Wholeheartedly agree. I don’t care what it is. Even if it’s a beat-up old Yugo, I will go out of my way to not touch or damage it. It’s not my property. When I am at car shows, I take care not to even lean so that I’m hovering over the car. I treat them like the paintings in a museum. 

An FD RX-7 with a hopped-up Busso V6 swapped in holds alarming appeal to me. 

Why use one of these when there’s a perfectly good river to pee in right next to it? 

That should be an easy decision: Drive the one that currently runs/isn’t in the shop. 

Wow, I never imagined lemons came in so many colors. 

Can we call it a tie?

The thing is, if a small, ostensibly “sporty” roadster like this isn’t good with a manual, it really isn’t any good at all. 

Crack Pipe.

Hmm, I drew a logo many years ago for a space-related school project that might fit. It was for a group I had named People Exploring New Interstellar Space...

I’d be more likely to believe it was a joke if they had stopped things before making an offer on the car. 

“They had a real hard time getting the doors to fit...”

They need to offer one with the name spelled “Shivolay.” I’d totally buy that one. 

Have you ever laughed at a guy getting hit in the nuts? Or have you ever gotten a chuckle out of ripping a nasty fart in a car full of your friends?

I’m laughing at the people getting splashed and the fact that the asshole who did it got fired.

You talk about other people being dumb with money, and then you say you “can afford” a six-figure car while making less than six figures? I mean, at least a house is an appreciating asset, and student loan debt is to cover an education that has a fairly decent chance of paying off. But today’s six-figure car is…

Probably like a mix of every Happy Tree air freshener scent available.

Meh, the Maxima won’t rip its rear subframe out of the chassis. And it won’t have that gross German-car smell inside. 

Lol, my Miata’s AC is currently non-functional as well. I’m actually looking at used GMT800 Suburbans, partly for their legendary air conditioning. 

“That said, if your hobbies include ... barely spending any money on gasoline or car maintenance while still being able to go wherever roads are paved, the Ioniq starts looking pretty decent.”

Yup. I’m actually looking into buying a (second) car with an automatic, specifically because it is NOT fun (and therefore won’t encourage me to drive fast). I’m not saying PRNDLs are useless. But I definitely don’t want one in any car I own for the pleasure of driving.
