Pretty much the only time I wasn’t pleased with the SVT setup is when I accidentally ate a pothole. I drove it across the country (Edit: two countries) and it took all the miles well. The stock non-SVT setup feels closest to say a mid-2000s Civic, which is to say great for the 90% of the time you’re not trying to…

Stock handling is fine until you’ve experienced the SVT setup. We had an ‘05 ZX4 (non-ST), and it’s decent in comparison to its class but not in comparison to the SVT.

Gender not matching is a flag, though it’s questionable how much that should drive a police stop. It’s extra fun when partner-of-66Mustang gets sick of all the ethnic-person-driving-a-car-registered-to-non-ethnic-owner BS, and then legally adopts the ethnic last name.... Only then to get incessant police attention…

They did make the SVT in a ZX5 bodystyle for 2003 and 2004. I should know: I dailied one for 12 years.

Protip: when you, as an ethnic person, drives a car registered to your partner and their non-ethnic last name, expect a world of hurt from police.

California also has a county named YOLO. Also Inyo / Butte.

Two ways to go about it: 1) Look for an actual SVT ZX5, or 2) Look for an ‘04 2.3L Duratec wagon or ZX5. 1) is the least work, and if I hadn’t given away my own ZVT ZX5 to my cousin, I even have one to sell you. 2) is better, though you’d have to do the disc conversion and suspension work.

How can someone afford 84 payments of $350 but yet cannot save a dime to buy a used car? Get a loan for $2,000 and buy a dodge neon. Auto payment of like $50 a month, save the other $300 a month and put it into a very conservative fund. Earn 5-6% on your invested money. Drive that neon and pay for repairs for a year…

Receipts, I have them.

Yeah, that’s lifted Jeeps with III stickers and Trump signs out front country. Probably where the majority of the votes for Trump came from in the city. Further north it is no less white but that’s gentrifier white (i.e. oblivious progressive brand of racist).

Yeah DC is extra bad with the diagonal streets, Philly is nice to live in in the city because there are random car guys out there just working on their cars in the middle of downtown (since they don’t have silly “car must move every 72 hrs” rules or something like that). There was the guy around the corner always…

That really annoyed me when I first moved to Philly; I was all like “which Boulevard?!”

Is that worse, or is the outer loop/inner loop thing up in Baltimore/Washington worse? You could drive say clockwise on 495 or 695 and the signs change from N to E to S back to W...

White people on food stamps...NEVER GET MENTIONED but if they do they’re deemed as deserving them. Here’s a few excuses white people make for other white people...”You’re on disability, 

At this point isn’t an Elgrand just a Quest with a different front end?

That’s true to an extent, in that if commuting is more expensive paying more for housing becomes more worth it. However, that model only applies if everyone is living in suburbia and working in the downtown core. What is likely happening in a multi-income household is that they already live somewhere to minimize the…

They’re likely ending it as they switch over to the new design, and give it a couple of years before they crank out another RS on the next gen to juice sales.

It is likely owned by the guy who lives in the house with the garage, since it’s parked in the cutout where the city likely doesn’t care unless the homeowner complains.

What is the logic behind white people wearing shoes in the house? I never understood it much. I’ve heard once it’s to cover up stinky feet, but that never made sense to me, either...

Sadly, she probably needed to make the interior non-intimidating for all the people living in the $700,000 townhouses around the corner. You know what I mean.
