More accurately it should be serial number, since this car predates VIN by a few decades.

Car of Theseus

Along with one those Toyota Celiac cars I keep seeing listed on Craigslist.

I remember a decade ago looking in astonishment that the LS 600h was:

I don’t see it, that rear 3/4 view is just breathtakingly bad with the two-tone.

Built by PCA with some help from PCNA.  The value of this and the 992 “Sally” are about the exclusivity and the flawless execution of the build.

It was optional with the 1st Gen Bolt

I can’t be the only one to see the Waterworld poster and think “I didn’t know Katherine Heigl was in it”. Looked it up on IMDB and didn’t even know the name Jeanne Tripplehorn, who was the supporting actor alongside Costner.

And when you pick it up at an airport in a dimly lit parking garage and the overhead light is turned off so the rental company prevents dead 12V batteries is the worst.  Can’t find a single thing in that lighting in an unfamiliar car.

Two degrees and still can’t look at the data without bias.  Another FUD source for the world to latch onto.

I turn 40 next month and I’m in pretty much the same boat. Driving for a quarter century with less than 1 hour of manual transmission experience. The sad reality is that my Dad has owned multiple manual transmission Porsches since long before I was born and haven’t had the joy of driving any of them because of this…

So they are going for Pokemon chic.  Hideous doesn’t begin to describe it.

I can’t be the only one who had to Google the Hyundai Casper.  Now that I have I can’t believe what auto makers classify nowadays as an SUV or CUV.  That is a hatchback with a slight suspension lift.  Words have no meaning.

The sad reality is that the majority of the non-car-enthusiast public hears “EV” and thinks only Tesla makes them.  Or that only Tesla’s are capable of fast changing.  Once more people know that nearly all manufacturers make EVs, the better the public will be in choosing the vehicle that suits their needs, not just…

I have a Bolt EV and ID.4 myself, and glad I don’t own things that add to his wealth.

How did no one mention the PT Cruiser 2.4L Turbo?  Seems obvious for this list.

And since that time in my family has been:

I understand the preference (having grown up in a 1974 914 2.0, 1980 911 Targa and 1985 911 Cab), but your “get off my lawn attitude” is just narrow minded.

No, you are close minded.  There is no purity in your assessment.

If you have never seen the live version of Fast Car she did in 1988 at Wembley Stadium, look it up on YouTube. It is so powerful.
