The allure is it is a lot of car for the money that will run damn near forever if you take care of it.

Tyranny!!!

I love the look though. Miata Camino :)

That’s kind of a dick move. I did it once, but only because it was some asshole outside of a laundromat who tossed his trash on the ground on his way out. I thought a better place would be the bed of his truck.

you haven’t been paying attention, there is no satire here.

Whatever you can do with that, I can do with this:

When I was a kid, the joke went, “What’s the difference between a good ol’ boy and a redneck? A good ol’ boy throws his empty beer cans in the bed of his truck. A redneck throws them out on the side of the road.”

My sense was that she meant it as satire.....and it was funny.

Yes! I drove my brother’s Dodge 3500 to the grocery store while visiting in Austin last week and it’s miserable for the driver too.

When I was younger, I used to throw any trash in my possession in to the beds of random pickup trucks. My attitude was that if the trucks weren’t being used for actual work, they might as well serve a public duty as a dumpster. 

Concur 1 billion trillion percent. This is the law in Switzerland, and probably the rest of Europe. Trucks sized like our pickups are only used by businesses and individuals that require them, and drivers must have a commercial license. It’s one of the main reasons their roads and traffic are so much more civilized.

Somewhere in Rhode Island, there is an equally baffling Protégé limo.

I’ve been thinking of that a lot lately. I want a festiva with a modern SHO engine and I’ll call it “SHO-Time”. I want a ridiculously drag car and I have a friend with a welder.

The ad was changed to reflect the fact I sold some, And if you bundle them you get a better deal. also one of them has 624,000 miles

So you could pretty much start your own spec racing series for Ford Festiva’s for just under $1000.

Better?

I know they were trying to be modern & green (also not piss off grandma by being hoons), but if you are going to redo an all time classic, I would have gone this way.

America is full of morons

You’ve never lived until your father drives your little league team to the game in the back of the truck.

A kid in high school, who was roughly 6’6” and 350 pounds, used to drive a CRX. He sat almost literally in the back seat. One night, he was driving home, fell asleep, hit an embankment head on, flipped the car end-over-end, woke up a few hours later with the engine in the passenger seat, then walked five miles home.
