I kind of agree with you, which is why I would pass on the hard top. I don’t know why you would say they are bad in the snow, though. I have driven various sports cars in the snow with no problem whatsoever. It’s all in the tires, my friend.

I saw one of these a couple of years ago (probably an earlier model), and kind of fell in love. It just looks so damn cool!

Frankly, I think removable hardtops are a PITA, but I live in Florida. If you live where snow is a thing, and you plan to drive the car there, then yes. Just remember that you have to put the damn thing somewhere when you take it off, and they aren’t exactly light or easy to handle.

THIS! This is a nice looking car and Mazda four bangers of the era are VERY reliable. The prices for these are going up, and this particular one can now be insured as a classic car, which comes with a guaranteed value price in the event of a problem (in this case I expect the insurance company would not balk at a…

Many years ago my company “gave” me my company car, a Nissan Stanza. I decided that I was going to give it new spark plugs, so I went to the auto parts store and requested plugs for the same. The guy said, well you need 4 of these and 4 of these. I said, no, four cylinder engine. He said, yeah, look at the back of it.…

A neighbor of mine,. who sometimes I think has more money than sense, bought one of these a couple of years ago to share his garage with 2 Jag XK 120's, an XKE and some kind of hot Porsche. He never took it to the track, just drove it around town when he has feeling feisty. He is kind of thin and not too tall, so he…

So, I got a lot of kickback on this comment, about how dumb I must be and how I obviously don’t have any idea what it is like to tow anything.

Taking a good look at this (from an OTR driver’s point of view), it seems to me that the guy driving straight through intersection was not paying attention. He should have seen the other guy making the turn, and stopped in order for him to have room to make the turn. The guy making the turn was well into the…

If the parking is angled, it is difficult to back into the spot unless you are driving the wrong direction in driving lanes. Pulling through to an empty spot in this situation is also moronic, as you will then be going in the wrong direction when leaving.

What I don’t understand about all of this is how did the driver of the RV not notice the drag which must have occurred. Seriously, what kind of RV has the power to, basically, drag this Jeep that fast?

This is relatively minor, but every since I totaled my PU truck, I find myself bracing my left foot hard on the footrest. 

NP, but I wouldn’t buy it because, automatic.

There is only one answer here, Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Hemi engine. I drove one across country a couple of years ago, and I have never been so comfortable at speed in a car. I liked it so much that I bought one for myself last year. Drove it from Baltimore to Florida, stopping only for fuel, and felt pretty great…

No one is looking at the “elephant in the room” that the EV’s present. When they become more prevalent, there is no way that the Federal and State governments are not going to figure out some way to charge road use tax. It’s just got to happen, and when it does, all of those people screaming about how cheap it is to…

Just like today, there were styling cues “borrowed” from other brands. The ‘55 and ‘56 Fords really didn’t look that different from the GM offerings. But, T Birds definitely had the “square” look all of the way through the mid 60's, when they ruined them with a four door. 

Am I the only one in the world who thinks the front end of these cars took their styling from the first gen Corvette? I remember the first gen T Birds, and these things did not look like them in any way, shape or form. At least when they “retroed” the Mustang, it LOOKED like the original Mustang.

Some time ago, for the first time in 30 years, I got rid of my pick up truck (well, to be fair, an Escalade cut me off and the PU truck was totaled). I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee (can you still call it that?), but soon found out that I really still need a PU truck for the occasional trip to the dump and Home Depot.
