Magnussen’s out of left field return to the grid after saying he wouldn’t return. Then his first drive back he plants a Haas in 5th place. The Interlagos pole was perfect. Did you see his reaction?! Did you not get goosebumps of joy for him in that equipment? It was honestly the perfect way to cap his season and show

I took a train for the first time this year to a Charlotte, only 2 hours away by car. My car was having trouble holding coolant before the mechanic saw it. An ice storm was on the way and with the looming repair I wanted to keep costs low. So for $70 round trip I could ride up and back. That was cheaper than renting a

Hooning your car in an empty snow covered parking lot can be considered “preparing yourself for the conditions”. Yeah, just keep telling yourself that and the police never show up...maybe.

I’ve found that for many kind of road trips around a holiday traveling at night you can breeze through a major city or completely avoid traffic. It requires you be nocturnal for most of it and take a risk if your car has issues but the reward is one of the easiest journeys you’ll do if you don’t care to see a view

I’ll do you one better, what about the anonymous looking Saturn L series? All the look of a Saturn but absolutely nothing about it that makes it memorable or exciting to look at. We all remember the SL or Ion, but never the yawn machine in the middle. 

Omg, how did I forget this little gem?! Good answer

...but how do you get to the 3rd row?

As made clear from the renderings to real life M2, something keeps on getting lost in translation and leading to failed execution of the design. The renderings tell a good story, but for some reason they went in a different direction, even though what was rendered looked possible in real life. Either they did this all

The Rav4 should be the metric how much a vehicle can grow over the years. Jumping from this versions 147.6" long to 181.5" today, it sure has eaten too many cheeseburgers while spending time in the states. Wonder if there are any other car/suv/truck models that changed dimensions so drastically.

Nissan at this point 

Oh hooray, another angry looking car... yawn... HOLD UP ARE THOSE TEETH IN THE GRILL?!

The Saturn Sky. This “baby vette” made sense for them to aim at a car that the Miata and 86/BRZ could take on and let enthusiasts enjoy a track day at a lower price point without needing gobs of power like the Camaro or Vette. They just needed to believe it’d still be marketable after the recession.

Make a Ford Model T Raptor, you cowards.

The MK7 to Mk8 Golf/GTI platform. They went from one of the best looking Golf platforms since the MK4 or even MK2 to the worst of all 8 generations. How do you screw up an evolutionary design philosophy that badly?

Is it too late to nominate the Lexus LC500's headlights?

Tesla’s have always and will always look like someone cheating on the test while looking over at the first Mazda 3 sedan like “THAT’S GOT TO BE THE RIGHT ANSWER!”

Drive the car you can take in with you.

The Mazda Furai was absolutely stunning in person and I still remember being hypnotized by every line and surface change. Thank you for including it. I’ve seen several of the cars on this list and none come close. It was so beautiful the gods had to destroy it.
