same, I thought it was attached to the land and just happened to float but clearly that’s not the case. just because it’s not designed to go very fast or go out to sea doesn’t disqualify it as a boat just like a barge is still a boat.

Since all the tectonic plates float on magma, we all live on boats too and are not subject property tax.

Definitely don’t wanna use womens’ sizes – those seem rarely consistent and vague.

Unlikely, unless you want L3 charging capability at home. L2 charging (208-240 volts, 40 amps) is probably more than enough for charging at home; which would be overnight charging most of the time. Level 2 will give you about 32 miles of range per hour of charge.

If that color wasn’t a branding tie-in with the farm where it once lived, what are we even doing?

TOO much, even in this alternate reality of used-car pricing. Did this even cost that much when brand new? Don’t think so. Not paying that much for a very basic, stripper work-truck with few/no options, non-working A/C, lots of rust and worn-out interior. Maybe at $5000, but it would be a reach even at that. ND

“We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.”

Thus further exemplifies the massive wealth inequality in our country/continent, and well beyond. 

Sorry, but you’re 16; it’s inadvisable to have speed. I say purify yourself in Lake Minnetonka in an AWD Camry, or a Forester XT like VicVinegar (below) suggests.

about a mile each way

Am I the only one side-eyeing the suggestion that a 16 year old boy gets a car with 300 horsepower?

You’re sixteen and you have $20 grand to spend on a car??? Ok kid, this is the voice of reason and experience - and 35 years your senior. Take $10 grand and bury it in a GIC, mutual fund, or some other long-term and low risk investment. Seriously. Invest it and forget it. If you don’t play with it and let it compound…

you live a mile from school. walk when it is nice, have a friend pick you up when it isn’t. or buy a true beater for those days. a nice old honda accord with snow tires should do the trick. pocket the rest and go to europe the summer after you graduate (which if you’re getting 20 large from the folks to spend here…

Do NOT get the VW. Any VW. Because they are finicky, fragile cars that have one of the worst reliability track records. If you are 16? Seriously, just get a used civic, corolla, or some other appliance vehicle and use it through college and THEN consider getting the “fun” car when you graduate. The supply chain issue…

Just get a Civic hatchback, put snow tires on it if you need to, and call it a day. Reliable, good gas mileage, hatch gives you some room to lug crap to college in a few years.

Holy crap a 16 year has a 20K for a car. When I was 16, I had a decent job and my budget was 2K, what’s the inflation adjustment for that?

Wait, I just looked it up, it’s about 5K

Get the Subaru, I would just get an 11-14 WRX hatch as they offer nearly the same speed and a better ride

Buy something inexpensive! You’re most likely to get in an accident before your break it. Don’t waste $20K on your first car at 16y.

This is the type of response for which I come here.

I don’t think we’ll ever really solve overnight charging for people who don’t live in SFH’s since a lot of them don’t even have off street parking.

That’s why I’m an advocate for adding a lot more workplace charging. People generally own these cars to drive and park somewhere else for 8-10 hours. And during the day…

The insurance company doesn’t work for you, it works for shareholders. You’re screwed.
