Not a prick :) I will amend my statement by saying any recent generation (possibly 8th and above) and obviously excluding the GR Corolla.

I’m going to say the Toyota Corolla. Pick any generation - it really doesn’t matter. It simply elicits zero response and exists purely as white noise in the background. How many did you see yesterday? I bet you have no idea, but I’m sure it was multiples. Possibly even double digits. Now, that’s not to say the Corolla…

You are a true Samaritan. I always view these as pitiful man-spreading expressed by way of accessory.

These stupid things fitted to pavement-princess trucks owned by little big boys with nothing to tow. But bigger is always better, right?

Anytime the Echo is mentioned, I can’t help but remember the weird tie-in promotion with Final Fantasy 8, which was a wild contrast between an utterly forgettable and boring car, space witches, and gunblades.

Sample size of 1, but the only positive thing I can say about Volvo plastic cladding is that it doesn’t fade. I have a 2011 non-R design C30 with the black plastic wheel arches (which is okay because the car is black) and they haven’t faded even with minimal treatment and plenty of time sitting outside. Not sure if…

I’ve never struggled or had too many complaints about the height of the rear bumper, but the pass-through shape of the rear hatch is certainly awkward and will inhibit ingress of things you wouldn’t really expect. Otherwise, you can fit a surprising amount of stuff in there with the rear seats folded down. Our other…

I own a C30 but any other (true) Volvo wagon deserves to replace it on this list. Even recently, the V90 and V60* are no longer available new in the US unless optioned in their plastic-cladded and lifted Cross-Country variants, which aren’t anywhere as sexy as the regular street-going models.

As a kid, I thought the instrument panel in my older sister’s 1984 Berlinetta was unbelievably cool. A fascinating amalgam of Knight Rider and arcade racer cabinets. I remember going out and sitting in it just to play around and push buttons. Everything else about the car sucked, but that panel was dope.

I do not disagree with this take, nor do I disagree with Pit Pat’s attempt to bring nuance to my previous statement, which I understand could be viewed as hyperbolic or narrow in focus. Cheers to you both - it was not my intent to come off as confrontational, and I think we all agree that people can suck and be…

I respect your point of view, but I would argue that cops are a ways off from being “just bureaucrats” hustling for a paycheck. Most of us engage in some level of bureaucracy in our everyday work lives without causing others undue harm. And most of us lack the power to ruin or end another person’s life, and be shielded…

Can you imagine being so completely and unflinchingly willing to fuck up someone’s life for a job with a median salary of ~$50 - $60k, just because somebody told you to? Proof positive that police don’t police from a desire to do good, but because they are sociopaths who enjoy doing harm.

Ad is already gone. $7,500 is an okay price, but the AMG badges and roof box that looks like a camping toilet need to go. This would look a million times better with a longer and sleeker roof box, or simply removed from its Florida-beige McMansion hell.

Or maybe just use the image recognition and AI search features on that latest and greatest phone. But no, I need a stranger on the internet to tell me what I’m looking at.

If this meant to be a jab at r/whatisthiscar, then kudos. By far the most annoying subreddit to start showing up in my feed.

$13,500 is bonkers for this Amphetamine Dream Machine. I don’t necessarily hate it, mind you, but it would look really out of place parked in front of my house. ND.

You lost bro? Let me help you out:

This guy’s eccentric shaft must be huge.

Genuinely didn’t know that Toyota kept the Paseo around until 1997. I do remember these and the Hyundai Scoupe being popular for a hot minute and then falling off hard. It’s neat seeing one in this condition, but it isn’t for me. I wouldn’t harsh on anyone who picked this up for nostalgia reasons, or just to have a…

This is a rare exception to the rule of “don’t buy somebody else’s project”. If I were going to build one of these, this is probably the direction I’d take it. The selling price is hard to beat and you’d come out ahead on parts and labor (either your labor or paying for someone else’s). NP.
