S2 E1 • 2005 Subaru Outback

In 2005, cars begin to mimic the disgruntled national emotion toward an unending war and an uncertain economy. 2005 saw "angry headlights" getting a percent foothold in car design. RAAAAGH! I'm angry and I'm taking to the roads and telling the world about it! I CAN ONLY EXPRESS MYSELF WITH MY CAR!

S2 E2 • 2010 Nissan 370Z

You humans, you have constructed a very swift terrestrial vehicle. Yet, why do you continue to resist travel by light? The Nissan 370Z is the spiritual successor to the Dautsun 240Z. It is a fast cheap sports car. In a straight line, it is much faster than a Base Porsche Cayman. It is also the first car with electronic rev-matching on a manual gearbox stick. This is not a gross RCR video. You have been very patient. Good. Very good. Next week...YOU WILL BE REWARDED!

S2 E3 • 1993 Volvo 240

Built for nuclear families, adopted by hipsters, and raced by enthusiasts, The Volvo 240 is the Unreal Tournament of the automotive world: forever being rebuilt and re-purposed. MEAT! You've earned THE MEAT! I wrote the George McGovern joke with Dan Neil in mind. There was this one moment on "The Car Show" where he made this T.S. Elliot reference and the automotive world needs more literary references. All content in this video is original. The opening song is performed by us, the creators of Regular Car Reviews.

S2 E4 • 1991 Nissan Stanza

The Nissan Stanza is the shoe-gazer of cars. Complainant enough, but driven to exhaustion by trying placate the lower-middle class. If the Stanza were a sport, it would be slow-pitch softball. If it were TV Channel, it would be Community Bulletin Board. If it were a food, it would be a communion wafer. If the Nissan Stanza was a conversation topic, it would be Weather. All creative content rights, both audio and visual, of this video is owned by Regular Car Reviews.

S2 E5 • 2012 Mini Countryman Cooper S

So British. The Mini Countryman Cooper S is for people who want a Mini, but don't. The Chrysler PT Cruiser called, they want their idea back. ENGLAND! NOSTALGIA... Mini of North America would have fitted fiberglass bowler hats to the roof of the Countryman if they thought they could get away with it. Whoops. I got the year wrong. It's a 2012 Thank you to: RemyRemington for letting us film your car. www.youtube.com/user/RemyRemington

S2 E6 • 2013 Ford Mustang V6

A rolling semiotics lesson: the Mustang is entrenched in American culture to such an extent that criticism of the car equates to criticism of the country of its birth. We need to come to terms with the way language shapes our thoughts before we can go back to the HUDDLE HOUSE and get serviced by CLAUS. Nnngggghhhh .....LIPS

S2 E7 • 1990 Chevrolet Suburban

This is a car from the age of Grunge Music, live axles and red plush interior. The Suburban is not an SUV, not really. It is a work truck that happens to be enclosed. Like the Lincoln Town Car, it will outlast modern cars.

S2 E8 • 2005 Lotus Elise

If the Lotus Elise was a person, it would be that jerk who eats nothing but fried rice and city chicken, yet never gains a pound. The Elise is also the gate keeper between daily-use cars that are kinda fast (Honda S2000) and dedicated sports cars (Elise). Once you drive one of these...oh man...like Like Skywalker swinging at that remote with the blast-shield down...Regular Car Reviews has taken a first step into a larger world.

S2 E9 • 1992 Chevrolet Caprice

Chevrolet Caprice: A discarded memento left behind during the enthusiastic dot-com white-flight of the late '90s. Gaze upon it! See it one last time before "donkification" takes hold. The Caprice is a hold-out for mall-walkers. They shuffle, arm-in-arm, staunchly defiant against a mutant world which, in their eyes, is changing for the worse.

S2 E10 • 1986 Toyota MR2 AW11

MR2 AW11: A car that still is championing a 1980's doe-eyed optimistic view of The Future. Yes! Computers! Computers are the future and everything will be new! Look at this car. It has a computer! Beep Bop Borp! Roadblasters!

S2 E11 • 1995 BMW E36 M3

Why has a conservative German GT car become the darling of "Stance Culture?" The E36 was meant to refine the tail-happy E30. Big thanks to designer Ted Stoltz from www.tedstoltz.com for helping out with photography and videography. But new safety standards and uncooperative US import laws turned the North American M3 into a big lump. Here's what an E36 is used for today (2014): Roll up to a bar after the kitchen is closed, get out of your E36, pick up the car and stuff in in the front of your pants and visually lie to all the 19 year old girls with fake ID's. STANCE NAAAAAATIONNNNN! Bimmer Bro! Bro Bimmer! I scrape my splitter on Second Street. It makes a the ladies want my un-cut meat!

