Seen a few Minis and FiSTs here, so have to throw my former miniscule DD into the ring - Fiat 500 Abarth. Living as a single guy in a city setting it was convenient, but as a daily driver it suffered due to lack of interior space and quality.

Curious - how will the death of the Land Cruiser/LX in the US impact resale values for previous models (i.e. FJ40, 60, 80, and 100-Series)?

ugh. DUH. MJ! 

I don’t understand this reference but I am extremely intrigued

Minneapolis, MN here - one THOUSAND percent yes to winter tires. Turns my GTI into a little snow tank, I love passing giant 4WD trucks with shitty tires stuck in the snow.

And I have a ‘90s SUV with a 25 gallon tank that barely gets 300 miles ;)

got anymore tips for VAGs? ;)

having owned one (as my DD) for two years, I’d agree that this is a great weekend car but not a full-time DD.

there’s currently a Bentley S1 sitting in my office’s parking garage at this very moment.

Other reasons why I love rowing my own:

I just picked up a ‘97 LX450 with 135k on the clock for $8k, fun option

Same car, same words from same author from similar article from less than a year ago. It’s still lazy.

anyone got any insight as to why he’s still employed at Jalopnik?

is it better than their Instagram? Because it’s just reaaaaaallll spammy on weekends and that’s about it...

Fantastic article, per usual. Makes me seriously consider a road trip out to Monterey next August!

wpanik: now owns zero automatics!

this is exactly what my 2013 500 Abarth sounds like :)

this is St. Louis AF

hey I definitely have driven this exact car! used to valet in STL during my college days. I remember driving it and looking up how few stick Cayennes there were in the states. drove nice! but $30k...?

cannot unhear!
