That seemed to be the way it went in the ‘90s - just make a two-door version of an existing econobox, make the bigger engine standard, slap some letters on the end of the name and call it done. Escort ZX2, Cavalier Z24, Neon R/T, etc. Of course, the Japanese did this better with the Civic Si and Sentra SE-R.

As Michael Waltrip said after winning a rained out Daytona 500 in 2003, they still give you the whole check and the whole trophy.
They’re making up for lost time now. Congrats Bubba!
As an Iowan: FUCK ETHANOL!
My first car was a Mk2 Escort, the euro/Australian one. Since moving to the US, every time someone asks about my first car I have to explain “It was an Escort, but not the one you get here...”
That b&w pic of the FS looks like a GT. Its got the gt wheels and the two tone paint. My first car was a 88 escort wagon and I later bought a project turbo car 88 GT off of my brother. Those cars were great then, I’m good with that.
You do know that’s not Bradley in those photos, right? 😒
They’ll soon hear from lawyers in the wondrous land known as America, as they try to craft lawsuits blaming these turn signals on causing rear-end collisions (even though drivers have heretofore been responsible for rear-ending vehicles in front of them).
This was also an issue with the Edsel Villager, as I recall.
Daddy heavily invested in both of those teams, and when they got different funding, bought a team for the little one.
I’m 100% behind you on the “bashing Stroll is old hat” sentiment, but he *was* hired at Williams when Daddy Strollbucks started pumping money in there, and then when Lawrence’s majority stake in the consortium bought Racing Point, Lance moved over there -- a move that was unexpected by no one. So, Lance certainly has…
Agreed! Because before daddy bought the team, he was STILL the son of a billionaire, and his coming to the team meant he was bringing a CRATE of cash with him. (See Mazepin, and Latifi for more examples of this phenomenon).
Yeah, but there will always be a shadow of doubt when someone had to actually pay for his seat. I don’t say he is bad or whatever, but this certainly played - and is playing - role in his career.
No.
1) I love the car - these were a really nice quasi-luxury cruiser in their day, and decently well-made as well.
“The R35 GT-R is very old. I know it, you know it and Nissan knows it.”
Can we just get people to admit that they like and want tall wagons? Would that be so bad?
That’s a thing of beauty. Equally endearing and easy to own is Morris Minor.
No shit. All these comments about the horn, ignoring the fact that the other driver RAN THE GODDAMN LIGHT.
Definitely, it’s what makes the show so great. Where else will you see a Ferrari F-40 and a Countach parked a few spots down from a Teal Metallic Geo Prizm and a rusted out Dodge Diplomat?
