Sooooo close. French, and the rear reminds me of an old streamliner in all the right ways, but they must’ve come up with that front-end at 4:15pm and then knocked off work early. Some good shapes, just not very well integrated to the splash guard.

Interesting? Absolutely. Is it cool? Probably not, though I will concede…

Story doesn’t track. They claim he went in for food, yet there was no mention of him eating a meatball Shorti while using the trashcan as a table.

I kinda like it. It’s one eye-searingly radical paintjob and a pile of LED lighting upgrades away from perfect, or at least being a helluva lot more fun than the average bro-dozer with ocean-liner funnels jammed through the bed.

I firmly dislike this price by about five-ish, so I’m out.

Something I noticed: “. . . Club…

Honestly, any mid-90's Japanese compact and below was a death trap, though. 

Keystone State represent! Philly area here.

I’ll fully admit I wouldn’t by this for a daily, but something for the house down at the “shore”. . ? (Or “beach” because there is a difference here in the tri-state area.)

Oh yes.

Addendums and general replies:

The four-wheel-drive argument barely holds water here. This not the off-roader you’re looking for. It’s a well-maintained little trucklet meant for bopping around town and beach-cruising. No, not on the beach, but the main strip next to it, in rad style. There’s still plenty of crusty…

I feel anyone who “No Dices” this should be made to explain themselves publicly.

You think you’re old? I expected this.

Which is the killer. If you spend all your (very significant) commuting/business time in a saddle, it makes sense, 110%. Some electrons, a little schmoo squirted into the various fittings now and then, new meats and pads, plus a barely necessary inspection sound about right for the yearly costs?

Us casuals, who…

If that ever happened, an Opel Speedster would be on the first boat.

Gah, so just the “regular” 9HP? Damn. When I heard “granny gear” I thought you were referring to a manual transmission. I’dve been performing transplant surgery on my Renegade, like, yesterday if that was the case.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did I hear correctly? The diesel Renny has a proper granny gear?

Son of a b. . . Kinda annoyed to hear they didn’t give the fat Abarth (we only get a manual with the 1.4T up here) the same transmission. I’ve said this car woulda been a killer light-duty off-roader with one, but it would’ve undermined…

Classically, compact-coupe based Mustang and Camaro/Firebird were “pony cars” as opposed to intermediate-based “muscle cars”. . .

Hah! This is what makes “muscle car” such a frustrating thing to define: like the English language itself, too many exceptions. Sure, the Nova makes the cut. . . but then do we need to let the Mustang in for essentially being a reskinned Falcon with some Fairlane parts? Is there enough X in the F to let the Cambirds…

Call me when they make a version of the Mx Pure with it, without fucking up why I’d want the Pure in the first place. Then I’ll care, and you know why.

In the interest of further pedanticism, I’m going to flag the M440/M4. They’re compact coupes, and muscle cars were the intermediates, aka mid-size.  The E62/3 and F12/3 were BMW’s muscle car.

Nooooooooope. They’re a little more ambitious.

I’m in the same boat as you. That and a Scout would scratch that V-twin potato bike while looking far better, IMO.

It is a thing I’d rather not acknowledge, like the archaic Generation Catalano. Which is also a thing we’re referred to. Out of the four “official” things (including that lazy recycling of “the lucky few,” aka the Silent Generation, into “the lucky ones”), I’ll stick with the bestest because if you don’t understand…

Ew, no.

Well, maybe you are. I mean, potato, po-tah-to. Go hang out with the “Boom-Xers.”
