As someone who is attempting to return an AMC Pacer wagon to showroom condition, I feel I can give you some insight into our way of thinking in relation to why we work so hard for something that is of relatively little value:

I knew this was happening about six months ago when the prices of Z4s started dropping like lead. It was only a matter of time.

I’m definetly not trying to say that there aren’t young guys in the car scene, I am one and I’ve met my fair share, but you have to admit that there are far less “casual observer” car guys than there were 15 years ago. Of course the die-hards aren’t going away anytime soon, it would literally have to be outlawed for…

I definetly agree that we have surpassed the point in time where fast cars were fun on the street. Look at the modern GT-R: it should be a riot, but instead it’s one of the worst decisions you can make for a daily, because south of triple digit speeds it’s unbearably dull.

People will hate me for this, but I’ll say it anyway:

This whole “multiple lessees” thing is a terrible idea. It’s this sort of “let’s provide luxury items to people who can’t really afford them” nonsense is the same unintelligible logic that caused the housing crisis. It’s great that it’s not catching on, if you can’t afford a new car by yourself you should buy a used…

THIS x 1,000,000. The local Dodge dealer sometimes brings out his stuff for our Cars and Coffee, and when I found out that the Rebel he brought for for last month’s event was a 5.7L at that price, I almost laughed in his face. 6.2L or CP.

I wanted one of these SOOOOO bad as a kid. This was the car that had me subscribing to 5.0 & Other Fast Fords and reading the classifieds every night when my folks were done with the paper. It’s getting really hard to find good ones anymore, I couldn’t find one for less than $15k with less than 100k miles when I…

I have a very irrational fear of carburetors. If you’ve ever seen an old car backfire through the carb, spitting like 6" worth of inferno into the air, I’m always afraid when I’m adjusting a carb that’s going to happen when my hand, most likely covered in gasoline, is right on top of said carburetor. Even when the car…

I have a relative who is still driving her decade old Cobalt with 150k, and so far the only hasssle with it has been taking it in to get the ignition recall done.

These “Batwing” vents were kind of an expensive affair- it’s a lot easier to just build a one peice glass side window than it is to build that glass side window plus another small piece of glass for the inside of the vent window, plus the metal trim to go around the vent window, plus the weathersealing to keep the…

They won’t be successful just badging it as a Cadillac...they need to take a similar approach to Mercedes’ Maybach division...I think LaSalle would work perfectly.

Dodge SRT4. All the performance and rarity of a WRX, EVO, or Civic Si, but none of the prestige at the moment, which means even fewer of these will survive. Also, there has to be less than 10 of these that are unmodifyed.

My vote: Hyundai Veloster Turbo

I feel like the problem is that Shelby is in an awkward period where they are trying to move away from their old “wants to kill you” image, because it hurts their reputation abroad. Americans tend to love dangerous cars, but most of the rest of the world wants a vehicle that can handle even the worst of situations…

It took many, many viewings of those ads to catch what he actually said. I started to right it off as something that was lost in translation, but then I realized “It’s Eddie Murphy, English is his native language!”

Hey Aaron, just to answer your question about the Celica commercial, Eddie says “In New York it’s (the Celica) almost as popular as I am”. It’s one of my favorite campaigns as well, BTW.

Yep, AE101 ‘Rolla would be my pick, too. And you could buy about 4 of ‘em within budget, and never have to buy a car again (even though most of us would be shopping within the first week).
