Seems like you also hate starting your sentences with capital letters.

I owned a 2000 GT-S from new from June 2000 to June 2020...when a deer took it out. 246,000 miles? It’s just getting warmed up, I got 382,000 from mine before the deer. These photos taken just before that, and you can see I kept it looking brand new inside and out for all that time. I replaced my clutch at 176,000 and

Regardless of whether 911s are overvalued or not, this seems low priced and fishy. Stock 2001 Turbos are going for $69k (nice) based on a couple quick dealer listings found. Why is this being sold for nearly $15k less than what dealers want for stock? Do these, seemingly quality, mods lower the value that much? Is

Yeah, I was expecting a deep dive on frame rust and engine sludging as part of a rather short list, as major car makers go, of actual problems.  Instead we mostly got aesthetic preferences and the odd product-planning misfire that resulted in disappointing market acceptance.

I feel like calling the Echo a bad car is completely missing the purpose of what it was for. It was incredibly cheap, basic transportation with a good warranty and outstanding reliability. If you just need a car as an appliance and need it to work (and cheaply), it is a great car.

I have 4. Want a new friend?

I4 from a Cayman/Boxter? You mean flat 4 that is probably way too wide to fit in the front of a Mecan so they couldn’t use it if they wanted to?

“I don’t recall Porsche making a turbo four-cylinder.” Porsche doesn’t.

All hail the return of the SUS (sport utility sedan)! Maybe this is what the next Legacy/sibling will be.

HOV lanes don’t cause traffic to back up in other lanes. If the HOV lane was converted into a “normal” lane, traffic wouldn’t move any faster because of induced demand. But, by having an HOV lane, it does typically ensure faster travel times for people/vehicles that are able to take advantage of it, excatly because

Why?

I had a jerk boss who was looking for a sports car in the early 2000s.

I've been in the same situation as Depp and feel elated with the verdict.

“And yet, the scars of seeing how truly cruel the court of public opinion can be for any self-identifying woman who alleges abuse and assault are indelible.”

This is a great day for male survivors of abuse who have never had a voice before.

Yeah, right. How many Avenir’s have you seen on the road that look like this?

I’ll stop you there. Buick will not, in fact, make a 2-door liftback. Only Cadillac sits above Buick in making design studies that will not resemble any actual production model.

About the only meme you need to know about this.

If you haven’t played this game, you are missing the fuck out. 

I remember pointing to the ludicrous nature of the Armstrong “make american great again” scene in 2016 and everyone ignoring me....

I’m not sure arguing against a RWD, 4 door sedan on Jalopnik is the right place to die on that hill.
