I have seen one, at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.

I have a 62 Sprite. It has ruined most new cars for me. I hate power brakes, the feel of manual hydraulics is fantastic. The nice notchy shifter, manual steering, non self canceling turn signals, it’s all great and so visceral.  Modern lights were a good improvement though.

I spent the summer driving a Jeep Comanche short bed. It felt a little large and quite tall to me.  I can't imagine threading larger trucks through traffic or down narrow PA back roads.

I sold my rad 1988 Jeep Comanche sport truck on BaT last week and plan on purchasing a minty e36 M3 to become my daily when the right one comes up on BaT.

I use to shift 1st to 6th all the time in my e39 M5. First gear got you to 40. Sixth was for cruising.

I agree, especially when it comes to working on cooling systems, it's always a giant mess.

I learned the hard way that you should release your parking brake to get rear brakes appart. I spent over an hour slowly prying a rear drum off of my Austin Healey Sprite when all I had to do was release the handle and simply slide the drum off.  The thought occurred to me after I looked at the mechanism for the first…

Yeah, I wanted a modern Comanche based off of the wrangler. At least it has the six cylinder and a manual. 

Many are ugly, many are awesome looking gas killercow pointed out.  What all hatch back vehicles do have in common though is aerodynamics that plaster the rear windowin dirt that make it miserable to live with in the winter.

The manual x5 has alway been on my radar.  I like the very first x5s as they have a lot of styling cues from the e38 and e39.  I can imagine the six cylinder is a fun engine to row around the gears in one of those x5s as well.

This is what I’ve always wanted, a small two door pickup with a manual, and one based off the wrangler is even better as it will look good and not like some cyborg alien like all new cars.

I wish I could be there, but I’m in Pennsylvania.

Good!  New car smell is one of the reasons I don't like new cars.  It smells terrible, like a department store.  I would rather buy a 10 year old car so that I don't have to smell new car smells.

E36 M3, I'd prefer it not be a LTW, I like creature comforts

Legitimately, I would buy a Jeep pickup but not a Wrangler. Especially if it is offered in a shorter wheelbase single cab. Mainly because it will be a small useful truck offered with a manual transmission.

That is a super annoying chime.  I was quite annoyed by it when I rented a Ford recently.

Yep yep.  I put 2000 miles per driving season on my Austin Healey Sprite,  it runs way better because of it.  Definitely because I pay attention to it and notice when things aren't running quite right.

I completely support the message of this article.  I started to frequently drive my 62 Austin Healey Sprite that my grandfather gave me three years ago.  It ran like garbage when I got it, he hadn't driven it in 7 years.  I slowly tuned things and kept driving it.  At this point it drives perfectly, and is super…

My parents sold their 97 Grand Cherokee Limited last year that they purchased new. It had 98,000 miles on it and the interior was show room mint. The exterior looked good but the underside was rusty.... 3 sets of rocker panels, lots of frame repairs just due to it being in the snowbelt all its life. We loved it and…

Its also from southern California, there’s virtually no rust.  My friends and I drove it from LA to Pennsylvania.  Was a brilliant trip and it did the 3500 miles very well.   It was an awesome and surprisingly comfortable way to see the USA.
