@I_got_nuthin: I have always loved these. They're like twee, begullwinged MR2s!

@morphine500 - with added audi 5cyl: I nearly came.

The ideal car for a Hayabusa swap is, of course, any reasonably-lightweight vehicle you just happen to have around.

@forrest1: Definitely! But the 2.5 cars are considerably uglier. I'd say an '02-'05 2.0/automatic would be a good donor car.

@forrest1: The 1.8T cars are already great sleepers, particularly the Turbo S (it looks more aggressive, but it has a few tweaks). Actually, the later revisions (mid-production 2001 forward) respond quite well to an aftermarket chip, and in fact were underrated by about 10-15 HP from the factory.

@protomech: Haius!

@cesariojpn: Hell, it has "EZ" right in the name, so how hard could it be?

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: I think it's more of a Jaguar XF - trying to reinvent itself, while losing much of what defined the brand - and not becoming any more reliable even as its popularity increases.

@zeeboid: You know, that isn't bad at all. I might actually consider one in that cranberry colour, or maybe a dark blue - something I haven't said about a Chrysler product for a while. That grille looks surprisingly tasteful, even, especially given the probability of a hopped-up Pentastar behind it...

@Wolfy Kovac: Holes? Oh, you mean the anti-whiplash headrests with the holes in 'em? She does indeed - and being an '89, they're there for all four outboard seats (the rear ones were added partway through the '88 model run).

@Nürburgring: Agreed. You saw that smirk, too?

@Dawgvet06: Sure, but in my experience, 'give up' means 'shear off'. At least the Jeep should remain solid, though you'll have to soak, bludgeon, and heat up half the bolts to get 'em loose.

@Alfisted: For the same reason, I'd rather commute sixteen mildly-hilly miles to work in a forward-control Jeep than on a bicycle.

Nah, it's my car that I talk to - thanking her for getting me somewhere without incident, or cussing her out when something goes wrong for no good reason. I don't need a GPS - I (usually) have a map and a decent sense of direction.

Behind the wheel, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, and possibly Maine at some point (though I can't remember). As a passenger, add New York, Connecticut (though I'm heading to LeMons New England, hopefully), Nevada, and Arizona. This summer's Major Road Trip was unfortunately shelved until further notice.

@ranwhenparked: I'm not so sure. I think there would be frequent battles between Grateful Dead tracks at high volume.

@Jim-Bob- 348k miles and counting: Rusty frames aren't what Toyota used to be? That used to be their largest problem.

@Wolfy Kovac: Nope, it's Murilee's! My Volvo (here's a photo) is sticker-free, aside from the faded original tourist-car Sweden oval.
