I have owned three cars, to date.

1. Jeep TJ Wrangler. This one only ever needed one name "The Jeep".

2. a Saturn SL2, standard, in dark green. I named this one "Junebug". I've always thought it was a great name.

3. a decrepit champagne/barf colored 1998 Buick Lesabre. This one has two names - "General" (for General…

It certainly looks pretty. I've been eyeing a Spitfire for quite a while, but I can't justify a second car right now (and I don't think a 40 year old British car would be the wisest option for my only vehicle).

I'm guessing you have to walk to the auto parts store?

Not sliding, per se, but I had my tires making some noise today, driving twisties in my Buick LeSabre. If that FWD land yacht can do it...

The true story of how Raphael Orloved his Beetle...

Hey Patrick,
I think some other people have mentioned this, but I'm going to toss in my two cents as well. I love Jalopnik. I read it daily, and I'm responsible for converting a number of my good friends to Jalopnik reader-and-commenter status. It's one of the most consistently useful, entertaining, and informative…

Now they just need to make a turbodiesel wagon version with a 5-speed.

The original Cozy Coupe was mid-engined, at least!

Hey buddy. My dad also fought Hodgkin's Lymphoma (Stage IV), so I know how you feel. I'm a poor college student, but I chipped in a few $ to try to make a difference. Keep us posted!

As a poor college student with my own car problems, I couldn't give much—but I contributed a few dollars to help this man's dream come true.

My dad fought Stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma several years ago, so this story hits close to home. Come on guys. Even if it's $5, it can make a difference. Let's make this happen.

The Car Connection is now irrelevant, because Jalopnik.

I appreciate the journalistic integrity. However, I think you should get to keep the car. That's just too cool!

'murica. I love this place.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what 443 pound-feet of torque looks like when you shove it through the rear wheels. Like speed and noise and smoke. Like a new pope was just elected out of the trunk. Like power.

This sounds like an absolute blast! I need to try this out sometime.

I was talking to the dad of one of my friends the other day. He's in his late 40's, and has a bunch of kids. He told me "When my last kid moves out, I'm buying an Ariel Atom. I just hope my eyesight will still be good enough to work on it myself!" (He'll be well into his 60's.)

This man is my hero.

I'm some kind of duke and I rally, so I guess I should buy a Lancia Stratos. That aside, I could have also taken the Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider or the Lotus Elan. The omission of a Triumph, however, is an absolute abomination.

My college not only forbids microwaves and toaster ovens in our room, but also forbids coffee pots and irons (so no grilled cheese). It's basically prison.
