchers, sealers and stains that you can mix…
Worst thing about that commercial? The music from M.I.A. - who I used to have a lot of respect for. Now she's writing songs with played titles like "YOLO" and shilling for car companies, and for a product as boring as the Nissan Rogue no less.
Represent! If you ever see a bright red Raider go ahead and wave, because it's probably me!
Very amused by the timing of this article. I actually JUST bought a 2007 Raider yesterday. Super low miles and in excellent shape for thousands less than a Dakota of the same year and spec. So far, it's a good and honest little truck — has everything I need and nothing I don't. I live in Louisville, which is saturated…
I grew up in a family with one of these. I consider myself an abuse survivor.
In the early 2000's, my dad's employer raffled off two of their company cars. My dad won a loaded 48k 1998 Sable after buying just one ticket. He didn't need it, so I agreed to take it.
Come on man, you just don't understand. It has stuff guys like.

I see this bone being picked a lot, but let's look at Audi. They sell a ton of A4s with engines of similar output, to the point where they discontinued the 3.2 because of such low take rates. Nonetheless, the A4 enjoys runaway sales and has attained unargued status as a genuine sports sedan. I would speculate that…
Man, Two Girls One Cup wasn't even quite this bad.
Millennials...surprised they didn't describe this. Exactly this.
This. Pretty much.
Jason, thank you. For weeks now I've been trying to rationalize why I hate this commercial so much. Everything in it, from the stupid music to the over-enunciated roll call of Scion's lineup is just horrible. And maybe it's just me, but the women all seem bitchy and exasperated about having to tell us what kind of.…
My 04 RX-8. Every now and then I get the itch for something new, but I'll never be able to bring myself to get rid of it. With the future of all gas-fired rotaries looking bleak, I'd just as soon keep it forever, so 40 years from now I can show people there was a actually a time when cars were interesting. It will…
