I bought one last year for the same reasons you listed. Clients respect it, can take to the track, under $10k purchase price for a good one. I’ve driven plenty of much newer cars that don’t have rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, one-touch windows. Love it.

If someone was in a headline-grabbing accident in a Tesla with autopilot on, would it be insider trading to buy put options before the news is released?

I posted the same video on a different article about the Daewoo Lanos earlier today. Great movie with great cars/car scenes.

He’ll take a plea deal

At least Red made the right choice in coming back to save Dale and Saul.

This happens stateside too:

I thought the West Coast liked big asses?

Mini is surprisingly low

Geez and I almost piss my pants hitting a divot or pothole at 80 mph. This guy is a champ.

I think the e39 and e46 are the sweet spot for BMW. Simpler, more reliable, and better-looking (IMO) than newer ones, but more powerful, better-optioned, and much less dated than older ones. Brand new cars don’t have many features I deem worthwhile that either of these cars don’t have.

a lot can happen while you’re pooping

the owner was a champ too, let numerous kids sit in the driver’s seat and take pictures

DeVito movies came out before my time but after a few more seasons of It’s Always Sunny I may have to go find and watch them. Dad’s favorite clip:

please tell me she puts the super super glue in the hat

No e46 M3, no 300zx Twin Tubo, no 3000GT, 924 rather than 944, Solstice rather than 350z, no bugeye WRX. Those all lost to an MK II supra??

They’re parked in frat/sorority parking lots at UNC and Duke.

Two people learned pretty quickly and easily on my bugeye Impreza RS. One was a girl I liked that I taught. The other was a fraternity brother who had to learn in a pinch when some of them borrowed my car, and the guy who could actually drive stick got piss drunk two hours from campus. It worked out.

I had a second-gen 300zx for my first car. Parents were probably dumb for allowing that since it topped out at 150. BUT it only had room for one other person and didn’t have cupholders so distractions were limited, and it never ran right so I learned how to wrench. Ideally, my kids will get a two-seat, manual car with…

First car had black leather, second cloth, third tan leather. Leather is better but don’t get black.

I kind of enjoy the errors. It’s a balance between the clear editing / fancy graphics of big time magazines and the crazy but helpful mess found on car forums. Jalopnik is just professional enough and just crazy enough.
