Looks like something that WRX Granny would love! (has she been featured on Jalopnik yet?)

that seems to be an air freshener on the floor in the above pic.

Beater? It’s my only functional car!

For the speeds these guys run, NHRA is about 5 years overdue from requiring a front splitter

They are the last true gladiators

Damn that’s horrible looking. The front of that car looks like Kenan Thompson from Saturday Night Live making a funny face, but I can’t find the right picture on Google to illustrate my point.

When these came out I looked down on them as 944 knock-offs (as if I could afford either of them) but as time has gone on I’ve actually grown to like the way that they look more than a 944.

Not only is he still eating with them:

You’re the second person to comment in this thread about no knives or pots in the dishwasher, but I’ve never heard that before. I’m sure that you’re probably right, but I put everything in there and don’t worry about it.

No way! If he had someone to tell him which of his ideas are bad ones he’d never be able to do anything!

He’s by far my favorite Jalop writer. It’s because he’s a pretty entertaining and funny writer, but also because we all know someone like him—a well-intentioned guy who goofs up most of what he does, but every once in a while he can pull a rabbit out of a hat.

All of them. All of the shitboxes. A classic shitbox is still a classic, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that jazz.

I’d love to see Mini get into WRC and GRC. I’m more of a GRC fan and it seems like the only cars racing are Fords and VW’s, so ANY new manufacturers would be great.

People buy trucks all the time and never do more than haul groceries and kids with them; where’s your outrage article on that?

That’s funny. But at least you’ve got a soft top on it—all of ‘em I see around here have hard tops that never come off. And this is probably sexist or patriarchal or whatever, but “mom’s” car should be the one for hauling the kids around and “dad’s” car should be the little sporty car. That’s the way that it was when…

Such a good looking car. I don’t know about you, but the four-door Wranglers with hard tops have become so common around my town that for me it’s actually a surprise to see a real Jeep.

they’re the 4th most popular premium brand in the US and trending up.

Call this thing a Chevy Sonic and bring it here as-is. They could keep the Opel badge on the front and call it a Sonic badge (like they do with the Impala and maybe others I can’t think of right now) and a bowtie and “Chevrolet” somewhere on the back and it’d be better than any small car they have right now.

I’ve wondered about that too. On the one hand you’d think that they’d love it and give him some cash for the good publicity, but on the other hand they’d rather sell new cars instead of advertising that 20 year old Jeeps are something that people should buy. I wonder how much they care about used Jeeps and how much…

No matter how old it is, it’s always new to someone! I’ve never seen that before.
