It's a thing with four wheels. And an engine, with five cylinders. More details to come in a later post.

Know what's lame?

Teaser posts.

My car also has 5 cylinders.

That's just how I roll.

It's smaller than that. And much more Swedish.

If you'd posed this as a "guess what I just bought" with a few clues, I wouldn't have any issue with it, because it'd make for a fun game/discussion, but with the hundreds of authors here, little throw-away posts (like teasers) just get annoying.

It certainly could not be a Volvo

Something with a Volvo T5 judging on other comments from this post.

I'll admit, it is a little lame of me. It was going to be longer, then I just...got lazy.

It most certainly could not be.

I'm not going to attempt to guess any further because "four wheels and a five-pot" describes pretty much every late model Volvo

This is truth. Here's another hint: The first Volvo with an LPT. (At least I'm 90% sure it is)

Probably not a Acura Vigor, huh?

Oh yeah? I once bought something that fit that description. Technically it had six cylinders, but only 5 were producing power when I bought it...

The sixth was just optional. It's a feature!

On this car it wouldn't surprise me. It was an absolute stripper, the kind that has to be special-ordered (and it was...) to be so poorly equipped. No A/C, crank windows, 1 slider, no power locks or mirrors, no rear defroster. I was even surprised that it had FM on the radio.

And is that a donut I see on the rear?

Hells yeah, baby!. I was too poor to get a new tire, and I couldn't find a used one close to the right size. You should have seen the bitchin' Camry wheel cover I put on there once I replaced a few (not all) of the tires. It was just sitting there on the side of the road! Just a few scrapes on it, so it matched the car quite well.

Nope.

My car has 5 cylinders... plus 3.
