Your dad still has a working DVD player from ten years ago? He must never use it, either.

BTW, if you’re single and female and drive a stick shift, we should probably go ahead and get married yesterday.

The 850 was the best car Volvo made IMHO. I fell in love with them when I discovered the T5-R in college. They just run forever, handle pretty damn well for a FWD, and look so gorgeous!

Maybe I’m too stuck in my experience with the 1983 Cheyenne I bought in high school with a straight-six, a two-something rear end and four-speed overdrive manual trans; first gear might as well have been third in that dog.

I happen to be of the unattached variety, yes.

I tell this to all the parents coming in to buy a car for their kid. Manuals make you use both hands and both feet, so no fiddle-f’ing around with phones while driving, and you can see the light click in their head when I say it. When I bought a stick shift car for my kid, he objected with, “But, I don’t know how to…

$140K will get you a Yukon XL Denali with enough money left over for a Suburban LTZ. Both perfectly acceptable for the Hamptons/rich rapper crowd.

I got rid of my 2000 Cherokee for a minivan. That thing has twice the cargo space, more amenities (heated AND cooled seats!), and better gas mileage, to boot. I bought it simply to haul stuff around for my side business (I sell mid-century modern furniture). I feel super dorky driving it, but I haven’t had to use my…

“...the chassis... was so badly bent the doors wouldn’t shut, the roof was warped and even the seats and dashboard twisted totally out of shape. The engine block and gearbox casing were cracked, the whole front suspension completely shot and the wheels broken in half such was the impact of a 50 mph collision with an…

I didn’t even read the post. I immediately scrolled down and voted CP.

Since it’s related to engine size, I’m going with undisplacemented.

I like it.

There have been SS models of the HHR and Chevy’s smaller SUV, the TrailBlazer

I had one. It was the most bad-ass toy ever.

It’s a Green Machine.

Those were made by Marx Toys. Definitely for the proletariat.

Exactly. Pay the $4 a month for towing on your insurance, damn cheapskates.

I’d go with a G8 GT (GXP’s command over $30K for a good one). Cheap-ish to maintain, practical sedan configuration, contains arguably the best V8 ever made, lots of aftermarket for said engine, and good-looking to boot!

My Volvo carries an Argentinian Dogo and a Rottweiler, thank you very much... 

Beat me to it...
