I certainly don't understand the motivation to boycott BP at all. I think they're fairly aware how pissed off EVERYONE in the country is at them and do not think that they're dragging their feet on the cleanup / capping effort. Hell, even though gulf residents are not being reimbursed fairly, I believe it's the feds…

sure that wasn't a tundra?

@spiegel1: wow, that guy was lucky!

@Trevor57: if i knew this guy, i'd put an actual jesus fish on there and see how long, or if he ever, noticed.

@spiegel1: oh god, they're awful on anything.

@AMG=OMG: yeah, but they're relatively timeless as they've been going strong for at least 30 years now with no signs of stopping

well executed, but needs more powah!

i'd rather have an xj220, but it looks like the price is back up over 200k :( should have bought one when they were in the 150s. ah well, guess i have a place to live now instead.

@Ralph Wiley Is Poised: Well, I personally either roll through a stop, or if there are other cars, will always put it into neutral, even with my conventional throw-out bearing. The carbon block was not intended as a cost saving measure, but rather eliminated the issue of having to spin the throw-out bearing up to the…

@gman1023: Well, one of the interesting things I've found about cars that require a lot of regular maintenance is that they end up being more reliable than cars that use "lifetime" or "sealed" parts that can't be maintained. A sealed ball joint will eventually fail - a grease-able ball joint that's kept properly…

@Ralph Wiley Is Poised: No, not at all. The block is large enough and wears very little, to where it's fine as long as you don't ride the clutch pedal. If you sit at stop signs and traffic lights with your foot on the clutch, instead of shifting the car into neutral, then you WILL wear it out. If you simply use it…

@gman1023: the perception of poor reliability with the e-type is a bit of a "myth." while they broke down a lot, it was because they need a LOT of regular maintenance (greasing body fittings, etc...) and most garages in the US at the time really had NO idea how to work on them, and they weren't really suited to…

@jip1080: You could probably buy 15 of those for the price of the Toyota. The coupes / 2+2 e-types are not worth all that much.

Seems like everytime I hear the looks of one of these described, it's always qualified by "for a Japanese car." I can see how this is one of the few collectible cars from a Japanese manufacturer, but it's appearance seems to fall short of much cheaper European competition. I'd rather have an XKE roadster for less than…

some of the tracks in the various wipeout games were pretty frickin tough. it's been so long since i've played them that i can't remember which were the worst, though.

@modisch: I believe the Liberty was supposed to be the direct replacement for the Cherokee. It's hard to imagine a bigger case of fail (although, it was neat that you could get a diesel version for like 1 year).

@darthchurro: Whatever - I had a '97 3.5 that made it to about 189k miles before my mom clunkered it. Interior survived just fine - if we had replaced the subframe bushings it would have driven great, but rust was starting to eat away at it. Overall, though I'd have to say it was a pretty good car. Plus, the 2nd gen…

@YankBoffin: gotta agree with you - scooty puff sr - the doom bringer was definitely a LOT better

wow, definitely some good picks in there! I wanted to say the E30, except it was a "2nd gen" (maybe 3rd, if you want to say it came from the 2002). The E30 M3 is a great 1st gen pic, though. The E-type, Miata and Celica are other great picks too.

pshh, that's nothing. I once saw an ad for a VW "Thing" I mean, come on man, at least figure out what you're selling!
