    Cruisin' for another ho...

    Oh, Guido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...

    That red Civic? Doing it very, very right, provided that the bike is well-restrained.


    My grandmother had an XC like that, but without the modifailcations.


    And the Avalanche is nearly as ugly as a Ssangyong, and uglier than an Aztek.


    Is that black dude unzipping... actually, yes. Never mind. Going away now.

    Number 8 proves that you actually can make the OG Avalanche even uglier.


    Lastly: Anyone else having trouble viewing Jalopnik in expanded form?

    what the fuck is #30? is it a Honda, BMW, or a Benz?


    and seriously, #7 isn't car related and neither is #9 or #25...

    @B1663R: #25 is a train car... I used to do that with my HO trains all the time. Run the train really fast (of course) and flip a switch right between the front and rear truck of a car! Repeat with all the cars in the train and you end up with an accordion! Good times...

    Did they use a radial arm saw to make the tires on #5? I dig the car's milspec color. Must belong to a splinter faction.

    #23 is the best. I do that opportunity I get. I know, I'm a jerk. It's so funny though.

    @Maymar is (insert recent meme here): Actually, I distinctly recall one of the car mags, several decades ago, actually printed a pen-and-ink concept drawing of a '70s Civic hatch cut away as a cycle hauler in just this same manner. It was jacked-up slightly, with rivet-on fender flairs and off-road tires.


    I want to say Car Craft or Popular Hot Rodding?


    Wish to hell I had a multi-dimensional Google and a time machine handy.
