I see a lot of people in the comments already shrieking their counterpoints, and as an 80's kid, I’ll try to stay balanced here - I believe you’re correct that we wanted it to fail because communism. It didn’t help that Yugo itself produced ads with the tagline “Buy a little freedom, buy a Yugo.” It was fashionable to…

It was the 4th of July. My wife and I were taking the kids to my parents’ house to cook out together and enjoy the day. We agreed to bring desert, which was IMHO damn impressive. Tons of precision craftsmanship went into arranging strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream to create what looked to be an insanely…

Raptor badging or actually being eaten by raptors? 

From personal experience - and for not the usual reasons - I’m going with the Corvair.

My first memory is sitting in my father’s lap, steering his yellow 1970 Skylark convertible in the parking lot at preschool. At the time, I had no idea he had a finger on the wheel - I just thought I was already a really great driver.

As the owner of a 1968 Cutlass, I definitely have a thing for Oldsmobiles, and (surprisingly), most all off the incarnations of the car had merit. Picking a least favorite will be controversial as I don’t totally hate the last gasp (you know, the Cutlibu), but instead it’s really hard to look at a Cutlass from 1978-82.…

(*HONK*) HEY! PUT YOUR CAR OUT AND MOVE IT!

Behold, my 1968 Oldsmobile!

For me it’s always been the 1966 Chevelle SS. It was really peak for the boxy muscle cars that mostly went away in ‘68. The ‘66 does it for me thanks to its wrap-around grill giving it an elegant yet angry snarl, it’s C-pillars (technically b-pillars I guess) that stretch past the rear window because looks are more…

This was my second car, but in retrospect it was a terrible idea and as a first car it would have been even worse - I had a 1990 Mustang GT. Foxbody Mustangs were cheap and easy ways for high schoolers to go fast. I was a good kid and I still found myself way too tempted to speed and do stupid things. Which I did.…

This situation calls for a Triumph Spitfire. Parts are about as easy to come by as MGs, prices recently hit bottom on them, and they are super easy to work on. Plus it’s got a gorgeous profile.

That’s an easy one.

See?! Tailgating is dangerous and irresponsible.

Chevy 2.8 V6 with a 3-speed automatic and no overdrive AND A/C? A little quick math factoring in the weight and the ratio of the dual axle and I calculate this vehicle’s top speed to be -5 mph.

I get a different daily every few years. I bought my 1989 Firebird because I used to have a ‘91 Camaro and really enjoyed it, but wanted a 3rd gen with pop-up headlights and power windows. It took a bunch of searching, but I found this 1989 Firebird with 88k original miles, 305 V8 and 5-speed in really good condition.

It’s a good thing that guy doesn’t need to give his son a bris.

Vista Cruiser is the ONLY answer here. It’s everything a wagon was supposed to be with awesome extra windows on top.

That’s an easy one. My 1980 Triumph Spitfire. It puts a smile on everyone’s face. It’s hard to be angry at all when you’re driving something that looks like an adorable happy frog.

You really, really wanted to use the word “decubitus,” didn’t you.

Is it possible Ford decided it wasn’t worth the hassle of trying to bypass the chicken tax by pulling the seats after importing it? It sounds like if it wasn’t selling enough to pay for the legal fight, it had to go.
