i see that line at most airports, but there isn’t a sign or anything explaining it. the people that notice the line aren’t the people that need to notice the line.

as someone that also bought a ticket but brought a backpack onboard instead of a rollerbag, fuck you i’m entitled to as much bin space as you are and i’m going to put my backpack up there so i have more room for my feet. but i agree that anyone that puts both a carryon and a backpack up there should be stomped to…

unless you can fit a set of wheels and tires in the area where the seat was. that would be pretty cool.

No, I act like I don’t know what a List Slides button is or where it would be.

i don’t understand why there is a picture of someone’s irrelevant BMW dash but not a “before” pic of the Smart Car’s dash.

there are only a few things more DeLorean than not talking about the horsepower. those few things are gullwing doors and cocaine and being surprised that cops care about anything you do.

For me it was moving to L.A. in ‘05. So long, Civic SI. Hello, Element EX.

URBAN CAMPING AIRBNB LET’S GO INTO BUSINESS

living with a big ass truck in the DFW metroplex is fine. the only places that you can’t park and drive your F3Billion are in the semi-failed ‘00s condo projects downtown. this question is really about what would be hard to live with in NYC or Boston or whatever. Some cramped east coast city that pre-dates cars and…

i own an Impreza in L.A. and it scrapes on everything. since my dumb ass was too cheap to just get the crosstrek, i’m looking at lift kits now.

My first car was a Triumph Spitfire. I grew up in a suburb and mostly parked it in my parents’ garage in high school. When I took it with me to college in Austin, someone sliced the rear plastic window edge to edge before I finished my first semester. If I left the top down I’d find other people’s trash in it. Usually…

You’re doing The Lord’s Work.

yeah. and i really only like painted brake calipers when they match some other external trim.

call me an introvert but i think it looks pretty good. i wouldn’t buy one but i wouldn’t mind seeing some around.

i don’t think it helped that as it got closer to production it looked less like the old vans they are supposed to evoke. the one pictured in this blog is the ugliest version, with fewer windows etc. but still you’re right VW took too long to get this out.

yeah it’s in socal where there is still a lot of demand for 40-50 year old japanese cars. i don’t think it would take more than 3 days to sell in L.A. County for at least $12k.

it looks too pristine to even be in a period piece, i think it would pull focus. maybe if HBO did yet another fucking time traveler show and someone quantum leapt into a 1978 episode of The Price Is Right? plot twist: someone guesses $39,000.

i’m really glad this car exists and that i got to look at pictures of it.

since this is so obviously a ND, subquestion for jalops:
what would you say is the highest price that would still be nice? like, if you were the seller what do you really think you could get for it if you had to be rid of it 30 days from now?

they’re trying to get BaT money without paying BaT rake.

it’s a good move for them, especially considering hyundai/kia’s achilles’s heel is the powertrain. i mean why build a decent engine if you can do batteries instead?
