    Wow, that's the greatest song ever, aside from one minor technical error: how many early Subarus had sunroofs and tachometers? Glove-box doors, even? At least they got the four-on-the-floor right.

    Please. The float requires the platform of a 50s or 60s sedan and/or wagon with yards of flat surface and a hot V8 for the bass note. You can create anything on that with some chickenwire and crepe paper streamers.

    Then again, one car would hardly do because we need the old Citroen as well as a Veyron or equivalent.

    A 1988 Subaru Justy 4x4 was the first and only car I ever paid retail for in my entire life.


    I bought it when my VW Thing's windshield wiper motor fell off and fouled my pants - just before flying from Vermont to Seattle on business.


    The Justy served me well for 100,000 miles. I then gave it to a woman who's husband had walked on her and her child. I made her promise to change the oil and check the air in the tires every 3,000 miles.


    5 years later she called me and said "you can have your Justy back". She married, and new hubby gave her an Audi A4.


    218,000 miles and it still ran like new. I ultimately sold it to a skanky bitch of a girl who drove it to California.


    It's probably still on the road.


    I work at a VW dealership. Three of the mechanics drive Justy's. One with a VW logo on it.

    Anybody else remember a two-door "coupe" version of a Justy? It was a sort of sports car-looking thing. A buddy had one, lifted on hilariously big tires, in white, with "FUN JUSTY" along the flanks in teal and pink. I think it almost had enough horsepower to move. He informed me that his car listed its 0-60 as "Optimistically possible".

    I was recently in an ancient faded pink SEAT--one giant windshield wiper, busted door handles, rat's nest of wires where the ignition more or less was--yet the little bugger ran like a champ. In spite of the faded pink--even on the wheels, it was a very Jalpnik car. Manual throttle too. Basic transportation? Hell yeah!

    @sos10: I believe you have it there. The door handle was a push button with a little place for your fingers. I think it was Fiat based; it was about that color except faded and the wheels were also pink. I have no idea how old it was. It did a steady climb in the snow above the Ruhr river to the Kaiser Wilhelm monument outside Dortmund. No dash, no glove box, just a kind of shelf and some hip abstract patterns on the seat upholstery.

    @General Halfshaftery: I suspect that their hill-holder system was just the fact that the 4wd system had so much resistance in the drivetrain that there wasn't enough weight in the car to overcome it and cause it to roll.

    According to Wikigrainofsaltopedia, the '54 Austin Healey 100s was the first production car with four-wheel discs.

    @BrakeLookTurn, Slantsick- on the 12th floor of the ACME Building: IIRC, neither of those cars were assembly-line mass-produced. Studebaker (discs were optional on all the non-Avantis that year) brought disc braking to the masses!
