Nice one.

Also this. Hot Wheels Steering Rigs. I picked two of these up at a yard sale last weekend. The last time I thought about them was literally the last time I played with one as a child - 25 plus years ago. Great feeling seeing them again - i was like I had these. Gave them to my boy. He loves them.

Nissan Axxess - The unicorn of sh!ty late 80s Japanese minivans.

Nice.

What Peter Schreyer has done with Kia is freaking unbelievable. Good automotive design doesn't cost anything, you just have to bend the bits differently. Kia has figured this out. Recent crop of cars - starting with the Soul - are the benchmark in quality mainstream automotive design. Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi…

I see your Chrysler TC and raise you a 1989 Buick Reatta. Kids like technology and anything retro 80s. The Reatta has both in spades. First its got the touch screen, which may or may not be working, and only has one color - retro Atari green. All part of the charm.

Shouldn't this be a cross post from the Brazilian office [www.jalopnik.com.br]

If you've ever driven in the Himalayas (or any mountain range in the developing world), there is nothing scarier than seeing one of these f*ckers in your rear-view window. Blind curves, shear drops, and crumbling roads are no match for the terror of Desi Bus. There is no Bollywood song and dance routine that can…

Flying Brick.

No Impulse? Something is rotten in the state of Jalop.

First generation Isuzu Impulse / Piazza. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, rare, Lotus-tuned suspension, rear-wheel drive, turbo charged.

There is uselessness for the sake of style - aka van der Rohe's Barcelona sofa. And there is just plain uselessness. The Solstice falls on the lazy side of uselessness.

I've got a Coupe. Only the Coupes (88-89) have the touch screens. As for signatures - each Reatta comes with a "Craftsman's Log" basically a little book with a bunch of signatures of some of Lansing, MI's finest who built the Reatta. GM inefficiencies at their finest. Lets hand build a car in Michigan with a touch…

Touch screen - circa 1989.

Problem with the Solstice Coupe is the interior is useless. Its the most careless collection of buttons, switches, and knobs every strewn together. Its like the designer showed up hungover on some random Thursday after lunch and left by 4:45.

The one unmolested 300zx twin turbo that will be left.

X6M. A 100K AMC Eagle SX/4. They very personification of motoring asshat but I would hoon her like the redheaded step child she is.

There are a bunch of great diecast photos here. Matchbox, hotwheels, corgi, tomica, etc. This hotwheels Avanti is hard to top. [www.matchboxporn.com]

I do like.
