Having owned a number of Volvo wagons (along with a few Audi and Mercedes wagons) over the years, you'll get no argument from me—I, too, prefer the squared-off rear end for utility, and in most cases, for looks, too. But the QOTD was, "what car looks better from the back than the front"? As one of the progenitors of…

Good point!

Why? You have something against werewolves playing video games?

Yeah, now that you mention it, I do remember that. But Super Sprint was better!

YES!!!! Just grab the wheel and give it a massive spin as you floor it through the corners with the ass-end of the car hanging out!!

The Audi 5000 Avant, although this is truer for the '84-'85 US-spec models with the sealed beam headlamps than it was for the ROTW 100/200 Avant and '86-and-later US-spec 5000/100/200 Avant which all had flush headlamps that worked much better with the Audi's aerodynamic shape.

And now for something completely different...the Edsel Bermuda wagon. The front end may have looked like it was sucking lemons, but the back end—what a wonderful riot of '50s color, space-age styling, and woodgrain applique.

Meh. It just doesn't look like a Volvo to me. It lacks any recognizable Volvo styling cue except for the slash badge across the grille. Remove that and what do you have? Just an exceedingly bland coupe.

What? No Super Sprint??? Totally unrealistic in terms of driving dynamics, but then, weren't all of these games? What Super Sprint had going for it was: 1) multiplayer capability (up to 3 players, if I remember right) and 2) upgrade capability (as you won races, you earned money which you could use to improve your…

Bingo. If I don't get on the stick and fix the plug-fouling, misfiring nightmare that is my XJR soon, it will end up like this in ten years.

Don't let the facial hair fool you. As J. Walter Weatherman has pointed out, Murilee is a saucy minx.

The best thing that could be done with this car at this point is to move the decimal point one digit to the left, put some Pep Boys seat covers on it, get an Earl Scheib paint job, and drive it around to car shows as the ultimate trolling piece. Because it makes no economic sense to try and restore it properly. If…

Yep. I reckon the C70 had a stronger familial connection to the P1800 than this bland hodgepodge of modern-day styling cues. And the C70 looked nothing like the P1800.

Carfax wouldn't show whether the vehicle had been used to store dead bodies. That being said, there has to be more to this story than is being reported. The dealer had no legal duty to disclose that the car had been previously stolen unless it resulted in a salvage title. It is possible that the dealer is buying…

Oh, for sure. It's just kind of sad that form receives such short shrift. I miss the days when machines were both functional and attractive *in their functionality*. When machinery is both highly functional and pleasant to look at (and not because it's covered by a shroud, but because the mechanical parts…

And nary a plastic cover in sight!

Maybe it's time for Ward's to have a "Best Engine Covers" list??

The "Engine Porn" tag is misleading. Looking at these engines is about as exciting as looking at a woman (or man) shoveling the driveway while bundled up in a snowsuit, hat, gloves, scarf, and boots. He/she may be able to shovel the driveway like nobody's business, but they're not much to look at, buried under all…

Sorry, Ford, but "We Jam Transit" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

I think Eddie Irvine and David Coulthard have both mentioned dropping a deuce in their suits during a race. Definitely not the ideal situation, as the g-forces during an F1 race would probably cause it to migrate god-knows-where in the suit, but when you've gotta go, you've gotta go.
