This really torques me. Oh wait. It’s an Acura. It doesn’t.

From the amount of criticism I’ve been reading about VAG cars, specially Volkswagens, on Jalopnik and on Oppo I’m beginning to suspect US market and Brazilian market VWs are fundamentally different.

I cut my teeth on a Chrysler LeBaron. It...was a car.

In my case I went with the tiny Mirage. 22K miles so far, and still love the damned shitbox. Amazing mileage from a package (3-cyl engine + 5-speed manual, no fancy tech other than MIVEC) that I will be actually able to maintain 10 years into the future without having to take my daughter out of college.

What do I win?

In hindsight, the DB years weren’t nearly as bad in the beginning as they were in the end. Early DB years saw the axing of Plymouth, the spinoff of Jeep into its own entity, the rise of the Dodge Ram, the creation of some pretty great Viper models, and yeah, even the sales success of the PT Cruiser. Sure, Chrysler got…

This is one I’ll be shocked if the Jalop commetariat choose NP, but it is. Seems to be well done, and if your time is worth anything, you’re not going to build this for 25k. I’m sure there’ll be lots of “but I could just get a Subaru WRX STI” and build it up for that price” comments, but that’s not the point here.…

There was a cover band convention nearby. Casualties include 110 Johns, 96 Pauls, 103 Georges, and 82 Ringos.

The biker deserves a fucking medal and his reaction should be taught as an example of the ideal way to handle shit like this.

Easy question.

Can we talk about the shape of this humans head?

Go to whatever coin wash or drive through car wash you normally go to.

I have one of these and I live in NYC. It's fantastic. I have several private parking spots within a couple of blocks of my apartment, where no other car will fit (except the Smart, but there aren't that many of them).

I own a V12 Vantage, so right away I'm biased. A car journalist friend of mine parked the F-Type next to my Vantage and it is clear the proportions of that car are more Aston than they are Jaguar (though it clearly looks like a Jag and is beautiful). The F-type is not really Jag's new version of the E-Type, it's more…

We had an '88 Plymouth Voyager, 2.5L 4 cyl 5MT (yes, 3rd pedal!) with the sexy "wood" paneling that I took my driver test in. (I scored 100%, to the ironic annoyance of my father) That van hauled drum sets, choir robes, teenagers; it saw me to a Michael Bolton concert (don't judge, bitches, it was all kinds of 1991 up…

VBH threw one around Zandvoort on Fifth Gear last year:
