I thought that was a funeral pyre.

Seen here in its nocturnal habitat, the Bavaricus Maximus variety e39 awaits a new day. Rarely viewed in this form with its engine access point in the closed position, e39 has formed a symbiotic relationship with its fellow garage inhabitant, Wagonus Flexi. Ever eager to please, Flexi is all too happy to retrieve the…

There are a lot of good cars out there that one can buy at under 10k. But why not buy one with history, pedigree, and an iconic status that is universally loved the world over. The Model T put the world on wheels and finding a roadster for 7,500 makes this T worth every penny.

I’m not sure where you’re going with this question, but I’m scared.

Granted it’s a few years old but hey.

It can be seen as American independence from Great Britain, but also a release from Great Britain of America.

I would the Wrangler as it moved from CJ->YJ->TJ->JK. With each generation you have a popular vehicle that was loved by its clientele who also seem to hate change, so the current generation is always the “last of the true Wranglers” when the new one comes out. And then everything repeats 10 years later when they…

A fragile glass canister to take along in a off-road trip? One for which you need special filters, a separate entity to heat up water, which presumably needs to double as something to pour said heated water?

Folgers is gross.

Mmm. Were your tastebuds burned off by said hot water?

It seriously is just pointier. Still love it though.

I won’t even drive Japanese or American cars that some people love. Chinese cars are probably some of the worst in the world. That however does bring up an interesting concept. Once the Chinese are actually able to penetrate into the world car market what is that going to do to quality of all the commodity cars? When…

I think Consumer Reports harshed on it too.

Versa?

The Mirage is a hateful little shitbox. I get cheap and cheerful, but it’s just cheap. The panels feel like beer cans, the paint is really thin, the dash and trim panels seem to be made out of the same plastic as they make the carrying cases for cheap power tools, the engine sounds and goes like an angry sewing…

The Honda Fit because I bought one. It’s a freaking Honda, comes with a ton of features that you can’t even get in some cars at double the price, crazy good on gas and it’s not a hybrid. Win, win, win, win. Game over man! Game over!

Emissions regs had been tightened not long before, and the automakers hadn’t yet figured out how to make engines work properly under the new restrictions.

It’s almost as if there were 40+ years of development since then.

People never get tired of saying stupid stuff about the Prowler. What V8 were they going to put in there, exactly? An iron 318 or a 360 boat anchor? Only a four speed auto? Hello genius, this was more than fifteen years ago, a four speed auto is what they had. This was a 255 horsepower car in 1999 that only weighed…
