That’s just a good argument for not buying anything that can cost 30-50% of its value in unexpected repairs, financed or not.

So, basically, he’s a real life Colin Robinson.

Check out the 1972 911. Had an oil door on the rear finder. Story goes it only lasted a year for this exact issue

As I like harping—these chunky station wagons are simply wheeled boxes for which one is as lame as the next for how generic they look. Styling is Job None. They are all based on the “cocoon” experience—being above the traffic as the sound deadener, A/C, and 750 watts of stereo coddles you. But from the outside, you…

Uh, yes?

I was gonna say that it was the giant ass ugly grill, the saggy spoiler jowls, and massive double chin, that it [and every other car right now] has. But it could be the thing you pointed out, too.

Puns like this are why Jalopnik is going to pot.

Benoit? Balls?

I like to believe my house and cars are both pretty rad :)

NP. As to the “wet” photos - as a lifelong San Diegan I am 99% sure those photos were taken at any one of the dozens of City or State beaches in So Cal, which lure AZ residents in droves from May to September. See the “No Lifeguard On Duty,” the green metal trash barrels, and the body or water that reaches the horizon…

HE’S IN THE BACK OF THE CRUISER! GUNS OUT!

Ah yes, the Battle of the Mouse Belt. Made the battle of the Kuiper Belt look like a playground scuffle.

I was going to ask why the aliens stopped visiting us, but I guess they knew their bad take on automatic seat belts would disrupt peace in the universe.

If I remember back to biology class, sometimes when two wheels get together, sometimes the undesirable traits match up and low and behold something new is born.

I’m actually a bit surprised by the massive NP turnout on this one.  I had the ‘92 in black currant and testify that if maintained the paint on these was just incredible.  What makes me question the price is I sold mine in 2001 with 55k miles for 15k, but I guess that is a testament to how these older used cars go up…

Well, actually...

Wet T-top contest?

First, these are certifiably rad and this one is priced well. I’d definitely be interested. So NP there.

This restores some of my badly-eroded faith in humanity.
