I took a Customer Service class once where they taught us something called “coffee-stain management”. Like, if you’re sitting on an airplane and you fold the tray table down and there is a coffee-stain on it, you look out of the window at the engine and think....”If they can’t clean the tray table, I wonder how they…

Thanks to David and Brandon for making this weekend the greatest automotive experience of my life thus far. The Briarwood will always be the anchor of my future fleet of shit boxes and I owe it all to you guys.

Is it bad that this era of Celica/Supra just doesn’t interest me at all?

$1.30 a pound. You can’t even get deli bologna for that price. Oscar Meyer on sale maybe. Neither one will be this yellow either. NP because sandwich math.

Which puzzles me honestly. It’s a fine convertible built with Chrysler style and Italian reliability.. Wait..... I’ve got that backwards.. Built with Italian style and Chrysler reliability... Hrm. That doesn’t quite sound right either. I’ve got nothing.

I met a dude that bought cars for movie shoots and I bet he would love to get a hold of this hunk of shit.

I was NP until I saw the Raiders sticker.

I’ve said it before, but I think Mazda really blew an opportunity to maximize the platform by engineering a version of the RX-8 with the 2.3L DISI turbo from the Mazdaspeed cars. While the point of the RX series was to highlight the Wankel, they were overall great sports car platforms even without the dorito keg,…

I keep being tempted to buy a rotary. I know it’s a terrible idea, but rotary....

Growing up in Germany, the T3 was a staple. Coaches had them (no minivans yet). Contractors had them. Sports clubs. I drove them all over the place during military service (with water-cooled 1.6l diesel engines, though - there was a turbo version, but the Bundeswehr didn’t go for that sort of thing - 0-60…

Didn’t they sell the pre-1983 T3s (Vanagon) in the US? Those were air cooled (they went to the water-cooled flat four in 83 - the “Wasserboxer”)

How about a targa wagon?

Four out of 12 Jalops agree: the only car you should ever purchase is a Karmann-Ghia!

I always got an early T-Bird vibe off them from the side, and the rear. Not a bad thing at all.

Agreed. We need more rotary engined cars. I suggest Mazda should pull the trigger on this concept. Anyone else second that emotion?

That luggage rack might look fine on grandpa’s TR6, but it doesn’t work on this car.

Cheap? Wedge? Track Car? Unusual?

I think most bikes hover around $90-100. the S1000RR and S1000R are both there. the triumph street triples and 675 are there. ducati monster 821, 959, hyper 939, 1299. the hayabusa I think is still the lowest but that’s only because its so damn cheap. the literbikes cost more than the busa

Need to put the current Crop of Liter class bikes in this comparison GSXR1000, Yamaha R1, Honda CBR1000RR.

I call that interior “Dessicated Shar Pei Butthole.”
