The ME412 especially hurts because it was apparently more or less production ready, but struck down by German interference. 

Listen, some people have a long way to go and a short time to get there.

Ooh, these are good ones. On a similar, but more mundane, idea, I’ve seen a few British YouTubers make reference to JLR using shared engineering signoff requirements, or something to that effect, and that modern Jags are effectively subject to similarly rigorous testing to Land Rovers, and are quite sturdy as a result…

Because it was illegal, right up to about the point we hit adulthood, but don’t go checking to confirm exactly when it was repealed, just understand your parents would *never, ever* lie to you, even just to end a stupid argument.

Something the that big as just a two-seater is stupid, but other than that, whoever is behind the Vacationeer needs a promotion because the Wagoneer finally looks cool.

Ray, if someone asks you if you like Ghostbusters 2016, you say Meh!

Likewise, the C5 Corvette is just a touch too generic 90's blob - great car, important to the Corvette as a whole, but you’re probably not buying it for the styling (especially when the C6 exists).

Although, the idea that the Days Go By woman would be driving an Eclipse Cross today isn’t that big of a stretch.

Right now, $263 biweekly on a CX-5, which isn’t terrible, although it’s more than twice what I paid on the Mazda2 it replaced (that was about $190/mo, albeit 7 vs 5 years), although I’m also making more than twice what I did then.

On one hand, expecting any multi-millionaire to have sensible takes on budgetary concerns for normal people is borderline delusional.

Very much so, although the Mustang feels like it’s stayed a little closer, where basically every generation but the Fox body has had at least something harkening back to the original car (if nothing else, vertical 3-section taillights), and the Fox body was at least a perfect spiritual successor to the original if not…

I’m stretching a bit here, but considering 5th to 6th gen is very minor change except the downsizing, 4th gen to modern Camaros is a huge jump (and yes, of course 5/6 are meant to recall 1st gen, which then had a big change to 2nd and 3rd gens).

Reminder that for most of the Blazer’s life (and really, all of the TrailBlazer’s life), it was a kind of middling SUV with cheap interiors (GMT360's got great engines, but still cheap). It’s unrecognizable from the modern versions, but this is what we’re mourning.

I find Kinja way more agreeable if you start typing out a comment before adding a picture. But yes, the new Trax looks a ton better (and props to GM for making an affordable car that they don’t seem hellbent on penalizing you for buying something reasonably priced).

I thought a few years back to the 2.slow days (sturdy, reliable, but also slow), but yes.

A) They aren’t $50k+ forever

Cosigning on Lexus drivers* - they’re not so much fancy Altima drivers as fancy Toyota drivers, so all the same bad behaviours as the Corolla drivers above (or the Subaru Forester drivers also above), just oblivious, but they’re probably convinced they’re great drivers because they don’t speed.

Was he Hugh New South Wales before the apocalypse?

I'm not even sure it's the coolest name/state name when Johnny Utah exists. 

Fair enough, I’m a bit north of you (up Weston), and our local issue seems to be more people checking unlocked cars for anything worth snatching (neighourhood FB group reports the occasional theft, but certainly not prevalent enough we’re leaving cars unlocked).
