Methinks that “Prelude” in the top pic has taken some uh... ‘inspiration’ from an S15 Silvia. (that car is “Mod Max”, an LS Swapped S15 from the YouTube channel “Mighty Car Mods”).

No Ford Flex despite it being one of the highest voted for cars on the original page?

I regret that I have but one “favorite” to give to your post. If my 2017 Mazda 6 were a wagon, I wouldn’t be getting rid of it.

EVs don’t have head gaskets, so I’m just wondering what Achilles heel they’re going to saddle these things with to ensure the essence of “Subaru” carries through, despite the shared platform w/Toyota.

I feel that. I sacrificed the “practical” bit of the equation for the “manual” part and went with a stick shift Mazda 6 instead of one of these, but I was very close to purchasing a TourX.

With apologies to Bradley Brownell and the approximately 17 other people who actually put their money where their mouths are... the Regal TourX.

I know you know this, but for anyone else reading & thinking of doing this, just make sure you get in writing that there are no early-repayment penalties on the loan.

On flat ground, it was great. Great handling, great braking, sort of let down by the stock Yokohamas in the wet or cold, but once you got around that, it was a blast on curvy (flat) roads.

My former CX-5 (2.0l, FWD, 6 m/t) is a contender. At first it was great winding it out to redline in every gear while never exceeding the speed limit.

‘bout to dogpile on the height thing. At 6'1" in my 20's (probably closer to 5'11" now as I less-than-gracefully stumble into my 40's), I fit fine with a helmet in a 350z. I fit fine in my ‘72 240z as well with helmet. Not entirely sure what the issue is here. Maybe you just have a really long torso?

EPA Traktor (now called “A-traktor”). 

I went through driver’s ed during the “unintentional acceleration” era... not the recent Toyota one, but the earlier Audi/Honda/Jeep/Ford one. The instructors taught us to just jam it into neutral if at any point you felt the pedal sticking or let off the gas and the car kept going. They drilled it into our heads…

2 experiences with the Tempo/Topaz platforms from my youth: My first ‘driver’s ed’ car was a Tempo in that awful teal/blue metallic color. It would stall taking a left turn, so my instructor made sure we only turned right.

Missed the AWD P80 platform Volvo cars where, to change a fuel pump, you must first drop the entire rear subframe, then the fuel tank... OR cut a sizable hole under your rear seat for access. Here’s a short vid of the floor cutting method.

Question: what kind of leasing company allows you to not put comprehensive insurance on a car?

May have been surplus/stored until the GWOT kicked off? Not sure. But it wasn’t the only one.

Not sure if I’d consider it “cool” but an M2 (.50 caliber) Machine Gun I operated downrange (in 2006!) was made by the AC Spark Plug Division of GM circa WWII era.

Combat veteran here, I can’t hear crap. I appreciate the sentiment, but blow up as much as you want, have fun, celebrate. I know I don’t speak for all vets, but an informal survey at the VFW last week found zero of my buddies interested in those signs.

An empty one.
