I believe it’s the theoretical “Boner Drive” I learned about in middle school.

ooh!  I’ll go first.  I’m between the ages of 40 and 60

I like it...Tercel is an old name, Ter-Cell 4x would make it...ahem...current.

Rodents eating wiring is a big problem where I live, but not as big a problem as jacking up the car to tape everything underneath with overpriced nacho tape. Partly because I’d have to move the mousetraps to get under it.

Lincoln MKT...you know, the hearse. No, the uglier hearse. Why? Twin turbo V6, that’s why.

I agree 100%. It’s a Mustang because that’s what the people who build Mustangs call it, and its the only Mustang for sale I would find useful.  And (warning: joke recycling ahead!) what else would you call this, a tall vanilla mach-e auto?

“Buy” at some point begins to sound like “Fix”

Each of the four times I sold one of my VWs I swore never again.

That sounds memorable.  The closest I ever came to that was a ridealong in a Porsche GT3, which was epic except for the part where we weren’t catching the guy in the Mitsubishi Evo.

I’ve always considered myself a car guy, but even with an unlimited budget I’d have no desire to go this direction. If I wanted an expensive British car to give me moments of fun to go along with mountains of agony I’d buy a Morgan. Sure I’d still have headaches getting parts, but with the Morgan, carbon fiber grows…

The guns fire nets? I was expecting them to fire stones.

Its hard not to feel just a little bit bad for the dad, despite him having exactly the family he deserves

I wonder how she’d like a mustang convertible from the ‘60's. Pretty sure she could get a decent one in her budget, seats four, easy to work on...the only thing missing is the “European” aspect, but a closer match than most of the suggestions.

or vice versa

Good to know, thanks!  

Faced with pretty much the same situation I went with a used Volt, thinking the engine made it an EV with a superpower.  Now my stress isn’t range anxiety, its how to burn the gas in the tank before it goes bad.

Maybe riding in a van in rural Mexico, passengers sitting on coolers and milk crates, with the sliding door wide open as the six year old driver negotiated pot holes.

No, I’m absolutely NOT sure, which is why I’m going to the local place first.  If I do go with TireRack I’m calling rather than using the site.

New Mexico says “hi”

Tire Rack will mount and balance winter tires on a set of steelies for about 1200 bucks and deliver them to my door.  Imma check with the local guys and see if they can get close to that, otherwise Tire Rack is the way to go.
