Same here. Those poor cars. Hits me right in the feels button. They say they don’t have souls, but can we really take that chance?

They should call it the Hindsight. Because Honda lacks it and the car looks like ass.

More like Foresight. As in, lack thereof.

I drove 6 hours, one way, to see a SAAB C900 convertible whose trunk had become an aquarium, free of charge. Thanks, seller, for not disclosing that before I hit the road.

When you find the Holy Grail, David, you don’t complain there’s a chip or a dent in it. You take it and you run.

The bones of this Golden Eagle are pretty solid and most of what it needs can be put off or dealt with relatively cheaply (don’t underestimate the generosity of the Jeep community). This pretty much puts it…

Customer: Hey, how’s it going Mr. Service Advisor?

Service Advisor: Not bad, but I haven’t hit my quota of rip-offs yet.

Customer: That sucks. Well, it’s only Monday, you’ve got time.

Service Advisor: Yeah. What do you want?

Right? I think it’d still be around if they called it the Grand Wagoneer. It was certainly nice enough to carry on the name. Everyone complains that it swilled gas, had boat-like handling and looked like a brick...and yet they open up their wallets for last-gen Grand Wagoneers to the tune of $15k+. Seems more than a…

Interesting, I never heard of that before.

The updated 4.7 with 305 hp. I’m pretty satisfied with it.

Male peacocking.

Well-played. Here’s your star.

Looks terrible, I don’t like it. Somehow, they’ve succeeded in making the current design look appealing by comparison.

Truly, we are amidst dark times in the Empire.

Not to be confused with the Millennial Falcon, which lives in its parent’s hangar until it turns 26.

What is this winter beater stuff you speak of? After years of using crap boxes in North Dakota winters, this 2008 Jeep Commander Limited is now my snowy steed. In fact, I’m going to do some baselining on it this weekend.

99% of the time, that’s true. For the past decade, 20-30 year old cars were my DDs. There’s the occasional exception to the rule and I’ve owned done of them. I had a 1993 XJ with 123k on the clock that I’d objectively rate as a solid 8/10, for the princely sum of $2500. I picked up a 1993 SAAB 9000 CSE in superb shape…

It’s a 21 year old car. Just how cheap does it have to be?

Screw Project Redwood.

You just found your shortcut to making it to the Easter Jeep Safari on time and in damn good style (looking at you, Golden Eagle).

I feel there’s more to this story and I’d be interested to hear it. : I

Years ago, I had a 1993 SAAB 9000. The return spring on the ignition took a dump and the vehicle stayed in the start position, instead of on. Since it was my only DD and I had to make it to work, I just went with it. However, it stayed in the parking lot because bad ignition tumbler and the starter got shot. This was…
