Can’t say I’m surprised. They wasted a perfectly good opportunity to call the American FT86 the Toyota Celica instead of selling it as a Scion. And again when Scion folded and it became the Toyota 86, though that one I understand since it makes less sense to attach a name with clout to a car that far into its lifespan…

Can confirm, here is a Volvo 780 Bertone with M3-esque fender flares and Type As. I really want this car.

I have found my new life’s mission. Go to school and learn the skills needed to build my own car. Obtain AZ-1 factory blueprints. Scale them up and build an AZ-1 that a taller person can fit in. Because I’m 6'3" and I want one of these soooooooooooo hard.

Ooh man that engine bay is way nicer than I expected. The engine cover is just about big enough to be obtrusive but not quite. I dig this car more the more I see it.

This was a wonderful read, thank you! The photos captured exactly what I was hoping to see. One of my very specific car dreams is somehow getting my hands on an Autech R33 GT-R 4-door and tackling Hakone. Maybe someday. . .

Shit, TXR0 is probably my favorite PS2 racing game ever. The customization, the car selection, the sheer suspense you feel when a 13 Devils or Zodiac driver rolls up on you, it’s all great. And I never once skipped that intro video.

I appreciate Wranglers, but there’s this awful 2015 Wrangler 4-door in my town that I regularly see in the parking lot where I work. It’s got a matte black vinyl wrapped hood that says “Living Free” in military typeface down both sides. Would you guess it also has a vanity plate?

Hey Jalopnik, thanks for filing this under “Automotive Terrorism” and calling it what it really is. Much apprec’

“I had no idea Lincoln made a Navigator limousine.”

Look around on Craigslist and remind myself of all the shinies that could one day be available to me when the opportunity to move on presents itself.

I do feel bad for people who don’t know enough about car buying to not get screwed over. I once worked with a person who bought a mostly-good condition 2002 Chevy Malibu for $8,000. That is not a typo. It was bought through a local “cars ‘n’ credit” business that is supposed to help people with shitty/no credit buy…

Burden In My Hand is my favorite Soundgarden song, period. Especially for driving. That whole album is way underappreciated.

Calientake?

Hey, a Sisters Of Mercy reference on an autoblog. Before lunch, no less! Thanks for that, I’ve literally had many a daydream of driving around in a rad custom hearse while blasting Dominion or Temple Of Love . . . which could very well be this car’s name.

I looked through this site for anything they had to say about the Mustang (which we all know is the real street danger here), and I didnt find jack shit. Not one Mustang review. Searching for “Ford Mustang” or “2015 Mustang” brought up, among other things:

Y’know what, I’m gonna try to counterpoint this. My story is not an unhappy one.

Holy scheisse, look at all these opinions. I had no idea the internet was so big.

Looking at the rest of the staff’s cars, I was about to say “Volvo 240 wagon, brown, with a VW diesel engine swap for max weirdness.” None of the other writers main a wagon and uhh, heh, plenty of Dieselgate motors to go around.

I actually heard the drowning music in my nightmares a couple times as a kid. That was *not* cool.

Chrysler PT Cruiser!
