That's a funny lookin Tuareg. Nice interior though.

You beat me to it.

The exhaust on my Grand Marquis rusted off right behind the cats. Sounded awesome. Didn't realize it but I had been doing about 80 mph with the exhaust dragging... OOPS! Had to get it fixed at that point :(

I personally think the Malibu took a step back in terms of style (can't say much else about the car). The exterior was clean and conservative. But especially the interior. This just looks newer and fresher and that color combination is gorgeous, especially with the metallic black exterior. Look for it next time you

Thanks! I love the interior too. It (and the whole car) is a blessing and a burden. I'm pretty sure nobody makes reproduction vinyl roofs in that color and I'm positive they don't make those seat covers anymore. And the car as a whole is too original to mess with. It definitely needs a front end rebuild. Thinking

My classic old man car is a 72 Cutlass Supreme. Bench seat with arm rest. Cover beige paint (that seriously is the name), covert beige vinyl top, and covert gold paisley cloth interior. 350 4 barrel, column shift automatic. And a suspension that seems like the springs are softer than marshmallows and they used coat

You're preaching to the choir. Tell it to the guys who do that. And let your female friends that there are guys like me who are gentlemen for the sake of being nice, not because we think you can't open the door for yourself.

Wow. Somebody's got something in the wrong orifice. Don't think of it as identical. Think of it as a possible evolution. Like the way the Corvette C4 led to C5 and then to C6, or 3rd to 4th gen Camaro. Or a new retro take on an older car like the Beetle, Camaro, or Lancia. Enough of the same or similar elements are

How about Maluch? The Polskie Fiat... Fiat 126P...

Trabant?

It's sad when women can't take a compliment or take random acts of chivalry as insulting. We are holding the door for you to be nice. Not because we think women are so helpless and can't do anything for themselves. We tell you you are attractive cause you are, not cause we just want to stick it in you.

The thumbnail got me excited thinking it was a mid engine conversion. Otherwise, why? What's the point? Sure in 84 you couldn't get a convertible, but these days I would just get a factory IROC-Z convertible manual. Legit unmolested rare and probably cheaper by a long shot.

German car snobbery, particularly BMW and Porsche. In their mind anything else is a Trabant.

ATS?

I've heard that too. I'm considering a TDI given the current 0% financing, but the horror stories I have been hearing of HPFP failures very early on (few hundred to few thousand miles) and the dealers blaming the fuel does worry me. I'm hoping they have that worked out and that it was maybe more an issue of

I like a lot about the Model S. The one thing that really bothers me is that interior. Tablet shoved into a generic expanse of dash board would kill the driving experience for me. It's just so poorly integrated; big rectangle in an otherwise curvy car. It's one of those things that 10, 15, 20 years from now is

I think the Germans might have changed some street names in Poland in 1939. Find another street in the area to rename.

Yea. Let's show 'em how it's done!
