@alexLmx6: As far as the MX-6, it's a very well-balanced fwd sporty commuter coupe, but honestly I prefer the looks of its American-named cousin:

@JackTrade: In the heady "less than 10-pages union-contract" days of the 90s, the Saturn SC2 was a fun, fun car to drive. Short gearing, light weight (~2500lbs) and enough oomph to get it up around 45 mph in respectable time. IIRC, it was quick enough to hang with all but the quickest of the Japanese FWD compacts. …
"Is the new Olds Toronado Troféo too futuristic and confusing for you?
"It is discrete"
Nearly 1000 comments and less than half a dozen dark green cars? Really? Does anyone here remember the 90s?
I had to vote CP on this classic example of "doing it wrong."
I lost a job over a black-on-black Porsche 911 turbo(996). To be fair, it was a part-time job in a donut shop where I worked each morning before going to my office job in the afternoon.
"My wife and her mother got me a set of bespoke cufflinks in the shape of Wankel engine rotors. Life is officially awesome."
@GeeHalen: I'm sharing this video. Reposting everywhere I can. This is amazing and it makes me wish I understood German.
This is one of the best PSAs I've ever seen:
@JackTrade: Your comment just made me drool again over the Tempest Sprint 6 (OHC) that I saw the other day - 66 or 67 with a manual (it was driving away and sounded wonderfully sewing-machine). The only thing visual mod were newer 15" rally II wheels — which are acceptable on nearly any Pontiac from 66-81
Only because I'm large (6'4" and about 300 lbs.), poorly proportioned, my feet are too big to fit in the driver's side footwell and I wouldn't be able to drive the damn thing properly. I know — I've tried. I had to deliver an NA Miata to a customer when I was selling cars because the sales manager who was picking me…
I actually had what happened to number 8 happen to a dodge omni with a swapped-in turbo I 2.5 with too much boost. I missed third gear while (stupidly) street racing a 5.0 mustang and heard "BOOM! BANG!" and the hood bowed out just like the one in the neon video. It wasn't my car, but the owner, a friend, was riding…
@cobrajoe: In that case, the Lumina is pretty inexcusable. Almost all, or maybe all repairs and maintenance for company vehicles are tax-deductible. Some repairs and maintenance for personal vehicles are tax-deductible, IIRC; at least that's what the accountant who did my parents' and my taxes said the last time I…
@adema135: I've done some of the same things to a Saturn L200 sedan that I received as a rental when my sister crashed my Concorde.
@MacGyver1138: Agreed — It took one afternoon and about $40 worth of supplies to turn my Isuzu P'up from "vandalized with nasty words after punk rock show" to "black as night"
@cobrajoe: It was a Lumina? I'm sure you've heard the cliché "A GM will run badly longer than most cars will run at all."
@Whitetrashsteve: Actually, it seems that Ford is not even trying when it comes to badge-engineering.
