Someone in my home state actually paid $$ for this plate. There is a special place in hell for everyone with a vanity plate.

The single greatest vanity plate in history is still 100 X worse than the random #s and letters on my car. If you send me a Jalopnik decal, however, I will use it.

What’s the word count limit for COTD?

My Jeep Compass is the Jeep Compass too! Actually hating that thing is not at all unreasonable. Like, I suspect, a lot of other jalopettes I hate the Prius. It’s an amazing accomplishment, has moved the industry and is overwhelmingly popular. Hating them is unreasonable. But I still hate them.

Expected great things from the Jalops; was not disappointed. Heading out to buy an assortment of zip ties today.

Sunchaser huh? A whole week of this this perhaps? Tuesday: Honda Del Sol. Wednesday: Toyota Camry Solara. Thursday: Pontiac Sunfire. Friday: Mitsu Eclipse.

Roady McRoadface

I’m only interested in F1 “reeling in spending” if it also reels in the cost of tickets and merchandise etc. Otherwise, if I’m paying hundreds of US dollars just for tickets, I want to see some very expensive, very special cars, being driven by the most overpaid drivers they can find.

I call bullshit- these are imperial gallons so the car is running on bigger fumes.

Cool car, Not so nice price. Defender be just as cool: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?sourceContext=carGurusHomePage_false_0&formSourceTag=112&newSearchFromOverviewPage=true&inventorySearchWidgetType=AUTO&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=d151&entitySelect…

Your arms went akimbo in a crash? I do not think this word means what you think it means:

Kind of what I thought. I mean, nothing says “reliability” like a 1997 Camaro.

I admit to not knowing as much about BMW as the average Jalop, but wonder if swapping the factory motor for a chevy sort of compromises the whole german engineering thing? I mean doesn’t this mess with the balance and make it less BMWish? Anyway, yeah-other peoples projects = CP

“If you live somewhere with crappy winters, I suspect a good set of winter tires would be as useful as the AWD, anyway.” I made it through the last (wimpy) winter in Minnesota on just winter tires, and it was fine, but not a substitute for AWD. With the Mrs, anything without AWD is a non-starter.

Disagree! I like the sound that this car makes- the R-spec that I have makes a satisfying growl at idle.

I am an empty nester now and own one of these. This car doesn’t baby- the rear seats are fine, once you get back there, but putting the car seat in would be torture.

No it doesn’t

Not quite unicorns, but close. I got a (non-polestar, “R-Design”) a year ago with about half this car’s milage for around $16000. Seems about the right price.

How is does this not have Steff’s byline? What have you done with her and her stuffed things? Justice for the Puffalump Princess!
