Can't say mine is very good, a WRX STI, 300 Hemi, couple of Camrys, lots of trucks (Canada), and a few mom SUV's. Plus my Sonoma of course!

How Jaloppo (new word!) is your parking lot?

Best thing out there is a Touareg. A few old Civics, an Element, an automatic Golf, automatic Subaru Legacy sedan (late 90s, good car but automatic), a scion xb, and four of us took the bus to work.

So... not very jaloppo...

I had an awesome 80's BMW in the garage, but I don't think they work here anymore because I haven't seen it in a while. I wish I remembered the badge on it. There is an R8 that comes in every once and a while, but its rare.

I guess I don't count as I work at a MINI/BMW dealership but employees drive BMWs new and old, I have an e39 540i and an e46 wagon, theres a bunch of F30s. Others Jeep Wranglers (some Jeep fans here), 2 Audi S4s, G37s Coupe, Silverado Diesel.

Outside my building (it's a pretty large campus) there are

- Maserati Quattroporte (CFO's)

-E46 M3 convertible (my director's)

- Tesla Model S (not sure this counts as jalop? I'd say yes)

- Tesla Roadster

- Porsche 911 Turbo Convertible (996)

- Lotus Elise every now and then

- Subaru WRX

- my Subaru LGT Wagon (of course!)

- early 90s Toyota Tercel I saw this morning (has a few racing school stickers on it and a stick shift, so I think this is the most jalop of the lot).

I think you have to count the Legacy and the Golf as wins. Could have 4 Camrys and 3 Carollas all in a row like mine.

01/15/2014 at 14:47

I think Telsa's count for sure. That Tercel could probably tell some stories.

So some pretty interesting stuff.

Other than that there is a prius, some brotrucks, a buick lacrosse, hyundai Genesis, Ford Edge.

• GT-R daily driver
• BMW 7 hybrid (CEO)

• WRX Wagon

• 4WD Jeep Cherokee with hand axe on roof basket

• Lotus Elan

• Of course, yours truly's p-car

There is only ever one vehicle in the lot (my driveway), and it is either a fun sport truck, or a tragic bro-tastic penis compensation device, depending on who you ask. Jaloppo? Maybe.

E90 M3 (mine!)

E92 M3

E46 M3 (2x, one being a cabrio)

E60 M5

997.1 Carrera cabrio

Panamera Turbo

Tesla Model S (2x - silver, black)

Last (and loudest), what I believe is an 06 GTO with straight pipes...this one I could do without.

Two 2000s tauruses, an automatic ranger, a lumina LTZ, a mid 2000s dakota, a suzuki samurai, a chevy 1500 silverado from the 90s, and a ford explorer. I'm the only jalop car there.

And when my boss shows up it's even worse - a 2009 honda accord I-4 with the automatic. The regular car review is aimed DIRECTLY at my boss. He is all about his business accounts and blames any weird seat settings or odd objects as "my wife had to drive it". And he did try and defend the choice of the inline-4 with "Well you should know that this is the motor all the hip happening young people buy"......I about peed my pants in the RCR with how accurate it is.

ZHP Sparky, the 5th > ddavidn
01/15/2014 at 15:06

Over an Elise? You know which way the door is!

jk, jk :) With the Model S becoming so popular I think it's being seen by the unjalop masses as the first Tesla car, and the Roadster is being forgotten very very quickly (again, by the general public, of course)...it's probably going to be a very good collectors item (especially if Tesla keeps up it's assault on the car market).

The Dummy Gummy > Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif
01/15/2014 at 15:07

I'll try my best. We have 18+ parking lots (2 levels of garage parking) if I can even describe it that way and they tend to park in the visitors which is far. There is a nice A5 sitting across from my car if you are interested haha.

They're still hard to miss. They're only distinguishable from the Elise by its lack of noise.

01/15/2014 at 15:10

We can say I want them both immensely, but the fact that (almost) nobody has ever heard of the roadster before and I think it's full of "character" makes me want it that much more. I'd love a Model S too, but I've wanted the roadster since long before everyone knew what Tesla was. I have only ever seen it in person once, driving through a parking lot...

GTCL > Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif
01/15/2014 at 15:11

We have tons of Camry, civics, SUVs, trucks, etc. there are a few good ones though. About 6 mustang GTs, one of which is a GT/CS, another is a 2005 convertible from the first production run of 50, a new A class Mercedes, my bosses boss has an Audi A7, there's an auto X prepped mini, an older Maserati coupe (early 2000s), occasionally a z06, early 70s chevelle, jaguar xk, range rover, challenger RT, a couple of MK6 GTIs, and a Porsche boxster. That's about it for the good ones.

jariten1781 > Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif
01/15/2014 at 15:13

Most popular car is definitely the prius. Next would be accord/camry/altima/jetta. Surprisingly few SUV/trucks (could be the low overhang in the structure). Lots of 3 series/A4s/C classes.

A few interesting things though. It's better in the summer...but the stuff that's caught my eye in the last few days:

70s 911

740 Turbo Wagon

240 Wagon

Heavily modded STI

Modded A3 TDI

Lots of other decent VAG stuff (4 or 5 GTIs, TT-RS, S5)

E39 M5

Jag XJ

Fiesta ST

Saab 9000

3 Mazdaspeed 3s

There's a guy with a Cayman and an Elise but in the winter he drives a 90s Sentra SE-R

Probably some more, but I've been getting to work early enough to park on the bottom couple levels so I don't see as much as when I come in late.

Well, in order of decreasing Jalopponess...

