So, basically, if they build this car, it could be a solid rear-wheel drive two-door with tight suspension, peppy engine, and maybe even a gated stick shift—sort of an anti-muscle car for those who want the performance and driving characteristics without the retro/boy-racer look.

@Ash78: 2.5: Don't hit kangaroo or pothole.

@Greater than a Ford Tempo: Pictures or it didn't happen!

Have there been any crash tests done on this beast? 'Cause right now, it seems more like population control than affordable transportation.

At least something good has come from Carpocalypse.

@☠Grяrяrяrяrяrяrя's 1997 Sonoma has gone an entire 254 miles...: For this guy's sake, I hope so:

@theeastbaykid: That's terrifyingly awesome!

Any road racer that can pull the inside front tire gets my respect.

Is it wrong that I'm surprised the car didn't fall apart under the weight of all those guys climbing on it in the title pic?

@Murilee Martin: Oh, it's definitely a sweet surprise. Well worth clicking on the link for.

How Jalopnik!

@Slantsick, with Infinite Improbability Drive: Now why you gotta bring us down like that?

That's nothing some come-a-longs and a little bondo can't fix.

@joneez is tired of all the Pinto hate: Eh, looks like somebody needs to get the carb cleaner and a rag.

@joneez is tired of all the Pinto hate: Wow. Just wow. I love the remote carb setup.

@boosted-lego-wagon: COTD! Oh, wait...

@discontinuuity: Dang. Now THAT car is Rock'n'Roll!

That story owns. The car, however, is not a 300 J, far as I can tell. At least, I don't think the 300 J came with that side trim OR a 2 barrel carb.

@JCWhitless - I'm totally Re-Starded: She's a beauty!

@LastAndLeast: Wow, I need to be more careful when using Firefox spell check. But yes, I do believe you have a valid point as well.
