Michigan DID approve recreational marijuana a few weeks ago, but I had NO IDEA the negative effects would appear so quickly.

You might be tempted to compare this to a Class C on a nice heavy duty Ford V10 powered chassis, but that wouldn’t get you a 4x4.

What did I learn the hard way?

Not gonna buy a car with a urinal in the grille.

I like the rims but the hood is beyond ugly, without spinning the dial all the way around to “so ugly it’s cool”. CP.

This is awful. Unforgivable. If the roads are dry, I want the option. That’s why I never buy convertibles with a vinyl top or a plastic rear window. Now Chevy’s off my list. I wonder if that little Buick is the same way.

Back in ‘78, buyng a Warlock or a Lil Red Express was how you told all the bears sniffing around that the lady in the passenger seat is your beard. At least that's what it seemed like, from everyone I knew that owned them...

First time I rode in a convertible was as a kid, in late fall, on vacation in northern Canada near the Hudson Bay. My parents borrowed their host’s mid 1960's Ford Galaxie 500 convertible for a midnight family cruise.

This is not a car for an insecure man, because “bitch basket” is the proper generic name for any convertible with a roll hoop.

No contest CP.

No contest CP.

I think this would be really cool at that price with an LS. I get that they worked their asses off to keep the four wheel drive system and keep it all BMW, but those don’t add enough value for me.

Regarding the Chevette, an ex-girlfriend had a brown four door that her parents bought for her. We hooned the shit outta that little thing when it wasn’t discreetly parked somewhere dark and quiet. She was convinced they would buy her a new Citation in a more acceptable color if the Chevette broke, but it never did

The only thing scary about the Mustang II is how much work it takes to get proper sports car performance. It is by far the best looking Mustang, as long as you avoid or remove the landau roof.  Unless you WANT to look like you and your mullet cut just came from the gym.

People used to say the same about my Triumph Spitfire. I didn’t buy a parts Jeep to drive either.

Lux Interior sure knew how to put on a show. And he had the most Jalopnik name ever, taken straight from an auto commercial. (His second choice of Vip Vop was interesting but too beatnik for me.)

My first new car was an 89 Colt E hatchback. I would have wanted the Eagle Summit for the 4 door sedan body style, but I was shopping for cheap and there was over 20% price difference between them at the time.

It needed upgraded brakes and radiator the day it was made. The wheels are a good addition. Tweed it not, the interior is a huge win. The new valve covers are neutral. Lowered springs are a small negative, and the air cleaner is a huge downgrade. The engine had plenty of metal for that kind of bore and stroke upgrade,

“OMG, that rear bumper is like my toddlers pouty lip”

I know they are weak, unreliable early smog era cars, but the Mustang II hardtop is by far my favorite Mustang. That coupe style is especially good looking. Never cared for the look of the hatchback. Mine had a weak four cylinder and wasn’t particularly fun to drive, but I still want another just like it. If I had
