Yeah because these are exactly the same too.

That’s not hugely different than the new model. Considering safety standard that cars have to adhere to and motorcycles don’t, it still retains it’s original fundamental features.

Something like this I guess.

No offense intended, but who cares what your family thinks? As long as its not a death-trap, runs well, is moderately clean, and you’re happy with it, then why would you buy a new car? They’re not the ones who are going to have a car payment + insurance on a car that may or may not get better gas mileage.

Is the Civic paid off? Do you like driving it? If it has been trouble free as you say...I would say keep it.

Get a GTI...kidding. The Passat is nice, but unless you are going for a TDI and/or you absoultely have to have a German sedan, there is not really a compelling reason to choose the Passat over a mid-size sedan from Japan, Korea, or the US. Of course if the current depreciation on ‘13 Passats is crazy cheap...that is…

This is what I typically do:

There comes a point in time when a car is just not worth fixing anymore.

That is an intersting take. I’m not saying that people should keep cars that are worn out to the point where they no longer serve the owner’s need. Sometimes you have to cut your losses and move on. I’m saying that too many people think buying a new car is a better financial decision than spending $800 on a brake job…

Because people buy 4-door trucks.

That’s my thought - i guess technically, scientifically, engineeringly they may be manuals but to 99.99% of the world a manual has a clutch pedal and individually selectable gears.

Thanks for your service.

Thank you for your service to this country.

What a poor choice of venue for sounding your trumpet.

I don’t know, as far as I’m concerned this totally counts. Spotted in Suwanee, GA.

Flaccid was factory installed on most V8s in the mid-late 70s.

Ah... no.

Yeah Raph do it
