I had a 1979 K5 Blazer with a four inch lift kit, knobby tires, dents, faded paint, mismatched tailgate and a ton of attitude. Everyone gave me a wide berth when they saw me coming. I could whip that thing into a parking spot like it was a Volkswagen. For the record, I’ve had zero accidents and no moving violations…

Love this look. I hope that MB starts giving each class their own distinctive style. Past C class cars looked like awkward, downsized versions of the E class. Audi is guilty of this as well, making what looks like the same damn sedan in three different sizes.
You know, I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Shakespearean porn parody called Much Ado About Nuttin’ as it seems so... well, obvious.
Black is inconvenient enough as it is. Matte black means hand wash only and specialized chemicals for paint protection. You have to love your car and be willing to put the time into maintaining the finish yourself. Or pay for professional detailing. If I owned Mr. Vengeance, I’d bury it in the garage and only bring it…
Mr. Vengeance nailed it with his Camaro. The want is strong with this one.
Looks like I’ll have to ditch the Miata if my wife gets relocated to San Diego. (She dreams of living there)
Actually, I’m totally jealous because I live in a whooooole lotta flatness. I take long drives to visit family in GA though, which with a little detour means I can hit the Tail of the Dragon. Worth the extra time.
This owner appears to be selling his car in Houston, so I’m betting he hasn’t had an issue with the Texas EPA. (if there is such a thing)
I agree with you in that there’s no reason to be dirty to make a car faster. Unless want MOAR POWAHHH! That, of course, means cramming in more fuel and air and some serious skills programming your ECU. My 1979 Corvette didn’t have an ECU. It barely passed emissions before I sold it to buy my 91 Miata. I modded the…

Stef Schrader is clearly an only child.
The 240z was in many ways like the 1st gen Miata. It was an inexpensive, well made and reliable sports car alternative to the British and Italian offerings. It borrowed some styling cues - or in the case of the headlights they just plain stole them. The Miata did the same with its Alfa door handles and Lotus Elan…

My wife and I are getting one this month. I’m happy with it. Not thrilled, but this is a car for getting around in comfort and carrying stuff. We need all wheel drive in winter and it has a FWD mode to save gas. At least she didn’t get the amethyst purple paint. Nothing says “It’s my wife’s car” like that color. Then…
This car was a major contributing factor to my buying the Acura TL. I know. Not at all the same, but I think Honda’s styling inspiration came from the Alfa 159 and it’s the some of the best money I ever spent. Over 10 years and 100k miles with most of it needing only gas, tires and oil.
One thought on infotainment - allowing one company to develop the system effectively shuts out the other.
You can buy an Aston from us. You can pay cash. We’re still going to put a badge on the back to let the world know where you got it. It really is just like buying a pleb Honda after all.
