I was born in 1985. I’ve heard of the Impulse, but have never seen one, either in photos or in person. This car is awesome, looks the perfect ratio of 80s retro, and that interior is amazing.

The faltering of 2011 is an interesting case-study in behavioral economics. They made products cheaper overall, yet people preferred the higher-priced items so they could get the rush of getting a discount. Makes no damn sense, especially because retailers like Walmart and Target rarely have coupons or (Significant) sa…

While the DSG is awesome, I agree with other posters - the reliability and general refinement of the 8HP is just better 

I’m 35. In my entire life, a thumbs up has always been a sarcastic “get bent”. 

I think what “reliable” means is a person to person thing. I have a BMW F10. Oil leaks everywhere. It’s fine. I owned four Subarus before that...and oil leaked everywhere. It’s fine.  I trust that nothing major is ever going to go wrong that will leave me stranded, as I’ve replaced the stuff that goes wrong.  However,…

You’re not wrong 

^ this. I’ve never used a thumbs up in the real world that was a sincere “that’s great!”. That’s how i translate it to texting, too.

Your response seems unnecessarily condescending and aggressive when all I wanted to state was a simplification of the response in order to maybe stimulate conversation. Sorry if I offended. 

To the first guy...just go to a different dealer. 

I’m almost never not looking at my phone, so it’s not an issue.

From “time to time”? My phone almost never leaves my sight. 

Just many of us see a thumbs up as a naturally passive-aggressive reaction. Like “okay, whatever you say dumbass”

I’m confused. This is a legitimate sticking point that perhaps not everybody sees / understands / realizes. Just like using the 👍🏼 emoji. 

What you’re doing wrong here isn’t the way that you text...it’s that your phone makes a noise / vibration for a message. I turned that off long ago and have lived a much more free life because of it. 

Although not “small” or “local” by any means, I have been doing my shopping exclusively at Aldi not just because it’s the closest store to my house, but it’s never crowded and has been almost fully stocked since day one. Not sure if their supply chains are just different since most stuff is in-house brands or what,…

I think this is less about long-haul driving and more for using the same driver for all of your daily runabout tasks. Essentially a Zipcar that comes with a driver. 

Wait. Normal people don’t keep spreadsheets or lists (even just mental) of pluses and minuses about dates and then decide who to go out with based on who has the most pluses or least minuses?

Considering it’s the worst version of the Miata, the owner probably knew what he had. 

It probably can’t pass Bernalillo County’s emission inspection just because it’s old. NM doesn’t have safety inspections and if you live somewhere other than Albuquerque, emissions doesn’t matter. 

This is a hard one. $4k is by far the lowest price I’ve seen for one of these in a few minutes of internet searching. Restored ones have $10-22k asking prices, though who knows what they’re really selling at.
