Everywhere, old Landies are weeping tears of 20w50, gear dope, anti-freeze, and swivel ball grease.

Best idea since this:

True enough. Now get off my lawn!

Those would be called louvers, not "cheese grater visors."

Yes, it's so much better when people stay squarely within the adventurous grayscale box.

Growing up, one of our neighbors had two Opel GTs done up that way. If impressing 10-year-olds was his goal, he succeeded. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the point was.

Did the Jetta have the full "AMG treatment" (white grille, door handles, window trims, etc.) to go with those "Euro" wipers? Gotta love those '80s cars that look like they were powdercoated in Pablo Escobar's pole barn.

"Euro" wiper arm boots and wings, particularly in "neon" colors.

What the hell's a "Turring Sedan"?

But neither does "no worse than the competition" make it a terrible idea. Indeed, in terms of what Chrysler needed at the time, it could hardly have been more successful.

Yeah, a cheap, versatile and fairly durable platform that saved Chrysler's hide and allowed them to pay off the government loans early...that sounds like a terrible idea. Sure, most of the K-car variants were fairly uninspired, but look at what else was available at the time. GM X-, J-, and A-bodies? Ford Fairmonts…

Is it just me or is this a poor choice in names?

Needs 10 moar cylinders and no turbo.

"extreme RPM [revolutions per minute] revs" is kinda like saying "ABS [anti-lock braking system] brakes."

Besides, this is out in Oakland County, which most assuredly is not broke. As noted above, this is an FBI operation so the only cost to the county is for a few OCSD vehicles there to keep gawkers away and limit traffic on Buell to residents only. Sure, it's probably a waste of time but for whatever reason, the Feds…

Let's not forget the Chevy Citation IV and Ford Probe IV. Wheel spats and the number IV are where it's at!

Well, that's what we're talking about here—spiritual predecessors, right?

Indeed.

Great song, but terrible version! Clapton's solo was decent, but his "clean Strat" sound during the verses doesn't do this song a bit of justice. Honestly, it sounded like a plodding hotel-lounge-band cover of a Cream song.
