When we issued the Jalopnik Million Dollar Challenge(TM), we were hoping Mr. Jalopy from Hooptyrides would step to it, since we have great respect for his obsession with (and knowledge of) all vehicles exotic and pedestrian. Thankfully, he took precious little cajoling to compile a list that has turned out to be so stocked with accessable classics, that 17 cars into it, he still hadn't cracked a half-mil. That, people, is the sign of a true enthusiast, or a crackpot — we can't decide which it is.
