And I am just left wondering where did that magical second driver come from, showing up unannounced mid-sentence.

I know one man with a wife and nine daughters who has been salivating for a new Ford Transit for a while. His daily driver is a very long passenger E250. This is the man this car was made for.

Not thinking of their kids, which baffles me. I know my wife and I aren't the over-concerned parents, but our little boy is always on our mind. Since he was born everything I do has a new purpose.

Well done? What's the warning? Your steak will have no flavor?

That sure looks like a Fiat steering wheel.

Better known as the Biltjänst Husbil, thie vehicle is over seven foot wide and the one with the Saab 95 drivetrain has both a Saab 92 and a Volvo Amazon grille! The original one was found abandoned in a Swedish forest, then restored to running order. I have been collecting their pictures for a while.

I have nevere had a problem parking either large work vans nor my Saab 9-5 wagon without the parking sensors, but I can't say the same of my wife, who would be the second driver of the car if I ever got it. $295 for the rear park assist is cheaper than $600 or more for fixing a scratched bumper.

I bet they taste good.

Subaru interiors start rattling within 5000 miles of new, I have owned a few. Volvo interiors? Some cars with 200,000 miles have nary a squeak. They are on a different class of car than Subarus. Handling is not the only measure of a car.

I did the same car, only added reverse parking sensors because I am sure rear visibility will suck.

Here is my "no frills, just thrills" Mustang: Ecoboost with performance package and Recaro seats. Like the Jalopnik Special 320i, this one comes in at below 30 grand.

Saab 95 and 95, or 9-3 and 9-5?

Southern Missouri is most definitely South, while northern Missouri is midwestern. That state has a double identity.

Some of the most fun moments I have ever had with a car/truck.Jeep were off roading. The three years I spent in Alaska were spent doing a lot of wheeling around Fairbanks, whether during the summer or winter. As long as temperatures were above -25F we went out, and never alone.

As if passengers will adjust their seats with the airbags in mind... they adjust the seats for comfort, whether it's wise or not.

Wow, the price for Alfa Romeos in America is craaaaaazy! I guess I should start importing a few Alfas from Europe into the US for some extra cash...

I'm sorry, but if I am buying an 80,000 Euro Ferrari in Europe, in hopes of bringing it to the US, I will do my own homework and make sure it is USDM before giving my cash away, I won't just take a dealership's word for it. Dealers in Germany are in for a profit as much as they are in the US. A quick sale just for…

No exceptions for military personnel. If you buy an Euro market car that is less than 25 years old you must sell it before you depart. The US Government contractor who ships our car back to the US won't even book your car for an appointment to ship it if it's younger than 25 years old and not USDM.
