I like how the entire dash and steering wheel are essentially all from the Mazda parts bin but re-branded as scion. It’s the exact same gauge cluster and steering wheel down to the patterns and materials found in my 2014 Mazda3. The only difference is the Scion Badge. But then, that’s a good thing because I fucking…

Kinja fail?

why does every owner of this car forget to close the hood. Its like walking around with your fly open...

I know they did it on purpose but i still hate the look.

Exactly. The gauges look like they came off the shelf of whatever big box store. The real tragedy is that some of the most beautiful looking dashboards in old cars were the ones that CAME with the cars. Not some generic cluster of round gauges stuck to a chrome plate. BTW, I LOVE those old packards. Beautiful machines.

I'm still a big fan of hot rods, but I like the more traditional hot rods and more subdued styling, after the gaudy period of the 80's, 90's and early 2000's there are a lot of tasteless hot rods still on the road. Thankfully, that style seems to be ageing very poorly and some cleaner looking cars are being built.…

As an owner of a non-hot-rodded classic I myself am sort of tired of "Hot rods" in general. To me so many of these look the same. Lotsa' chrome, ridiculous wheels, and paint that's borderline tacky.

Shortly after I graduated from college I was convinced that I could afford a used Porsche 911. My salary was decent and I was still living with my parents. Once someone a lot more mature than me started running the numbers on maintenance, insurance, taxes and repairs it became obvious I was delusional.

Use that shifter to brace your leg in corners!

Nice to see my ex got married.

Is it just me that thinks this or have all of the Jalopnik writers turned into gigantic pansies? Don't eat the street fish. Don't drift on TV. Don't speed in Virginia. Don't buy that salvage title Audi. Don't murder people from Craigslist. Well you know what? You don't tell me what to do, I do what I want.

Full forward footage, yay !

Dear Squids,

I know you feel confused. You just need to read slower...

Amirite?

Batshit babe?

That price also includes a whole lot of ugly at the back...

I think the real story here is that a 66k Kia is a thing.
