Agreed, though being an "Murican" I have the Japanese sense of compact. One of my first cars was a 77 Honda Civic CVCC. I haven't driven a 2 door blazer since 1989 but I recall it holding my 6'6" well whereas my friends 1998 RAV4 didn't do as well. I will admit my memory might be tweaking its recollection of the…

This one is interesting enough. I'll bite. NP. Hope those brakes have been updated too.

6:30a.m. on a June Sunday morning. Nary a speck of traffic in Chicago. Flew through there and their 45mph speed limits along about 75 and was the slowest car on the road that morning. Any other time of day and (according to google traffic) it sucks.

So it's not me and my tastes evolving. It's still OK, I just figured it was a cultural thing. I get a lot of British humor, but I also know I miss quite a bit of their references as well. I relate well to Rut and like they have a pro driver as a host. Adam was the third wheel for me until he jumped that caddy in the…

yes it is a lot of $$$. but i just don't care. I'd buy it in a red hot second if it ran out OK on a test drive. Irrational NP win for me.

I'm in the small minority that prefers the US version.

I still sometimes miss that ol' 81 celica, but alas it was a slushbox so it had to go. Huge mistake getting rid of that car. Should have driven it into oblivion instead of driving it most of the way there (it had 190k on the clock when I parted ways with it).

damn forgot about Jeep. You're right. It's the most valuable part of the company and I totally forgot about it. It's so different than Chrysler or Dodge that it's good to go.

in my mind those S-10 blazers are mid-sized SUVs...even the 2 door ones from like 1988. Small SUVs to me are things like the first gen RAV4.

none taken. my sarcasm did not come across very well in my post.

2nd Gear:

Chrysler needs to build something that looks modern instead of these mafia staff car monstrosities (Heisenberg's 300 notwithstanding—that thing is plenty cool).

My head says CP, but the fact it is only 2k makes me ignore all those red flags. NP for the illogical win.

sure because you can pour this goop in the radiator and it'll fix the head gasket. I did that one time on a early 80's toyota 22R engine I had with a blown head gasket. Car ran for another 25,000 miles trouble free. Not saying the more complex northstar engine could handle a bottle of goop in the radiator that you buy…

I'd love to see the Heisenberg edition of that New Yorker. How much cooler would Walt be riding in vintage iron instead of that new 300?

One day I'll own a 300D wagon and a tweed jacket with professor pads.

What no 80 zones along I-70? Kudos on raising it on I-15, I-80, & I-84, but I-70 needs the bump up too. Better yet, bump it to 90 from the CO border all the way to the terminus at I-15 (with a some exceptions—where there's big elevation changes or narrow canyons to drive through come to mind).

I was leaning NP because I love wagons and Audis are beautiful cars. However I don't trust Audi mechanicals once the miles pile up, and this one is about to cross into high miles territory. I'll give it another 10k miles before the heart aches begin. Then I saw that it had been dropped, and that sealed its CP fate for…

dollars to donuts, next 5 iteration will have skyactiv. I've heard nothing and am only guessing, but my bones tell me this will come.

Repeat after me, "YOU NEVER GET OUT OF IT WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT." That is all.
