Remember when driving cars was exciting? You never knew if the car would start, or catch on fire, or if a tire would just blow? Remember when mysterious noises and smells was just the price of owning a car? Nowadays, with your Camrys and Lexi, you go 200k miles with nary a squeak or puff of smoke, just change the oil

The Sportcross was the perfect stealth sports car, in silver, because it was almost invisible to cops and thieves; in yellow, not so much.

Co-worker: “Wow, it’s too bad Honda never made an Accord this cool.”

Auctioneer: “Apologies, ladies and gentlemen. The opening bid was supposed to be $13M and not $30M. My mistake. The bidding will be reset to $13M. (points to man in crowd) Now sir, your last bid, I believe, was for $69m?”

I can see what they are going for but without a RWD setup it’s just for show.

So if I bought a Bullitt Mustang from Ford, it’s not THE Bullitt Mustang, which itself isn’t a Bullitt Mustang, just THE Bullitt Mustang. 

Let me guess: they are already sold out.

That’s how I felt when I heard that the 1986 Accord had a shooting brake verison.

High-efficiency electric motors are great; what is really need is efficient dry-cell, eco-plus batteries that can cut the weight of a standard battery by around 70%. Once this happens, EV will really “take off” (rim-shot).

20 years later, people still blaming minor character for prequel’s lazy writing, questionable casting and pointless storyline:

To keep the balance, everyone who buys a Nissan Leaf must also buy an 11-mpg Roush Performance Stage 3 Mustang.

Topo Gigio was a very cute character.

This might void the warranty. Not sure.

Sheeple: That’s racist!
Betty White: Thanks for remembering I exist.

I imagine the FR-S would have been #1 if Toyota/Subaru had turbocharged it, like they were supposed to.

There are worse...

This car has spent it’s first 140k as a smooth operator; cruising the harsh streets while keeping the occupants in luxurious comfort. Time to let it have it’s fun.

$3ok for a car with exposed door bolts. C’mon!

I always thought how the taillights gave the impression of the Union Jack was a neat design touch.
