Indeed. Those fans were far less insufferable.

Yes, there is no houndstooth anywhere near it. That’s the icing on the bama cake around here.
T-tops on a shooting brake, the 80’s sure were fantastic. Seriously though, the bottom car should have the shooting brake roof to be completely awesome.
Jeep. Death. Wobble.
#11 Harley Davidson “riders”. Not actual bikers, but the “Wild Hogs” on weekends. If there’s one thing that’s worse than being behind a coal rolling Dodge that’s blasting Florida-Georgia Line, it’s being behind a loud piped Harley blasting Foreigner..
I second this. I make a habit if I’m in a new area to pick up a few of the free books and check prices in the market. On American cars especially, Detroit has everybody beat by a long shot.
Owned the Plymouth version for about 6 months in college. The 2nd greatest moment in my life was that thing dying with a slung rod on the side of I-75 in GA..
Proof you can take the boy out of the South, but never the South out of the boy.
Last summer, I planned a marathon road trip with my dad to take us from NE Alabama to Central Ohio to watch the Saturday night feature of the Late Model Dream at Eldora. The trip had been planned for weeks, then our company planned a retreat to begin around the same time. Careful negotiations meant that I would still…
My wife’s 2013 SE (2.0t) FWD averages 23.5-24mpg all around. It’s not terrible, but keep in mind there’s always cargo in it and we live up a mountain. Didn’t drive a 1.6t, but that 2.0t will smoke the tires at will. Overall, we’ve been extremely happy and haven’t had a moment’s trouble with any of the technology…
Maybe it’s the snotty musician in me coming out, but whenever I buy a used car and the PO had obviously poor taste in music, I can’t help but wonder just how well that car was taken care of.
All it takes to get this from me is the opening bars of “Seven Bridges Road”.
My first car!! Sans the modifications of course...
Did that in a jeep in Grand Cayman. I just kept telling myself “left turn on red, left turn on red...” over and over.

Excellent post. I paid cash for my miata over 12 years ago and it’s my daily commuter. Even with some fairly significant repairs, I still haven’t even come close to the price of the cheapest new car. I did make an impulse buy on a used 4x4 truck around 10 years ago, but kept it well past payoff and it serves as my tow…
Cherohala!
