Black water tanks and lack of any sort of battery already cut the worth of this down to $10,000. But the main killer is that they filled all of the interior and didn’t put any space for storage. Like, sure, you have the cabinets for the kitchen utensils and dishes. But you only get one side of those big long trays…

*scoffs*

Not bad. But $33K buys a pretty nice used purpose-built RV with a shower.

Can we all thank safety equipment and NOT "god" for their survival and health, please?

3. Any other requests? Perhaps some gray poupon for the good sir?

Worlds Fastest Suzuki Kizashi, I knew I still had them!

There were a whole series of these Dodge K-body cars powered by the 2.2 turbos, like the Spirit R/T:

Contour SVT

Dare I say it… the Aztek. It was fucking ugly. Sure it was. But compared to the ugly plastic me-so-angry faced crossovers we see on the road these days (ahem, Lexus RX,) it was a beauty queen.

Lets go with a class the cars that would be called crossovers now but were way before their time:

The Peugeot 306 Rallye :

I was always partial to its Sebring predecessor

Shelby CSX

Two wipers at the same time, man.

2015-2017 Chrysler 200

I don’t know who was looking at Aaliyah and not seeing an unmistakably black woman (mostly teen since she died when she was 22). Clearly, someone who hasn’t spent any time around black people. She’s not racially ambiguous and can’t pass for white. We’re not talking about Mariah or Halsey.

Sounds like you just don’t like low revving torquy engines and the people who own WRXs.

The reason they retain value is because, especially as time and the industry move on, there is nothing else like them for sale. True AWD (not slip and grip clutch packs that are totally front wheel drive biased), manual 5 or 6 speed, easily tuneable, huge aftermarket support.

See... that’s your problem. You experienced the competition and so now you’re stuck. I owned two Mitsubishis so I get it. But your frame of reference is just too high.

The only WRXs I’ve had the chance to drive were a 2004 STI and a 2016 STI. They were definitely different machines. The ‘04 was like a mountain lion tearing your face off, and the 2016 was like a tabby clawing at your ankle from under the table.
