a tube of sand was way cheaper than a set of snow tires when I was 20 something, poor and living in an apartment. 

We shared that 944 for a while. I barely drove the damn thing, which is disappointing, but it sold for more than we paid for it, so I’m not complaining. 

Forgot about one of the biggest selling cars of all time.

Basically, it was easier to stick a sourced overdrive unit on the back of a 4-speed transmission than to develop a new 5-speed (I believe MGB’s used something similar, I’m sure it was common enough at the time). But more importantly, it’s just fun to say Laycock de Normanville.

I technically have one too. Like, all the parts are there. I think.

If they had actual jobs they would not have time for this Confederate cosplay. I know too many guys like this and this is how I explain it to people:

EYE RIASE MY PISS JUG TO THES TRU PATROIT HOSSES!!!! GOBBLESSS !!!!

I have one as well... Perfectly usable as a daily. Starts up every time and drives more or less like a modern car. The only reason I don’t daily it year-round is because of the salt on the roads in the winter.

Listen, I love y’all and this site, but I’m struggling to connect this article to the Jalopnik “Obessed with the Culture of Cars” ethos. Does it have something to do with filling the void of Jezebel after selling it to Paste Media?
