Similar story. I got into Volvos and realized a close friend of mine had a ES1800.I kept in touch with him over the years and last year sent him an email and didn’t get a reply. He died last October suddenly. Fast forward to couple months ago and I found out his family sold his very well taken care of ES well short…

The best Volvo. So sexy, in coupe or wagon configuration.

Hey Torch, man, thanks for a bunch of good times here. I’m sorry the site is exploding due to weaponized incompetence, but if it’s any consolation the work you and your colleagues do is great, and I am confident it will soon be recognized by someone who knows how to, say, own and operate a media website.

How about “Upon” then? 

100%. Sometimes a brand just has such unbridled clout in the automotive space due to “nostalgia” or “history” that just about anything they produce gets universally lauded by automotive journalists while the rest of us in our discernment can see it for what it truly is...underwhelming.

Seems all the auto journalism is getting paid by Hyundai/Kia. Everyone is raving about all of it, but I don’t see much it of transferring over to the public lol.

Well, I’m Episcopalian, we don’t believe in the clitoris.

It seems to be a TCR thing.

“Plot details have been pretty sparse....”

No, I really don't think it is their point. . If that was the point that’s what they would have said. “And you’re results in F1 are?” is a lazy, juvenile invocation of the always shitty “I’d like to see you do better” trope which is never not a garbage take.

I don't agree with the other person but this is a shit response and anyone who utters it should be embarrassed to claim it even for a second.  At no point in history has it been a reasonable requirement to be excellent at something yourself to make an informed assessment on whether someone else is doing it correctly…

Bingo. There are lots of cars out there whose 10/10s performance would demand 19/10s skill from me - I can’t do it. Certainly not do it and enjoy it. And that’s the trap so many enthusiasts find themselves in and why I now call every Mustang doing a burnout out of a Cars and Coffee meetup a Crowdslayer. Just because…

I have always liked the 924. As cars go I’m a contrarian, loving the older and more orphaned models, loving the less appreciated models, loving the unlovable. If someone won’t take the one-eyed cat home, who will?

Now that is a picture of perfection.

The exception that proves the rule:
