Eastern Bloc cars are the low hanging fruit, but rightfully so. We got the Yugo here in the US, but every now and again I’ll see a Trabant show up at a car show.

Safety? Maybe in a shop class or some activity where spinning or rotating machinery is involved. But there’s an easy fix for that, hair net, bandana, baseball hat, tie it up... I would also suggest du-rag, but that’s probably way too black for these folks.

Just googled pictures of BRZ Rally and they not only look cool, but they seem to perform well too.  Not a bad solution for this guy’s situation considering the used car market today.

No joke!

Do they also sell a lift kit for light trail use?  Because with a tune, a lift and some knobby tires it’ll probably make for a nice Safari conversion.  Add on some guards for the motor and tranny and some recovery gear and you’re good to go.

I’ll address the HD comment. The problem is that the HD truck segment is meant for Heavy Duty use. But the manufacturers market them to everyone. The folks who need HD trucks (like my local arborist, dude moves heavy equipment) and use them aren’t in the majority. Yes, that arborist also uses that truck as his daily…

How does that thing ride? I want something in the ‘just beyond beginner’ size that has some style and enough power that I won’t be turned into a meat crayon if I need to get out of the way of something, but not so much that if I sneeze I’ll end on my back.

Ugh... yes, to build the ‘people’s car’ was indeed Hitler’s idea... but he’s not the one responsible for the Beetle you are thinking of. Hitler used the idea of making the ‘peoples car’ to build a factory to churn out military equipment instead, the plant never made civilian vehicles until AFTER the war.

These are probably in the ‘not fair’ category...

Get Tom Cruise to play Max, let him overact the constant bitching from the cockpit, then let Max review the work at the end.  That would be funny. Checo’s likable enough you can just let him do his owns stunts.  Would have liked it if they had let Checo hit Little Havana and interact in Spanish... and who knows, that…

Not everyone who buys a Porsche is an auto enthusiast. Some people purchase them because they’re cool and they have the funds or they can get a big enough loan. Then there’s the chunk of Porsche owners, regardless of where they fit in the spectrum (from auto enthusiast to cool Porsche) that don’t have the ability to…

Having been to both states, you are correct. Kansas City, MO is a fun town. Mississippi was full of troglodytes and very racist assholes. Those were my big takeaways from visiting each of those states.

It’s called Snoop

And no mention that we won’t see these things in the US? No MB shooting brake here... none. Cool car... but you won’t be able to drive one of them in the USA for 25 years.

Bob posted it to Twitter... So I have no idea. Maybe he’s double dipping? Lord knows he could use the money so he could stop being the David Tracy of NYC abandoned bicycles

Oh some of the new reviews are killer!

So Bob came here from R&T on or about April 4th... then Raph left Jalopnik 10 days later to go to R&T... and neither of those got a story here while we continue to see more reposts.... hell, there enough people here that if they’re short of staff, they could just ask someone to whip something together and post it...…

No, no, no... Tracy wouldn’t trade away a 40 year old, rusty Jeep... he would buy another, older, rustier Jeep that he could salvage parts from to keep the 40 year old, rusty Jeep running. Then he would sell the scrap metal to the junk yard in trade for one or two less rusty body panels for the 40 year old, rusty Jeep…

Scroll through the pictures, that’s a race used wheel. The only paint is on the face and rear face. It has some other stuff on there, shows wheel position, set pressure, etc. And there looks to be baked in brake dust on the back and the face where the wheel nut sits is definitely worn.

Uh... if you really need a customized sound track for your car, I highly suggest doing it the old school way... DIY. At least that’s what I do.
