Was once replacing the battery on my DD, in the driveway on a very hot day. Somehow managed to cross the terminals with the wrench I was holding, causing me to raise my head rapidly into the hood with a loud (and painful) clang. Which caused me to then duck. And unfortunately also caused the hood holder rod to…

The rear haunches of this car are pure sex in person. Great lines.

I drive with an ever-changing strategy fueled by paranoia

I’m here to spread the word. This is better than a Miata.

Everytime a Jalopnik article begins “we crashed” I get nervous.

This is a pretty fun question with a lot of interesting answers. How about Chrysler’s return to glorious return to rwd V8 fullsizers?
