Wow... My mother actually wrecked one, too and walked away fine, but given where the impact is on that one, I think you had it way worse! I daily an ‘89 Firebird and also have a ‘68 Cutlass and a ‘80 Spitfire, so I should probably worry more about safety. 

My first car was a 1984 Subaru GL 4x4 sedan, complete with digital dash and those awesome white mini-wagon-wheel-style steelies. I hated it when I had it - it was underpowered and people used to laugh when I opened the hood and there was the spare tire.

Curious to see how this correlates with comments on NP/ND articles on this site. Seems like commenters consistently feel like those vehicles are overpriced as well - often they are correct, but sometimes I feel like it’s a knee jerk reaction to automatically assume that any private listing is looking for pie in the…

Rare? Yeah. Interesting? Maybe. Offensive? Probably. Buick must have sold these cars to 113 50-somethings in the 80's who thought they had a real executive hot rod. Each one of these 113 cars must be imbued with the still-living poltergeist of shattered dreams and disappointment from middle aged men who were…

Easily the Power Wheels JoJo Siwa Jeep. Just look at it. The range sucks. The roll bar offers zero protection, and its top speed is, shall we say, anemic. Not to mention I don’t think this think would make it 10 feet into Moab. Dammit Jeep, get your shit together.

This is the way.

I was never a fan of Ford’s 10-hole boring wheel that showed up on Foxbody Mustangs and Thunderbirds and probably a bunch of other generic Ford stuff. 

Thanks! I can confirm we have had to watch MOST of the movies on this list.

Buying a used Cordoba is understanding that somebody else had sex on that rich Corinthian leather. NP, just scrub those seats before you check that moment off the bucket list.

I’ve owned two Corvairs, but I don’t hate Nader. He got a raw deal on the pushback from his actions, which never actually killed the Corvair - the car lasted until gas got cheap enough that it wasn’t selling. And having owned two Corvairs, I can tell you he wasn’t totally wrong. The ‘60-’63 model had a turn-in issue…

The 1964-1972 American muscle car era was peak awesomeness for Detroit iron. The sounds, the smells, the chrome, the lines - all better than anything we have gotten since.

I didn’t hate Deathproof, but my biggest problem with it was once you know about Quentin Tarantino’s foot fetish, you can’t unsee all the foot scenes.

As the cohost of Reels & Wheels Podcast, I could probably fill this whole list for you, but I’ll stick to my top three worst car movies that I was forced to endure thanks to my co-host (Love ya, James. Really.):

Love Shack. That Chrysler is as big as a whale AND ITS ABOUT TO SET SAIL.

When I was in high school, in 1992, my generous father got me a 1990 Mustang GT. I was so in love with the car, I wanted everything to be perfect, so a broken piece of trim behind the inside driver’s door handle bothered me enough that it became my very first wrenching project. I got the part from the dealer and did…

I feel like Virginia should get more recognition for everyone’s complete inability to merge. What? A lane’s ending? Let’s all come to a complete stop!

Once again, this should get a $10,000 discount to account for how much time you’re going to have to spend explaining to people what the hell it is.

#3: Thoroughly inspect the vehicle to make sure the words “Nissan Versa” do not appear anywhere on the car or paperwork.

1980 Triumph Spitfire and 1968 Olds Cutlass. On of ‘em is a bit easier to get around to grab stuff in the garage.

Ready to start the ‘68 Cutlass back up after a long hibernation, but alas we’re having work done on the house and there’s still a dumpster in the driveway blocking it in the garage. This won’t be a long trip.
