The car should also come with a fake flimsy white racing helmet so you can wear it while driving to really go for the “I’m fast vroom vroom” shtick.

Damn that sucks, but seriously did your parents give you money? Like what do you even do for a living?

When you’re promoted from Limo Driver to Rolls Personal Chauffeur you are effectively becoming “higher”, therefore I accept this spelling.

As long as the color doesn’t start chipping off like it did in my Mercedes SLK.

The comments here are full of backhanded racism both ways. Not sure this article is helping with anything really. Just seems to be causing more division. I say don’t promote the “whitewomaning” or whatever else other races do that offend you. You’re just giving the ‘me first and the gimme-gimme’ types a larger stage…

Can confirm. Bought a Crosstrek new. Sold it 6 months later because of the lethargic acceleration. Even after wasting thousands of dollars on the down payment I would certainly not call it a loss. I was free and that felt amazing.

You’ve only “read about” cars pulling under braking? Yet you write for one of the most popular automotive websites in the world?

I designed and built my own “Technic” sets when I was around 11-12 years old. Somewhere I have printed photographs of them and perhaps I will scan them.

Later I found out the car used an actual cassette tape with…

Funny how only people who do not/never have/never will own a Lotus are the ones who joke about “parts falling off”...as if that’s an actual thing with Lotus. My Elise is easily the most reliable car I’ve owned in the last 5 years.

Someone on the Transit Connect forum recently did just that...6 speed manual and all.

Haha thanks, I liked it too. My grandpa bought it new in ‘86 and passed it down to me. Pop up ceiling with loft, working toilet and fridge and cold AC. 89k miles when I reluctantly sold it (regret).

Yes, 1970

One of my best childhood memories was my dad coming home from the Chevy dealership with a surprise purchase. A 1988 Pacifica Conversion van. The thing had a color TV! And curtains!
