Because notenuftoys was thinking of placing an order for the Model 3 but he would like to know what he is buying because well he is not an idiot or a cult member that will just give money to any conman off the street.

There were 1244 Buick Wildcat convertibles produced for the 1970 model year; there were 16 listed in the 2015 Buick Club of America’s directory (including mine) so that is over a 95% attrition rate for a very desirable model. I’m guessing the survival rate for some more obscure cars (when’s the last time you saw a…

I was going to come on here and write a stupid comment in a Masshole accent, but figured I would share a story instead.

They also built the little pickups in Pennsylvania and, as cool as I think those are, the worst built car I’ve ever owned was one. And, I’ve owned some of the most notoriously “bad” cars ever made, but nothing matched that poor Rabbit truck.

John Davis is a goddamn legend.

At Cars & Coffee in US, they run over Americans. At Tanks & Coffee in Soviet Bloc, they run over Poles.

I’ve noticed a few people are dumping vintage episodes of Top Gear from the 80s and early 90s on YouTube as well.

Hey crazy speed freak.... slow that shit down.

When the 505 showed up here, I worked at a shop that had kinda upscale customers, in a more affluent part of town. And they would buy stuff like that, because it was one way to be different, to be trendy, to impress the neighbors with how much money you could spend on an untested POS European car that cost a fortune…

This was an ongoing issue with Brit journos and American cars...they’d spend an entire road test slagging a ponycar for its’ rough edges and plastic interior “unbecoming a grand tourer of its’ price class” and in the final paragraph admit that it was glaringly overpriced in Britain and was meant to be the possession…

I shed a tear whenever I remember that the finest example of automotive journalism, Motorweek, used to be regularly featured right here. I’m lost without a place to form my opinions of new car offerings without a guy in a Members Only jacket, mesh-backed fingerless gloves, and a penchant for abusing cars in rural…

Start looking at the differences as a percentage and they’re in completely different ballparks. Of the cars that are more expensive, the XJ6 is the cheapest at about about 20% markup. The Rover is a full 33% more and the DB6 is 233% higher. You put those percentages on modern prices and you have completely different…

I like kiddie cars!

I KNEW Donald Trump was a Jalopnik reader!

“I just didn’t have the heart.”

From the Metro article:

I always wondered why they went with “Beretta” instead of, maybe, “Mannix,” or, “McMillan and Wife.”