Save us FRS! Rescue me BRZ! I want a fun car like people had in the 1980's! I want to come to terms with my love of women who "have something extra!" The FRS is a sports car's Sports Car. Is this really the savior that every Gamer-tag is trumpeting it to be? Not really, it's a muted sports car that won't hurt you when it catches you trying give yourself a handy at at red light in Brownstown.

S2 E13 • 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo

The Veloster is to Hyundai in 2013 what the CB750 was to Honda in 1969. The Hyundai Veloster is the gem of the company's new Premium Youth Lab sub-brand, filling the gaping wound the Tiburon left on the mortal flesh of Hyundai's corporate carcass in 2008. If I had the money for a turbocharged hatchback, I would buy a used Honda CX650 and a Dodge Omni.

S2 E14 • 2006 Mazda RX-8

So many Mazdas of all shapes and sizes, We did the Miata Which is why this franchise is. The RX-8 was an improved RX-7, which had been discontinued since 2011. It came in all colors It came in all shades, turd brown, magenta And gunmetal gray. Naturally aspirated with side exhaust ports, the engine was the 210 horsepower sort. They said it was sleek. They said it was classy. But it was really just built on an MX-5 chassis. Its style was developed through design competitions, in America and Europe, in the Mazda tradition. And also Japan, let us not forget them. Like America's forgotten about Robin Wright Penn. The car was designed by Ikuo Maeda. A man who loved cars, and maybe paella. The 50:50 front-rear weight distribution makes this the official car of Hitman: Absolution. Your friends all will marvel, while drinking their Coors, when you open the freestyle suicide doors. They provide easy access to seats in the back. Since drunkenly banging takes all of one's tact. A symbol of money culture made manifest: That's how to describe the RX-8 best. For this is what Mazda intended to purvey to make you feel King of all you survey. But this is a shadow? A trick of the mind? A king of the road? Why, you are no such kind! This car attracts bros. This car attracts schmoozers. This car attracts winners, bambizzlers and losers. This car seats much lower than old Honda Fits. But it feels like you're sagging like elderly tits. Headlights don't go up, nor do they go down. They do not make noises. They don't make a sound. As a coupe it's not high, nor is it too low, but we cannot fit rollbars for track day, my bro.

S2 E16 • 1979 Corvette C3

The C3 'Vette is an Atlantic City escort, layering on foundation and mortgaging her future to maintain a lifestyle that has not made sense since 1967. When I see a C3, I think about that lady at the bowling alley bar who grabbed my hoo-haas in 2008. She held her Kool and said: "It's about time we get some YOUNG blood in this place.

BMW 740il: The official car of "making a few phone calls to sort this out." In 1998, BMW's luxury cars were not trying to be "sporty" as so many big German cars do today. If you drive a 740, you are driving a stock portfolio that had buried more workers than the Hoover Dam.

S2 E23 • 2013 Audi S4

There is no way to enjoy an Audi S4 within the bounds of the law. This car is stupid fast. That would be a non-issue if the car looked fast. It doesn't. An S4 looks like a WASP, in a tie, eating at Starbucks on his lunch break. You see this car and immediately forget about it. SO... you have to RRRRRGGHHH all the time to show the world that you exist. The WASP goes home, switches his ladder-dick-piercings from stainless to "Mexican-Fiesta." His Casio point-and-shoot is already on its tripod. All he has to do is long into Tumblr. Special thanks to Ted Stoltz for serving as our 3rd videographer.

S2 E28 • 2008 Chevrolet Corvette C6

Being a fan of the C6 is like being a fan of Superman. All you have to do is mash the go-pedal and punch "Evil-Doers." It's a four-wheeled contradiction because sports cars, by their speedy nature, are "bad" because they are made for breaking the law, but the Corvette is fully in bed with The Establishment. The C6 acts more patriotic than a senator one day after he is caught infusing glucose into his ballsack. Yet, the C6 is a rebel because you can break the speed limit. So, which side is it on? Is it classy or a criminal? Special thanks to Ted Stoltz for serving as our 3rd videographer.

S2 E30 • Part 3 of 3 -- RCR at NY Auto Show

I feel like I might have misrepresented myself a bit in the last article. We loved the New York International Auto Show. It was sensory overload taken to its logical conclusion: a hyperventilating, aggressive enthusiasm about cars you've never gotten to touch before. The sights, the sounds, the lights, the well-ventilated showrooms and spacious media center where I could have sat and gotten some writing done if I wasn't terrified that the entire show would disappear if I stopped for five minutes, as if it were some kind of illusion that required constant immersion to maintain. There was a fearsome, daunting symmetry to the Auto Show. Everything was where it belonged. Well, except for Mr. Regular and myself, as we both felt a penetrating sense of unworthiness.

All dual-sports begin here. Yes, here. Not with the XT500, not with the SR500 and certainly not with the scramblers in the 70's. Modern dual sports began in 1985 with this plastic trail bike by Yamaha. And all body-modifications tell me is this: "My parents are garbage and I'll cheat on you."
