Pretty much any Chevy Monte Carlo every made. The newer ones might be a little too bland to be creepy, but the owners are generally creepy, so it all works out.

"You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me."

Newsflash: flooded below the rocker panels is "semi-submerged." Flooded up to the glovebox? That's fish food! Seriously—if the water really got that high, the only electrical item that wasn't waterlogged *might* be the windshield wiper motor. If this thing sells at anywhere near the asking price, the seller better…

I'm not sure what the point of a new New Beetle is. Back in '98, the then-New Beetle served its purpose as a halo car, reasserting Volkswagen's place in the American consciousness and drawing more people into VW showrooms. And most of those people, put off by the Beetle's lack of utility, bought a Jetta (if they…

Weird. The problem I had with mine was that it would actually spit the belt off sometimes during a 1st-2nd upshift when accelerating hard. I don't know if it was the relatively big rpm drop that caused an issue with the belt tensioner or what, but yeah, there were a few times when I lost the power steering, A/C, and…

Or the T-5R's granddad.

Personally, I've always been partial to the T-5R's daddy.

Hardly a sleeper with that tea tray hanging off the back, now is it?

Mine went through one while I had it. But I know from the service history that the previous owner had done one shortly before I bought the car. I ended up selling it to a friend of mine, and at the time I sold it, it was running fine, but not long after he bought it, we needed to replace the HG again. No issues…

I loved my Aero when it was running right, but man it had an appetite for head gaskets...

Yeah, the other problem is that the $252K is by no means a firm number. As anyone in the parts business knows, the longer it takes to fill a backorder, the more likely it is that the customer will cancel. $252K in unfilled orders in the first quarter of the year is not good for a company whose annual revenue was…

Most people would call those side *strakes*.

I understand that cars with frameless door glass and a high top speed need some kind of system for ensuring that the door glass does not flex outward at high speeds, which could cause annoying wind noise or worse. I also understand that some manufacturers have solved this problem by having the top edge of the door…

Yes, his hypothetical was not the best, but at the same time, GM *has* created a car that is, at worst, potentially more dangerous, or at best, potentially inconvenient. And what are the real benefits of this design? There are none.

A lot of fair points have been made in the comments responding to this article. Yes, the guy was dumb for not looking in his manual and figuring out the emergency door release. But yes, GM was also too clever by half for designing the car that way. What is the point of the electronic door release? Surely it is not…

Mine had a chrome-yellow Transporter. But the interior was brown leatherette.

I normally do not like the rubber-bumpered Stingrays, but it actually looks pretty good in brown!

@smackela: Followed closely by the "what the hell did you eat?" shit brown Vanagon.

It seems that every generation of the VW Transporter has been offered in some shade of brown or another. This is my favorite.
