I never thought I’d find a use case, but this seems like the perfect opportunity to recommend:

This is easy - I just did it myself. Get yourself an old SAAB convertible as a winter car. The weight and the drive is up front, the roof well insulated, the heating perfect for a Swedish winter. I’d even argue that the design is ageless.

Probably comes up way cheaper than $14k for a good one, and gives him plenty over…

Because Americans, like Alton Brown, hate unitaskers. Most people should be using mini cars in places they make sense like dense urban areas, and renting a pickup from Home Depot for $25 for the 75 minutes they actually need them every other year. We should also be building out robust public transportation on the…

I am on Miata #4, but this feels click baity.

Tesla engineers take note: this is the result of a vehicle that was properly designed to be rugged and reliable. Meanwhile, a Cybertruck is bricked after splashing through an inch deep puddle.

It needs a belt service and some tires in the near future

The Gladiator not making this list is a miscarriage of justice. Also the renders of the 2 door H3 were pretty good for the time.

Yeah, I know. Been insufferable around here ever since Gawker got sued into oblivion. NPOCP oops... NPOND is the last safe space for folks with thick skin.

That truck is a serious money maker. Nice price all day long. 

I am for literally anything that is bad for dealerships.

I wish we could just nuke the dealer franchise laws from orbit. 

I own the car you want. ‘08 Pontiac G6 GT convertible. FWD, comfortable, a great cruiser, and it’s been reliable for me. I’m at 125k, and it’s still going strong.

Unless it was Jo(h)n Voight’s car, no deal.

I think they put that last so as to generate an extra 20 clicks per visitor. 

Draw a Venn digram of all those things — comfort, safety, FWD, mature, under $15K, reasonable maintenance, Colorado-climate friendly, good road-tripper — and you’ll see this baby right dead set in the middle:

I bet you can find a Buick Cascada with like 75k miles for around $14-15k. It’s FWD and should be relatively cheap to repair. It’ll have crap resale value, but at least it looks better than the Solara.  On the plus side -- no one will know what it is.  When is the last time *you* saw one of these?

No love for the 1976 Gran Torino in the Barenaked Ladies’ “One Week” video? Know they’re a bunch of goofy Canadian dads and not the coolest guys, but there’s a classic hood slide in that video.

Right?! That should have been slide 1

Small reminder to take this all with somewhere between a pinch and a bucket of salt. Everyone cheats at ring times. Also not everyone runs the ring for times.

Anyone think the rumoured 1000hp hybrid Corvette could make it on the list?
