Do expand...

+1, all cars that I've had fortune with are over 10 years old.

Just the other day there was a discussion about the maturity of the market, and is there even hint of a chance of someone rolling out a new car company?

Having worked on my the Portland State FSAE car, my Civic, and my '68 Chevy van the difference between them is the added complexity of an EFI+ECU.

Define "a bit more". Are we talking a slightly sat out seat with a hint of wear on the knobs, or actual at the level of "Ya know, I should have this re-upholstered..." with clearly worn knobs?

Like ranwhenparked mentioned, the only companies that have the potential to make money are very small special interest companies.

Tough call... The condition is great, the desirability is 'very high' in the niche circles.

Are You Sure...?

Depends for me too. Sometimes I check it, other times I don't.

Yet at the end of your day when you start driving/dating, your parent would absolutely support you in the decision, and that it's the right choice.

Hm, all I see is sedans and coupes...

I don't visit jalopnik nearly enough anymore...

If you know the actual story, it wouldn't matter... It is literally the story of nightmares.

DESU! Good to see you...

Friend did a bit of research, looked at all the small cars, and found that at the time a fully loaded Fiesta was cheaper than a Fit by some $5000.

The absolute top? Fluids, tire pressure, thinking if I had any kind of gremlins that I may need to deal with before heading out, etc.

OHHhhhhh, OK, I thought he had a 5 hour commute 1-way.

Sweet!
That's actually one of the things mom has talked about working at the DOT. Intersections and such have very particular timings, eg, most of the ways you cut it - even if you lane hop and go super ninja - you will likely go no faster than anyone else on the road. Thus is due to extensive traffic patterning and…

Ah focus groups. More than likely that that's how they conduct business.
