True, but yeah it was worth it, that and his CarMax RangeRover kickstarted Big Daddy Dougs career. And hell OG Jalp set off a few careers Doug, Tavarish, Farrah, Alanis, Kristen among others I am sure I forgot.

I love Jason, he’s great, but he’s not a professional crash tester. And admittedly I am not either, so that’s why I included quotes from the people who are. 

Do better Jalopnik.

I’m having flashbacks to your previous period of employment at this online publication when you would post practical motorcycle reviews and people would, for some reason that I’ve never understood, crap all over you.

I found a cool thing on the internet, thought it was fun, and shared it with you. If you don’t like it, you can read one of the other five pieces I’ll publish today. Thanks for your feedback. 

Hey Lawrence- major props for honestly discussing a  difficult issue.  It would’ve been easier and understandable to just walk away from that experience without sharing it.  By doing so, it normalizes a very common difficulty (panic/claustrophobia).  I hope you can get back in a rally car in the future, but even if…

Mazda6 Wagon. Though it looks like the only places where you can get the turbo engine is in RHD countries. So while technically they may not sell LHD wagons with the turbo, I am going with that. Alas, I don’t think there are any countries where you can get the turbo with a manual.

I found a copy of that that someone had squirreled away.

Bentley needs to be more like Koenigsegg and build a car that’s so slow it only needs a one-speed transmission. Very irresponsible.

I believe this is also a wagon

That was my submission. Great minds. 

Holy shit! I came to post this, but worried it was too obscure, but meanwhile it’s sitting up top.

Agreed, this list is bunk without it. 

I know that I upvoted a comment for this in the QOTD post, so I’m quite dismayed to not see it in the slide show.

Is that the prototype Turbo Interceptor M4S from the Wraith?

I still want one but you cant update the infotainment system without a bunch of crummy brackets and the gas mileage is not great for the modern day. I drive too much for sub 30 mpg.

I hope you never need a blower motor.

Here here. Bought one new in 2013, it’s got just about 150k on it. It is now my 20 year old son’s vehicle and believe it or not he loves it. The mini mini van - interestingly, we traded in a Kia Rondo for it (also on this list)
