No stop get away I want that one.

Couple of ladies out for a drive?

Beach Car?!

Because Jalopnik.

Budget: up to $10,000

With a budget of only 7-10,000. Here is my answer. For that budget you can find an nice example in auto and its new enough with the right manors to drive daily. And parts and service are readily available.

I’ve always kinda liked the looks of this generation of the J-body. I even like the Z24 bodykit. I’d maybe buy one as clean as what’s offered above for a summer runabout.

I realized the other day that that car....the first car I purchased new from a dealer....now qualifies for antique plates in my state. Crap.

I actually agree with you. I think they’re handsome cars. Then everything got rounded off and boring in the 90's.

Unpopular opinion time: these are really good looking cars.

I killed my 86 Cavalier with 3 payments left in the book. I was driving it to Autotrader to get pics taken of it for sale and I over revved turning left in front of traffic and spun a bearing. Fortunately, I had just purchased my Corvette. I put an 85 engine in it from a junkyard and gave it to my soon to be…

Not even Pontiac Aztek ugly...

Yeah... I can only take the dude in small doses. When Jalopnik was peak DeMuro, I found his articles (and the fanboying in the comments) so insufferable I stopped reading them.

My best friend got a Model X a couple months ago. It’s very fast. It also feels as cheap as a 1990s Kia. Plastic everywhere, weird seat backs that look like a shiny Boblebee backpack, tacky interior, and yes, the exterior is ugly. Not even Pontiac Aztek ugly, where it can grow on you—more like uncanny valley ugly,…

Agree. I sit squarely in the camp of: “Can’t stand that guy”

No recent vehicle is more polarizing at Jalopnik than the Tesla Model X

Serious question here. Does creating an ad campaign involve factoring in who the likely buyer is? Because it seems that’s one way Lincoln missed the mark here (no pun intended). I mean, everybody, please, take a moment—who, realistically, is going to buy a 2017 Lincoln Continental?

nobody can overthink shit like advertising people. {...} all but a few ads for cars suck. Show the car. {...} just some running footage, some close ups of some cool door handles and some jerkoff copy about why it’s the greatest thing since the Yugo.

Full disclosure: I work in advertising. And nobody can overthink shit like advertising people.

1. create a budget that helps you spend less than you make.
