I can’t imagine why you care enough to comment. Does someone selling their K20 swapped Insight inflame your outrage or are you the K20 police or some new variety of basement dweller?

My K20 Insight was mercilessly grilled here as a NPOCP car a couple years ago. The trolls came out in droves to write astonishing observations like “duhh for that kind of money I can buy a (xxxxx)“ which while true, is not the point.

Totally got you covered.

Nahhh. At $13,000 *this Celica* with an auto trans is CP:

It’s irritating that no matter how relevant the comment is, if it’s not one of the first dozen or so it typically flies under the radar.

How did perhaps the *most* important specification not get mentioned:

About as original as blurting “that’s what she said” or a Borat quote.

Dang Erik, did you shag his mother on a cheap date then ghost her?

I’m still rather smitten by the Omni GLH rims:

They were a breath of fresh air in an era of embarrassing American compacts like the Chevette and Citation.

During my year in Odawara & Tsukuba I met an afro-inclined individual who had been there for a few years with a theater troupe. He was having a great time in Japan. Seems there’s a rumor going around about some foreigners being ... ahem *well endowed*. Not that I’m urging anyone to push that angle, so to speak but he…

Just like GM back in ‘97 I’d prepare a delicious entree of Corvette C5.

The LT-1 responds favorably to performance mods for when 300 hp & 340 lb-ft of torque isn’t sufficient. But Christ man, how often do you shake your fist at the sky and curse having only 300 hp in a lightweight car?

That list of competitors appeared at the end of the C4's reign - but at the beginning in ‘84 it stomped on its competition, Ferrari included.

Those darn Olds.

The interior of our ‘90 C4 looks very performance focused with its square buttons and heavily bolstered seats past the wide sills. A friend’s C5 has an interior that looks like any mid-priced Pontiac with flat-ish seats and bubbly shaped buttons and normal sills.

Great job at rehashing stereotypes, not so good at seeing a car as A CAR. Seriously, it’s a car. Stop whinging about your perceptions of its demographic and go drive one: they’re fun, at the bottom of their depreciation curve and headed rapidly back up.

For perspective on how societal perceptions shift: I remember when…

On the contrary, the C4 convertible has aged quite well. We’ve got a pristine ‘90 with 6-speed that’s a hoot. Yeah, our chipped Fiat Abarth is a bit faster, but the Corvette wins in the fun dept.

I avoided them after living in Japan and seeing Vincent Gallo Celica commercials everywhere. That guy’s a douche, even if I am a giant fan of Buffalo 66.

The Terminator franchise seemed in good nick not that long ago with the Sarah Connor Chronicles being a gripping and well told continuation.
