Jason, looks like you had the same amount of fun I had when I took my dad to the VA doctor a few months back. I had to wait in the car for 2 hours listening to all the male enhancement ads on sports talk radio. I should have thought of this game. Sadly, I just reclined my seat, cracked my windows, and tried to catch a…

This is the automotive journalism I come to Jalopnik for. What fun. 

You know what they say -- better insu-late than never.

There you go with reasonable facts and data to refute a story. Take your star. Still, this sure explains how so many people are driving around in $60k trucks. 

This one seems easy. Plymouth Prowler:

I’m the guy you aren’t talking about wrt sunroofs. I use mine every sunny day.

Bigger wheels as a premium option. Why? 18" standard is already too large - why the hell would you want even more rim and less tire? Ruin ride quality AND pay more for tires over time. 

I echo the Yaris hatch.  I rented one in FL a few years ago for a rainy visit.  The Yaris I rented was slow and delightfully unpretentious and it wasn’t much different (except safety nannies) than the ‘79 Corolla wagon I drove in high school many years ago.  But the real charm of that Yaris was the awesome single…

Our Hertz rental last month was for a Mazda3 or similar. Walked out with a Cadillac CT6, paying only the difference in registration recovery fee - like $20 over the 4 day rental.

One time, late on a Wednesday night after the track setup had been completed, I drove the Monaco Grand Prix circuit in a rental Citroen C1. Having a slow car (with a manual) meant I could pretty much go all-out without technically doing anything illegal, and this is without question the most fun I’ve ever had in a…

Reserved ‘Nissan Versa or similar’ from Enterprise at BWI. Agent said they were out of that class, but he had a Charger. I said, “Same money.” “Yup”. “V6?” “Yup.” “Hmmm, that’s nice, but a Charger needs some get up. Got a V8 Charger?” “Yup”. “Same money?” “Yup.” Rock on!

in this sector of the market, the key is to buy cars that are cheap to FIX.  They all break.  Crown Vic all the way to the bank

It's alot harder to hit 116 in a 30mph zone in a car with 200 hp

So much power and weight and the instant acceleration all just add up to stuff that seemed small is now exponentially worse.

I came to post the same thing. I expect it will take a 100+ MPH crash into a school bus before that becomes an honest conversation in any law house. It’s also wild that a (legally defined) child can legally operate a car that hits 60 MPH in under 3 seconds before they can smoke, vote, or drink.

I say this as someone who likes driving fast, who owns fast cars, and who is generally skeptical of adding more bureaucracy to our lives:

It's almost as if it's possible for both sides to be assholes.

OMG OMG OMG! Please have Torch testify. OMG. It’d be so spectacular!

It was an era of square cars, so I guess there wasn’t much room for variation. I miss boxes on wheels. The o.g. Xb might be the last we’ll ever see of it.
