Hands down, always and forever, without a doubt, the absolute worst rental car you can get is the Nissan Versa.  Everyone I have ever driven are slow and uncomfortable.  The engine noise is usually this obnoxious drone.  1st gens were far and away worse than the 2nd gen, but that’s like saying Shitsburg is worse than…

Nah, Jacksonville at least has a river and some decent beaches, Phoenix has no reason to exist other than man’s hubris.

This is the model before the compostable wiring cars.  If it’s original 90% or better chance that its R12, 134 wasn’t a thing until like 94-95 I think, especially on a car that was designed in the 80s. 

They usually have to add bracing all over the place to replace the rigidity lost by chopping the top. So much of the strength of the car is in the roof that a convertible usually ends up way heavier than the fixed roof car. Cross bracing underneath the car, extra rigidity added through the doors and usually a beam…

Maybe if you really wanted to take your Cruella de Vil cosplay to the next level. CP

The only people who NP this thing are trolls or the family of the idiot who owns this thing.  It’s okay dear your dumb car is special to you so it’s special to me.  CP without even reading the article, no Fiero is worth that much.

David, your Jeeps have been fabulous content, some of the best on Jalopnik. However waiting on you to get back to the J10 and the Golden Eagle while you tell us about another XJ has been infuriating.  This thing is more interesting than most of the XJs in your fleet and we barely get little nuggets about it.

I think most owners have realized they can make buckets of money off of an NFL franchise whether they suck or not it just depends on whether they believe spending more money will make them more money. 

I think you have the complete wrong angle at this. Rising talent, paying him, blah, blah. I think the Jags are probably 1 step away from Super Bowl push or having to firesale and start over. Kicking BortLess to the curb and paying big bucks to get BDN on the Jags is kind of a hail mary of sorts. It seemed they were so…

I’m trying to be positive here, but that is difficult.  I’ll just say that this thing exists, that’s the most positive thing I can come up with for this car.

Which part?

Not that I have a problem with the car itself, I just feel like no car over 200K miles can be worth that much money and for that I have to CP.

You have some keen Insight to the situation.

All the crap that has to be added to make them emissions compliant is complicated and expensive. Plus these days diesel = turbo = just one more part to go wrong. Last guy I knew who had a diesel F250 had a head gasket go bad, in a gas engine you pull the engine to do the job, on a 250 with a diesel you had to take the…

You also have to remember that gas engines suffered greatly with all the emissions regulations put on them during that time period. It’s probably only been in the past 10 years we’ve started to see power numbers really climb all while being more efficient and cleaner than ever. This is basically replacing the old Ford…

With an engine like this you’ll also not likely have massive MPG swings between towing and not towing. A motor that can consistently make that kind of power from way down low won’t be stressed pulling a load, so you’ll likely get 10-14 MPG highway towing and 16 not, aerodynamics of your load will mean way more. I also…

I think stole the idea for the light bulb is a bit of a stretch. He invented the first long lasting practical light bulb. His patent is even called “Improvement In Electric Lights.” A bunch of guys were working on it, but their results were either too expensive, impractical, or not long lasting.

Under $2k runs and drives, isn’t made up of mostly rust, easy NP next.

Yes, we don’t want this to be a Prelude to violence.

I’ll disagree on one point the 458 is prettier than the 488.