1) 2013 Dart Aero(because fuck you, it's my car)
2) 2008 Challenger SRT8 (service manager)
3) 2011 Durango R/T (finance guy)
4) 2014 Ram 1500 Black Express (my friend the lube tech)
5) 2013 Nissan Maxima (salesman)

Everyone else drives average shit. We have an Alero, 2 Neons, 3 Dakotas, an Avenger, a CRV, a Stratus, Charger 3.5L, a Saturn SL, and a Caravan R/T.

Nonster > Lumpy44, Proprietor Of Fine Gif
01/15/2014 at 15:16

its kinda hit or miss where I work, most are pretty plain (large plant with executives, engineers, and union workers). Of the several hundred cars here the most noteworthy are

Typical executive fare:

Maserati Granturismo

Porsche Cayman, 911, several Boxters, Panamera

and Dozens of Audis, Mercs, and BMW's

But this is the good stuff

Nissan GT-R and Nismo 370z

a mint Buick GNX

two Subaru BRZ's

a Unimog

my 85 Toyota MR2

FD RX-7 with an LS1 and riding big fat Hoosiers

Also this old engineer in the cube next to mine has a mint 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 that he bought new in 67. 100% original and unrestored. I keep asking if I can borrow it but he says no :(

Of the 6 cars, there's my B7 A4 2.0T, a B6 A4 1.8T, Cruze, Grand Cherokee, Merc GL450, and sadly a Nissan Versa.

The Versa negates the Jalopiness of my Audi's turbo, quattro and manual transmission.

There are a couple of old Jeep fanatics. The rest are made up of minivans, Camrys, Accords, Pilots, CRVs A few Prii and whatever I bring to spice it up. (there is one new Grand Cherokee that's pretty badass, but not the SRT-8, just a Hemi). Also an old Mazda Protege and a beat to crap Civic to make it interesting.

I park a block away underneath an apartment building (not senior enough for a coveted and scarce spot underneath our office tower).

I'm on -5 and need to take 24 turns to get to my parking spot. Kind of fun in my 325is E30, but still frustratingly time consuming. Anyways, here's what I spend about 4 minutes every morning trying to not crash into:

- BMW 850ci

-Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

- Nissan Silva Drift Car

- RS4 & RS4 Avant all black on black

- E39 M5 black with black kidneys

- Perpetually Dirty Bentley Flying Spur

- Porsche 997 Cab

01/15/2014 at 15:30

My lot? Not jalop at all. I have one of the most Jalop cars out there, and that's saying something.

There's a few standouts: someone has an Alfa Spyder that they drive occasionally, there's a Boxster, a couple Miata's show up when it's nice out, there's an Evo, GTi, ans MS3 I believe, and an E39 M5 (I think it's an E39). Oh, and I saw a Europa one day, but haven't seen it since. Still really want to know who owns it.

In other lots you'll see Vette's and Challengers and a couple Porsches. In general, the majority are just trucks, SUVs, and economy sedans.

Whoops, I forgot the 2007ish RS4 sedan that's outside my window. He usually parks by me in the back of the lot.

I work in the Philly suburbs in a decent sized office building that is by no means remarkable. There are lots of others like it around here. This area in general is known for being pretty wealthy. We have a mix of companies in my building - law firms, financial institutions, corporations and some government offices. The FF belongs to a corporate guy who also owns a GT3 RS (blue with red decals).

LR Defender

CTS-V (heavily modified)

CL55 AMG (lightly modified)

An assortment of 911's, boxters and caymans, oh and the targa

Mini Cooper (Dinan stage 3 tuned)

a couple of tuned S4's (one new and one old)

a 72 Tempest (setup for autoX and barely street legal. You can always smell when he's driven into the garage)

3 Mustang 5.0's (two new one old/90's era)

3 Miata/MX5's

Buick Grand National

A few Audi wagons

A Scion XB converted over to full electric (same guy also owns a 996 turbo and Merc Wagon)

I've never actually seen the driver, I only see (hear) the car coming and going. Some engines sound great with straight pipes (the S65 in my M, for example) but that one, I'm afraid, does not. I bet there are great aftermarket exhausts available for that car...

BKRM3 > Where have all the lightweights gone?
01/15/2014 at 16:47

I totally agree, the blue/red is my favorite. I also like the dark gray/red. I never cared much for the green, white, silver or orange. GIS turned up one that's gulf livery colors and that looks pretty bad aceeee but I dont think it was factory. The green reminds me of a RUF I have in Forza, which is nicknamed "the ninja turtle." Couldn't get past that if I owned one in real life =)

I work for a school district, so most people are jalop on accident, not by design.

I've seen a few stanced cars, mostly econocrap, but one of them is a BMW. Just saw it in passing yesterday, didn't pay much attention.

When I was in high school, a lot of people were big into the low-rider Chevy S10 or Ford Ranger thing. I have to hand it to the kids these days, at least they're doing something other than lowriding their cars.

To be fair, it is often stated in reviews that the lighter weight of the four-cylinder (paired with manual though) makes the car more balanced, though it is also stated that the six-cylinder is quite fast (for a car of its type/size).

Do you think a business man who goes on business trips for the company to get away from his wife would know the difference? Because that's the type of person who buys a four cylinder, automatic accord and thinks it is the greatest thing on four wheels. I drove his car once. The gear "selector" took many seconds to respond, even in automatic mode. The engine was anemic at best. Tires were a joke so I didn't bother trying to drive down back roads. The car is "easy to use" and that's about all I can say for it in a positive light. I *might* drive a V6 manual coupe accord myself, but that is a very big stretch and would depend on a massive discount.

That's pretty much why my usual recommendation/suggestion for a new midsized car is a Mazda6.
