Chrysler/AMC of that era knocked a whole bunch out of the park. The K-car, minivan, Grand Cherokee, XJ Cherokee...

Because we like evolution.

Well, technically the XJ had some pretty bad engine and transmission options to start with. The 2.8L from GM was a crapbox, and the 2.5 was underpowered. As for transmissions, the t-5 was fine, but the BA-10 trans was pretty awful (though, admittedly, that didn't come until 87). In 1987, they got their stuff together…

1966 Oldsmobile Toronado. Started out as a sexy, muscular, luxurious grand tourer.

Hahaha, definitely at the bottom. Whether or not it is a curve (or a zero pulse flatline!) is up for debate though!

"oh shit, lower the volume dude hurry!"

Human Factors Engineers Hate Him!

What the hell are you talking about?

Truth be told, when I go to Manhattan, I almost always park for free on the sides or in the Village somewhere.

Your regular liquor store does not text you when they get Pliny the Younger in, because they don't get it in.

I never understood the "hate" (or whatever you would like to call it) for the Boston accent or any of the more specific cultural tendencies. That was damn near the best part of the show. The accents, the jokes, the specific humorous things they'd come up with about living in the north east in general...I loved it. …

My love for cars was incubated in the warm weekend mornings at my family's home in New England, sitting in the back yard, helping my dad pull the engine, out of our VW camper and do whatever it was that needed doing, while Click and Clack played in the background. Laughter was always a part of those mornings, and that…

I used to mow lawns, do gardening, and move heavy things around for rich old ladies on Sundays... it was a monotonous job that I looked forward to because I had Tom and his brother Ray yappin' away in my headphones.

It's a bit awkward angle of it. Imo it looks pretty damn cool.

I'm not even in the market and I am constantly checking out what is available on AutoTrader and how many of them I can get with a manual. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

1) That was sarcasm. I don't know anything about Porsche's future plans.
