True fact. You can haul 4x8 sheets of drywall and plywood, laid flat, in a Honday Odyssey. They're out of the elements, protected from dings and bumps... As minivans go, that's a good one. Way more versatile than the CX-5. You can stash bikes in there, out of the rain! 

I'm siding with your wife on this one.

... and then the hooker gave him back the money and said "buy some shoes that fit."

Has nobody ever taught you the art of "rocking" you car out?

No-hands donuts make me happy.

Agreed. That engine, with a little more room to breathe, in a lightweight car like say... the first NSX... awesome.

A friend of mine has a Gen 1 RDX. I have to admit, it's a blast to drive. With the turbo and the paddle-shifters, and AWD, we hammer the hell out of it in the snow and it's a riot. It's predictable, the turbo spools up really smoothly with little lag, the AWD system is brilliant at sending power where you need it. 

It's…

I would do shameful things to get my hands on one of these.

Stock wheels from a (possibly) Toyota SUV. Good for off-road drags.

Fuck it. It's a Prowler. I can't get a picture to link. 

Apparently linking pictures still needs a little work?

How they could have released this car with a N/A, wheezy V6 is beyond me. I've seen these at shows with twin-turbos, superchargers, and enough hp to actually light up those back wheels. I saw one once that had been torn apart so the owner could throw a Porsche Flat-6 in the back end. I don't know if that was a good…

I live in the middle of Alberta's petrochemical alley. We have 19 year old kids making $150,000/year. They have no sense of taste and a burning desire to spend their $$ as fast as possible. I could probably fill your order.

I sort of see your point. Is it uncanny? No. But it does share some of the same design language:

There isn't a good one (yes there is a shitty one) available for my Pentax K100D. It's one of the reasons I'm upgrading this year to a K5.

*slow golf clap.

Here in Canada we got the generation 1 cars - that were actually worth owning - complete with stupid names:

If there was a "Like" button on Jalopnik...

Obnoxious name, obnoxious person, obnoxious sub-culture... The SmartCar, Ed Hardy Edition. Yes this is a real thing, produced for Mercedes and Giovanna Wheels, and shown at SEMA; back when Ed Hardy was somewhat relevant.

I get it. But to say pre-war is a purely US thing in this context. However, as jalopnik has a global audience, referring to something as pre-war means, for most of us, prior to 1939.

I love how the guy in the passenger seat looks all "Hell no this isn't my car."
