I have seen a few for sale on the Charlotte craigslist. They didn't sell that many and most people want to keep them. Go figure...

I just thought of another one: The Lumina Z34. Back in the 90s they were everywhere. They were all either black or red with the fakey hood vents. A friend's dad had a 5-speed one that seemed to never want to quit. I stopped seeing them about ten years ago but today while I was walking the dogs I saw one go by. …

Here's a picture of a good example.

True story - Last July, a good friend of mine traded in his 1996 Corsica on a 2012 Kia Soul. It had over 300,000 miles on it and was still running, albeit with a leaky head gasket. I saw it a few weeks ago (it had a distinctive mark on the trunk where a uniquely shaped sticker had been) and it's apparently living in…

My mom had a two-tone gray-and-silver '82 LeSabre with the eggcrate grille and the 4.1 V6. It ended up overheating all the time. There's a tan one sitting on the side of the road near a construction site near my home.

I'm right with you on the Malibu wagons. A friend of mine had a very late model (83

Irony defined: Blasting Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son" while mowing down "rioters."

FR-S Shooting Brake?

The $1000 M3 sounds a lot like a variation on the "Wife gets rid of Husband's Corvette, Mom sells soldier son's sports car" urban legend. Pics or it didn't happen

But Jalopnik's Beloved Volvo 240 has a narrower rear track than front.

I agree with your point vis-a-vis the Rio. The Forte is just as bland-derivative-standard-compact-Asian styling as any other. This one sort of looks like a Forte sedan.

I still see mid-80s tercel wagons around Charlotte — more frequently than Honda Civic Wagovans and pre-Legacy Subaru wagons.

Someone brings his Iso Grifo 7 Litri to Food Lion AutoFair every year. Red over tan, like a proper Italian sports car. When I retire, one will be in my garage.

Really fast, really cool, but still looks sort of like a KIA...

Am I the only one who noticed the Chevy Astro Van in the pits?

Also, his family already paid for funeral expenses — sounds like he's not an asshole. This guy was an asshole: [www.vaildaily.com]

I wholeheartedly agree with this one. When I first saw one — I was in second grade — I thought they were the coolest things on the road. They looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. My grandma's then-new Century Wagon was instantly an old-lady car. My grandfather's Grand Marquis was stodgy. The Sable, with…

To me, it always looked like someone took the giant cartoon hammer to a New Beetle...

Keep in mind that this is based on a survey of private owners, not fleet managers. If you were to take fleet accounts into account, then the number of pickup trucks and vans would be skewed much higher.

in 1969, at the height of the muscle car era, the #1 single of the year was the Archies' "Sugar Sugar."
