I’ve been fond of Jalopnik since 2008 or so and remember when we would go on to the Canadian sight or something 5.0 to enjoy the unchanged format for a while when the first big refresh freaked me out. That was over 10 years ago and now I’ve just come to accept that changes are inevitable. As long as there is good

I’m defiantly not a VW fan (though my dad had a Kharman Gia and a few Beetles before I was born). I once won a new VW and requested the cash prize instead of a new car...

Nice price all the way. This car is not for everyone, but I’ve owned a similar model for 7 years and can’t imagine myself driving anything different. I find newer cars bland and over done. There is a simplicity that is not present in modern cars that the Camaro has in spades. Assuming there are no underlying or

I’ve never participated in the Woodward cruise but Waterford is my favorite track. Anyway, I feel the same way, it is a shame that some people ruin a good thing with the lack a civility. But that goes to show who is in the scene for the love of what it means and who is there as a poser or trying to get likes on their

I own a Camaro and a BMW. Your post made me uncomfortable and curious as to what club I should hypothetically join! Haha!

Yeah, I grew up with a father who loved the manual, I learned how to drive with a manual and my fun car of course has a manual transmission. All my guitar amps are tube amps and so is my home stereo so I can really relate to this.

I still think it looks great. Mine was all black and I took off all the chrome badges, tinted the windows and slapped on black rims with a red stripe that matched the red leather interior. I still dream about getting another and swapping the engine and drive train to make it into the rear wheel drive awesomeness I

It was in the early 2000s when I was shopping for my first car. I just knew it had to be black and 2 door. Having idolized a lot of the imports since the 90's I was fairly sure I was going to get a car from Asia. I should also mention that I lived in Taiwan and Hong Kong in the late 90's which made me more attached to

V8, Manual transmission, rear wheel drive and convertible all in a timeless design checks a lot of boxes for me, however the price just knocks it back to CP land. There are plenty of other cars that have the same options for less, and in a world where people still mistake my Camaro for every pony car I would assume

Have a star for bringing back the memories of being hypnotized by watching the road through the rust hole in the 1982 Subaru’s foot well as my dad drove me to hockey practice... and for me getting to shift for him in that car when he hurt his hand. 

It’s strange how sometimes the body and mind just stop enjoying some things. I’ve heard of people suddenly stop enjoying rollercoasters.

Both are Hobies, and sorry you lost your love for sailing I haven’t been on my boats in over a year and this year I’m not going to make it back to my mom’s house on the lake because of COVID. 

I’m from South East Michigan, kind of in the middle of nowhere, my parents were from Toledo so we were more in touch with Northern Ohio than Michigan news. 

I’m from Michigan, I own 2 boats. Both were purchased for under $800. I found one at the side of the road with a for sale sign and the other on craigslist. Mine are sailboats and are obviously very cheap to maintain. I bought some new ropes a few year ago and that was it. 

I’m a (sail) boat owner from Michigan and I have never heard of this before. I also don’t party or drink so that could be the reason why. 

My dad passed away over 10 years ago so Father’s Day hasn’t felt the same since then. My dad had some interesting cars before I was born, the one I wish he kept is the first car he bought, apparently with the money he has been saving that he earned from his paper route. It was a tuxedo black, manual transmission 1959

I’m sorry to share my opinion. Amber turn signals on the back don’t look good and I like my reverse lights illuminating when I unlock my car. I also tend to back into parking spaces whenever possible so I hope I am not part of the problem. On a side note, my summer car’s reverse lights haven’t worked in a few years

Because of the Corona Virus, I am not likely to come back to my house in Michigan until next summer. If you need a place to stash a car for some time I have some space in my garage that is not being used. I’ll accept a Jalopnik t-shirt or sticker for storage payment.

The DeLorean or Mad Max’s interceptor are the car sounds that would fight for #1 and #2 if that was reality.

I feel so happy to see so much Chinese car content lately, and I know I mention it often, but I have lived in China for most of my life, so I finally have a chance to add to the conversation!
