The year was 2009, me, a freshman in college is wandering around the new college town to get to know it. Stumbling across a used car dealer, I see to my surprise, a Jaguar XJS V12 for, no shit, $4,115. Now me being a young and excitable thing, (But still a Jalop.) called my dad to remark about it, and thankfully the…

Easy:

I have a local Alfa dealer. Turns out they sell Alfas there.

And the Evo VI Tommi Mäkinen edition was the best of them all, according to this:

My favorite is the Evo V:

Evo III’s are my favorite. It was a simpler time. All-wheel-drive, turbocharged, none of the electronic doo-dads that would give it that cat-on-carpet handling. But it was beautiful, especially when the turbo came alive as the engine spun past 3k.

“Owned” an Evo V while i was stationed at Misawa AFB, JP....Most fun I’ve ever had in a car....missed her so much when i got back i got a New (At the time) 2008 Evo (Yes thats a VW Dealer!)...so sad whats happened to this line of cars.

Where is this alien place where texting while driving is actually enforced and punished? It’s been illegal in DC, MD, and VA for years and cops don’t give a shit. I’d say at least 50% of the people on my commutes are doing something on the phone while driving, including the police.

I legit slept on the couch for a month after buying an AMG-GT without telling my wife.

Buys cars sight unseen.

Why aren’t all women like this?! If I surprised my wife with this car she would surprise me right back with a swift kick in the balls.

these things were *everywhere* in the late 90's and now they’ve basically all vanished. it’s crazy how a popular model just ceases to exist after a while.

(Mom also liked that you complimented her car)

Oh my god! I had no idea you would be out there! I’m the red Focus SVT you raced against! This was a picture from later in the night, it was a blast! No matter what you say though, that Genesis is a very nice car!

I feel like turtles in time would be a perfect replacement for contra.

I’d have loved an NBA Jam on there :(

$100,000. The F-450 vs Merc S-Class comparison.

I love that a lot of us here would be like “ITS STUPID TEXAN TRUCK NONSENSE ITS SO DUMB” and your response to it is just freaking perfect. Its kinda funny because all the American Jalops see tiny euro cars and drool, and you’re over there seeing an irrationally large truck and just like “I CAN HAZ PLZ?”

i love this car. i LOVE this car. Must be the fact they arent sold in spain, but i find them freaking glorious. if i ever win the lottery im importing one.

Step 1 dealers charge 15k over the sticker for a spiced up economy car. (Civic Si or Focus RS)
