Love the Miata trolls on Jalopnik, it’s the best car for everything. Well it’s not, and Mazda’s engineering department can’t cary the jock strap of Porsche’s. Their front strut suspension most likley has more development hours than the entire Miata. It handles better, has better driving feel, and most likley was…

Thank god I live in the metropolitan NY area where even the worst pizza palace is better than Dominos.

My son just bought a 98 with 200,000 miles. We changed all the fluids, did a tune up and it runs great. Body was mint but he paid $2000 and it already has a 2” lift. These vehicles are becoming the cult car for inexpensive trail and off road use.

More NASCAR crap, any other series he would have been penalized. The passing driver has the responsibility to get past the driver in front in a safe manner. In effect a driver from the back can just wreck everyone on his way to the front!

Well the three at VIR running a track day this year when I was there all had the same problem. Guess they all need a special GM team to check the car out before you can use it as it was intended. Oh I forgot most just drive a 1/4 mile at a time anyway.

What is up with the styling departments of Asian car manufactures? The front of this car is hideously ugly. Mazda is the only company that shows any skill, oh wait, I just saw the new Miata.

No way the E500 is going to go for less than $15000

I think it depends on the car and your situation. My 2004 S500 was purchased used and I have no payments so I figure every year a thousand or two on repairs. I just replaced an air shock for $600 but even then it's way less than a car payment every month, and it's an S class. I will drive it for a long while, and then…

I love the Nazi reference, most likley comming from an ecological nazi.

Shouldn’t it be called a “Biggie” or a “Fattie”, cause it's not a Mini.

NASCAR practically invented cheating and over time raised it to an art form that other series tried to copy but rarely succeeded. The great crew chiefs all were cheating, and winning. To vilify MWR for getting caught is laughable, since almost every team is guilty of bending the rules at some point.

The old style wire on bumper signs were very popular with vacation attractions when I was young. They are very collectible today, I remember our Station wagon always had one on it displaying where we went on vacation that year.

Those Ducks are former amphibious military vehicles and are built tough, no doubt it ripped the crap out of that tour bus and caused huge damage.

Can Am was ruled by huge aluminum block V8’s untill Porsche showed up with their turbo panzer wagons. You need a history lesson, I remember watching an orange McClaren with over 800 hp and open exhaust run flat out down the straight at Bridgehampton. One of Best sounds in racing.

Obvious you city guys think that compartment is for guns, everyone knows rifle and shotguns belong on the rack above the seat across the rear window. Cuts way down on road rage incidents.

Would still rather drive a diesel VW.

I just thought about the most important reason they have to build this,

Tradesmen buy sprinters because they offer more room and value than the old style domestic vans. If MB makes a truck, not a luxury car with a bed, they may have something. Mid size, diesel pickup, they would own the market.

I am sure it’s great fun but did it have to be so ugly? It had the potental to be almost anything, and they came up with this. Looks like an ATV and a sport bike had a love child, unfortunately it got the worst of both.

I live on Long Island and truly hate NYC, almost never go unless absolutely nesesary. Every time I take the LIRR or a subway I can’t believe how dirty, smelly and poorly run it is. Penn station is a pit, and I pay huge taxes and tolls which are re directed to prop up the corrupt MTA. The MTA is an unelected body with…
