...Is the feeling you get when you realize your mom's '11 Jetta 2.5 scores almost double what an MK5 R32 gets on the Jalopmeter!
how....

Same way my '70 VW bus that tops out at about 35 mph scores more than my Z06 and my M3 combined . The system, she is flawed.

Bet you pick up more chicks in that bus than the z06 and M3, combined.
Is the system really flawed?

Yeah it gave my bronco a really low rating because
It thinks its an SUV
Its not, its a MPV - Multi Purpose Vehicle
It also has 4 cup holders and 3 ash trays, and it didn't like that...
my marauder did pretty well though

Last time I checked my car scored huge merely from being a three door hatch, with an engine that was repurposed from another manufacturer.

Things of sadness: I'm using the Jalopmeter to help influence the decision, "Miata" or not...
Candidate 1 - 1982 Fiat 2000 Spider
150 points on the Jalopmeter
Candidate 2 - 1990 Miata
136 points on the Jalopmeter.
And, let's compare this to my daily, a 2013 Mazda3...
36 points on the Jalopmeter.

Hate to double-comment, but the Jalopmeter is broken. How else can my Mazda3, which is a manual hatchback as God, The Blues Brothers and Oppo intended, have a lower Jalopscore than my mom's automatic Fiesta sedan?
Seriously, 36 points for the MZ3, versus 40 for an slushbox-equipped sedan? :(

Nah, chicks aren't scared of the Z06 or M3 until I start driving. When they climb in the VW and see the street through the floorboards, they're scared almost immediately.
