"Let me go on the not-a-Subaru side of this."

undercoverfrog commented on Project Car Hell, Debacle Edition: Matra Murena or Alpine A310?

"Yes the Alpine (all Alpines - although the A110 is cooler) kicks serious ass, but my old neighbor used to park his Matra Something with those kickass three seats across next to my equally french '92 Renault Clio."

"Ok, here's the deal: I'm in France."

undercoverfrog commented on Jalopnik Fantasy Garage: Double Execution Day

"I'm voting 928 because I think it looks a little too much like a 944 (or the 944 looks too much like it - whatever), which I really just don't like."

undercoverfrog commented on How Jalopnik Is Your Car?

"What happens if you have a 4 banger but only three cylinders work? anyway, Renault Clio '92 1.2 liter gas!"

undercoverfrog commented on Free Car Rentals for Frenchies! (Kind Of)

"This system (apparently) works well for bikes in Paris - Velib' is a network of bikes throughout Paris for a nominal fee (29E or something per year for unlimited access). The problem with a car is: If I've got to move a whole load of top soil, or my cat that has diarrhea am I going to 1) take the metro."

undercoverfrog commented on It's 1981: Torn Between a Sports Car and a Truck?

"I think the most amazing thing is that they had an EPA highway rating of 32mpg...does any truck (real truck, no like Escape hybrid shit or anything) get >30mpg in 2007?"

"@Rust-MyEnemy: Do you ever feel bad rooting against the $$?"

undercoverfrog commented on Porsche? Or Porsche?

"I know it's "poors_uh", but generally say "porsch" because I don't want to be that stick-up-the-ass guy that everyone hates. For everyone that's saying "It's a proper name" how would you pronounce the name of a German chick "Christine"...it's exactly the same thing to me. I will vote for bi-syllables though, 'cause technically that's correct."
