Aries - 1993 Subaru SVX

Eh, I still kind of get the point. Jim Rockford stopped getting a new Firebird every year because James Garner didn’t like this facelift.

For that matter, a better bustleback than its singular contemporary.

Hell yeah.

Hey! My neighbours own a mint early 90's Tercel, even being Rust Belt-adjacent (although, said neighbours also own a Dodge Journey, so I’d expect that to be the singular Journey on the road in ten years). Then again, basically any time you see a survivor (including the odd LH that’s still around), it’s old people to…

I never followed through to get a proper count, but something like 12 years ago, I went for a walk in my then-fiancee’s neighbourhood, and in less than a square mile found something like two dozen Saabs. No way most of them are left now, but apparently we still have enough demand to keep a singular Saab specialist in…

Kind of fragile, but not quite a beloved enough enthusiast vehicle to suffer any irritation? I expect to see the odd Giulia running around for decades (especially Quadrifoglios), but I’d almost be shocked to see a Stelvio on the road past the end of the year.

Doing well is relative - the smart fortwo and Mitsubishi Mirage sold in the low 20k range in a good year, the Honda Fit mostly sold in the 50k range yearly. I think there’s a small market for something like this (about 20k buyers a year), although I think it’d involve putting in a slightly nicer back seat and…

Hell, if you’re the right (wrong?) person, every 1 hour job is probably a 3 hour job. I installed a trailer hitch on my car a month or two back. Brand new car (so not dealing with corrosion or anything stuck yet), had all the tools I needed, had all the parts with the kit laid out neatly, instructions say it’s a 45…

From memory, Renault and Subaru have done the engine-mounted spare as well.

But more importantly, we learned today that the Infiniti J30 is a better truck than the Cybertruck.

May the Chevy Express live another 28 adequate years.

Anything with a V12 should be exotic and exciting, but you wouldn’t know it from what looks like a wiring diagram threw up in your Jaguar’s engine bay.

Only 0.5% of engines have failed *so far,* and we have no idea what the fix entails or if Toyota is going to offer any extra support or extended warranty long term.

The Hellcat specifically, for when you want a Charger or Challenger, but need room for like 3 hockey bags.

There's a couple Cummins 4 cylinders that'd be plenty, and more likely to fit.

We've spent decades building cities wrong, actively hostile to walkability, and I think on some level a lot of people pick up that change starts eith improving things for a relatively privileged minority who live in the few places scaled for walking, through hindering the rest of our access to those places. If they…

Any great cover list is incomplete without this.

That’s the concept that predates the LM002, and was vying for the same contract that led to the Hummer, I believe.

Outside of the ownership experience, they were very much an car (I liked the next size up, the Chevy Optra5, more). But, from working in a GM service department when they were still under warranty, all the GM Daewoo stuff was worse than even pre-bankruptcy GM (although the Aveo was the least problematic of the bunch).
