It is just a beetle with bodykit. But a weird beetle that was only sold on Tuesdays in Kyrgyzstan which fell on the fifteenth of a month not ending in an r for one year in the early seventies. It had a slightly different wiper light placement, and there was a compass, which always pointed south, mounted on the gear…

An article about an old VW without a 2000 word in-depth analysis of the taillights?

Oh and being $4k underwater on the current loan doesn’t show the best history of rate shopping. Or they like 84 month loans.

That guy is a idiot, an asshole, and has no taste:

In all, that guy has absolutely zero business buying a new car or financing anything.

I will never stop being amazed at the moronic financial decisions people make.

No no no, but you don’t understand, I reaaaally want it. 

“The dealership dropped off a 2019 cx-5 GT Premium today and I LOVE IT. But the monthly is gonna be higher than I wanna pay.”

Well, I was on payroll here, during the Patrick George era.

“it’s teetering on Meh territory, if you ask me” ?!?
It’s not teetering on Meh territory, it’s founded a colony, displaced the indigenous peoples and announced Manifest Destiny then populated the entire continent of Meh from sea to fucking sea, introducing diseases and foreign flora/fauna along the way then developing…

Sorry for being sincere in the Jalopnik comments, but my love of the 1st gen Prelude is tangled in family history and a father who knew how to manage aerospace projects but cratered when it came to being a dad or a decent husband.

C’est “Le Ballon Rouge”

If its this one, sign me up!

FWIW, that’s a screen cap from a Beastie Boys music video.  :)

LOL, true. But that’s a wrap, right? I could take it off - everything looks cool when it’s black, and that’s what’s underneath the wrap.  And I would NEVER turn on those undercarriage lights. Plus, I’d put the stock wheels on so fast it’d make your head spin. Hey, this is sounding better and better!

Rip out the underglow, take off the wrap and polish the car. Don’t worry about the cold air intake because... really who cares. Put the original wheels back on it (and demand the aftermarkets as part of the deal). After you do all that...
