Having driven my sister-in-law’s HHR LT, I have to say that this one is CP but not by much. For the price you can get a lower-mileage example around Charlotte, without the risk of seven years of Ohio rust.

Hey Guys...

“Jeffrey.”

Ice Cream Truck for all the 90s kids. It played an integral part in the video and got an awesome new paint job.

A practical car for my wife. She likes practical things. Like a new Audi Allroad:

When I was in middle school (late 80s/early 90s) the “Cool high school guy” in my neighborhood had one of these in red/silver with an “OAKLEY thermonuclear protection” banner in bright neon early 90s green across the top of the windshield.

Whenever I hear a name starting with Cumber-

True, but the whole thing just seems shady as hell. DeMuro wrote about this before, too.

Old Volvos taught me that “Durable,” and “Reliable,” are two different things. I had two 240DLs and while they ran well, there was literally always something wrong with them. I was under the hood, or under the car, or under the dash or in the trunk with a testing light trying to find where something was shorting out,…

There are ads for straw buyers on my local Craigslist and I believe they’re probably on a lot of other CL sites, too.

I guess me and Lucy, we’re like friends with the Benedicts now.

There’s a guy who owns a little café near where I work and he daily drives a ‘cuda very similar to this:

I know. I know. Form follows function. But the 04-08 regular-cab long-bed F150 just looked wrong. The wheels are too far back to work visually.

Mr. Money Mustache is patently unrealistic to a lot of people. My wife and I share one vehicle, a Kia Soul that we bought new. We live 20 miles from work and just to get to public transportation we would have to travel at least 11 miles. Then we’d each be on a city bus for an hour to get to uptown Charlotte, and then…

I bought an 88 Volvo 240 for $600 about five years ago. The seller (who was clearly just flipping the car having bought it for under $500) didn’t know how to open the trunk. I found three headlights and an old CHERI magazine.

If I had $70k or so to blow I’d do that to a white diamond edition CTS-V sedan.

I had a POS Chrysler Concorde with the same issue. It had two mini spares and I put them behind the driver’s seat.

Take Rut’s Lost in Transmission and take away all the drama and “I can do this for $XX,XXX dollars bullshit. If it were about restoring cars that people love regardless of their flaws, then it could be an awesome show.
