When I was 18 I came THIS CLOSE to convincing my parents to buy a new Vigor 5 speed.

Great car at the time, and I still give them a second look on the rare occasion I still see one.

Now THERE is a guy who can wordsmith. Half his comedy is in how he constructs sentences, and damned if he doesn’t bring his A game every time.

You still haven’t parsed the article, have you?

Seriously. The automatic motorized tilt column is one of the few interior bits on my e39 that has never failed. Hell, if BMW can make it last...

Read the damned article next time.

Go down the Mississippi River to where Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa meet. Repeat as necessary.

Wow. For some reason I never noticed how much F-Type is in the Miata’s rear quarters.

I’m late to the TV on the Radio party, but if there were ever a Jalopnik-friendly TV on the Radio video, it would be the one equipped with Paul Reubens, Karen Gillan AND a Lucra LC470:

I’m not exactly sure what to do with that information, other than to think that we both probably had a better day than some poor schmuck at the store.

We have a winner! Shit like that is why the PT Cruiser got classified as a truck.

You don’t have a car; you have the automotive equivalent of sticking your #$#% in Crazy.

That looks like a poor repair more than anything. Hey, I love to bag on GM panel gap as much as the next guy but that...even that wouldn’t have left the factory the day after the UAW holiday party.

I think.

Oh, so like just about every single other sedan in this price class, then.

Mike Mulligan was PISSED, too.

What sort of safety standards beyond what are already present would you like to see implemented? I ask with complete sincerity, as your statement doesn’t appear on the surface to be very well-informed.

e39 owner checking in to disagree.

Anyone else become a master at the Big Wheel side wheelie?

Anyone? Just me? OK, then.

The Big Wheel proved to five year old me that front wheel drive could be fun...I just didn’t know it then.

It’s a 30 year old 767 with dozens more sitting in long term storage in the desert, if they need to replace it. This one is beer cans.

Aw, crap; what if the Marines get wind of this? They’ll want a VTOL version for their cute little helicopter ships.

Wow.

That’s...that’s all I’ve got for this one.
