There’s nothing that tests grip strength quite like driving a tiny old car at highway speeds. You do not relax on the highway. It is a butt-clenching death-defying act that requires 110% of your attention and driving abilities.

Slightly more attractive than a 1978 King Cobra.

Probably because there’s someone creeping up on her. If you look carefully, there is a pair of sneakers sitting next to the driver’s side rear tire. Haunting stuff.

I’m with Jason. Find the best average you can between cheap and reliable. Spend a little money on having fun while figuring out what you like (for your very important next car) and save while you drive a fun piece of crap. Best thing one can learn in this situation is have patience.

It doesn’t need to be crammed in, fits like a glove every time.

I’m hoping they can break Le Mans up into six or seven parts so I can watch more commercials.

There are quite a few photos of the car accompanied by befuddled people trying to get into it.

I hate it when other people have a good time. Ha ha! Fools!

Driving shoes make a big difference if you have big feet in a small pedal box. I wear Sparco Speed Cats when I have to drive my Saab for a while but they’re abysmal for walking.

Essentially redline markings for that gear. Common for manual cars sold without tachometers. There’s no “IV” because there’s no “V” gear to go to.

Sadly the hardware capable of even passably syncing Bethesda character speech with lip movement has not yet been bequeathed to us by an advance alien civilization.

Hey, you’re always going to need some bulb grease.

I’m going to Iceland instead.

Well, the world is only getting larger and we have infinite resources. Let’s build a wall out of catalytic converters.

Don’t cut means DON’T CUT.

Falling asleep at the wheel I’d imagine.

Obviously 6-foot tall jackstands on the left side of the car. That or you could drain the oil and have a rag handy.

How bold of BMW to subscribe to the theory that there are people and entire countries outside of the United States. Good luck finding this “Mexico”.

Great photo! I’d like to think this is a character from Tampopo and he’s got a cowboy hat on the passenger seat.
