Yes, I do realize that I may be mentally deficient when I say this.
Yes, my spouse might no longer want to be my spouse for this, but this car would be the awesomest vintage vehicle to tow behind my bus.

Screw you modern convenience, I'm rolling with the 70's!

Years and years ago, I worked as a temp for a company that was converting an old plant into mini-warehouse space. Tucked way in the back of that sprawling complex was 1982 (I think) XJS.

It was beautiful, and the curves on that body were the stuff of happy happy dreams. I had the opportunity to buy it from the…

I have to vote for the Olds.

While the Jag is much prettier, it's also much more terrifying. The complexity of the roof, the monstrosity that is the sweet and glorious V12, the custom coachwork - terrifying. Just, terrifying.

So, the vote is for the Olds, 'cause the Jag scares me. (And yes, this is coming from…

"Err... Who am I? Where am I? And who is that loon with the mic?"

My vote is for the Big Ol' Orange Olds, and here's why:

Back in the day, there were two of these in my extended family and both owned by uncles. When they would visit, I'd get to ride in the rearward-facing third row seat, which was as good as riding in the bed of my father's pickup. Also, my grandfather owned a…

Why does that orange make my nether regions twitch in lust?

Let's hope the inevitable price premium for the diesel doesn't price out of competition.  I might be interested in a two or three years - if it stays affordable.

Nah, I'm sure there are folks out there who, like you, enjoy the way this car was visually designed.

Gonna have to vote CP. While a 9-second Civic can be fun on a dragstrip or open straightaway, DC has neither. Thus, this car has "Bad. Idea." stamped all over it.

Seriously. +1, upvote, share, like, chicken sacrifice - whatever is needed to make that happen.

Close-ish... Elgin.

THIS. I'm an American who wants a diesel pickup, but has absolutely zero desire/need to spend USD $60K+ on a truck that is way beyond anything I need.

Well said. On behalf of all of us convention-attending, cos-playing geeks married to another convention-attending, cos-playing geek, I say "Thank You"

I can say, for certain, there is one that commutes down Rt. 31 in the NW suburbs of Chicago. I keep hoping it will set itself harmlessly on fire to make my commute more entertaining. Plus, pictures. Video. Fiery Death (of a exceedingly expensive vehicle). Jalopnik uploads. Internet Glory. Foreva.... these are…

@Pauljones - to your unspoken question of what kind of bike/scooter she is on, I believe most of us will answer "what bike?"

If my employment situation had not radically altered itself two years ago, I'd be driving the black 2009 CTS-V I was going to be signing paperwork on when I got the call informing me I had no job, and thus, no way to pay for such awesomeness. Instead, I drive a '01 Nissan Pathfinder, 'cause it works. If I had my…

The R8 has always been a good looking car. This R8 is no different - it's a good looking car. It's not, however, anything special. I look at it, and all I see are Nissan Z/Altima/MB/BMW/Cadillac/Camry/etc design styling.

Well said. However, as someone who has driven a Series 3 for several hundred miles on one fateful rental car trip from hell, I can appreciate the Prius' similarity to a well-crafted toaster. It just works. It is not exciting, it is not thrilling. It certainly isn't a 1953 GMC 4104 w/ a DD 8v-71 and a 4-speed. It…

Florida. 'Nuff said. (and I live in the suburbs of Chicago, so I see my fair share of The Stupid (tm).)
