This is a Cadillac station wagon. Not a hearse. A station wagon. A real, honest to goodness, coach built, Cadillac station wagon. I was gonna write a lovely tribute and enter the Cadillac Fleetwood Talisman, and I still might, but then I found this on Ebay.

Sometimes you can get a decent deal from these places as long as you don’t consider using their financing or credit schemes. I bought a Ranger for my dad from one of these places. I looked it over, I drove it and it looked decent with a little body damage but nothing major. It drove really well and the price was fair…

A couple more things worth noting...

My unicorn was a Burgandy 83 Targa 911 with brushed aluminum targa piller and black Fuchs wheels, it was $9500. I had a 928S at the time I thought was just as good. Who’s laughing now, not me.

It was awful then, it’s awful now...and I still love it. The ridiculousness of the mid-race wheelies, flips, spinning crashes, bouncing off invisible walls and more are all adapted into modern day equivalents.

Doing the redneck project math, no, you couldn't reproduce this for the price.

Thank God, I thought you were going to say he was gay or something.

Great stuff. I love the MR2 story - the AW11 was VERY picky about torque spec. From the Holy Book of AW11:

One of my close friend bought a Miata, he was frequenting a community of gear heads at the time.

“You’re not that fucking good, Alex.”

Been paying him to help us lose for years. Why stop just cause we released him?

The tweet has been deleted and Janay Rice apologizes for her involvement in this incident.

But this is Jalopnik, right?

Well it’s illegal to pass a school bus that’s stopped regardless of what side you pass on, so...

I drove my buddy’s and it was surprisingly nimble. Huge but nimble. Reminds me of the Mythbusters’ “Bull in a China Shop” episode. You’d think that a 3000 lb animal running between shelves of breakable stuff would end poorly. It barely touched any of the shelves.

At just 64 lbs shy of 5000 lbs and a 0-30 in freaking 1.2 seconds and 0-60 of 3.1.

I was driving through Malibu in my truck when I came to stoplight with a Bentley Mulsanne to my right. I looked over made brief eye contact, the light turned green and I got smoked harder than the last joint on Wiz Khalifa’s tour bus, I’ve never been so beat down and ashamed for not being rich and not being fast at…

The Aston Martin DBS.

I like this suggestion; this is Jalopnik, though, so I’ll counter with the SHO in wagon form.
