I follow your points and agree. I don’t drive enough to make financial justification for saving money driving an EV on fuel alone. I’d like a fun EV sports car, like an EV Miata or a JCW Mini so basically there isn’t anything on the market that interests me. I continue to daily drive my 99 BMW M3 or 90 Jeep Comanche

Last time I was in Millan Italy for work, the first American car I spotted on the streets was a Chrysler PT cruiser. Surprisingly the second American car I saw was a Chrysler Town and Country minivan with a diesel.

Im 32 and could afford a $63k car.  Though I'm looking to build a house so I won't.  Additionaly if I was paying $63k, there are many amazing vintage cars I'd buy before any new Porsche.  Porsche makes a fine car, but nothing in their lineup excites me more than some of their classics in that price range.

The product planers from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep must have taking an Italian vacation and showed them their color offerings.

I have a MK2 Sprite the boxy one.  Even it is cute and people think it's adorable.  However it's pretty much impossible to beat an MK1 bugeye for cuteness.

I give this a solid second after the Sprite.  I'd love to have a Twingo.

Can confirm this works.  My 24 year old BMw is my newest car, tied with a 24 year old Oldsmobile.  They have informed me that they don't have a policy that would cover me.  

I know that my mom specifically doesn’t like new cars, particularly with respect to the infotainment and visibility.

I agree with this, but I've found many cars, particularly modern turbo cars have no semblance of engine braking.  My old BMWs have great engine braking, so does my Austin Healey Sprite.  The 2013 Mini S I owned had zero semblance of it and surprisingly my Jeep Comanche with 4.0L has very little as well.

That works great except every one of my friends daily drives a manual so they specifically want to drive my Truck.

I relate to this article exactly. I have only ever purchased manual cars, I own an automatic but it was a gift. I do it because I enjoy the connection, particularly in this more automated world.

Purchased my dream Jeep Comanche in 2022. A 1990 4.0L, 5 speed manual, 4x4 example with the Eliminator package and rocking a quarter million miles on the odometer. It’s a brilliant, trough little truck, exactly what I needed after buying a farm in need of a lot of clean up. It’s been incredibly useful and gets more

There are three Buick dealerships within 20 minutes of me. Mind you, the one dealer was left pretty high and dry as it was originally a Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Suzuki dealer. When the latter three died, they picked up GMC. 

Probably the easiest car I’ve taught people on is a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite. It’s geared very low, has lots of low rpm torque so it easy to get moving. Visibility is good so most people are comfortable maneuvering it.  I imagine that my Jeep Comanche would be good to teach in with the 4.0L engine and great positive

Purchasing a used e39 M5. Was driving past the local Cadillac/Audi dealer one Summer Friday after work and saw a beautiful LeMans Blue BMW e39 M5 sitting front and center out front. I’d never seen one before because that’s just not the type of car you see in the town I live in. My twin brother and I were fresh out of

I quite appreciate that Mini does this and would love to work for them teaching people.

The last thing I want when having my driveway plowed is for someone to salt it.  The only plow jockeys that put salt down are the ones doing business parking lots.  I think this would make a great plow vehicle in a suburban setting, easier to maneuver.  

I have a 4.0L six in my Comanche. The level at which one can lug it an not stall it is almost insane. They are amazing torquey engines, their problem is actually a lack of horsepower. I’ve towed some pretty large loads, upwards of 6k lbs and you just run out of horsepower to go at speed. I could see a short wheelbase

Old Jag parts aren't too bad, they did a great job parts sharing across platforms.  

Kinda reminds me of an early 2000s Dodge concept car.  I like it.  Butch, unique, but not over styled.  Definitely some e36 and e92 styling ques mixed in with a healthy does of early 2000s Dodge.
