It’s not just about utility, apart from CUVs there are less and less cars with decent ground clearance and tires that won’t explode expensively at the first hint of a pothole.

Yup, my mom was looking at the XV and ended up with a Forester (XT also, so it’s pretty fast)

That would actually make tons of sense, preferably with a manual but even with the CVT from the Forester XT would make for a fun drive.

I have the same question, maybe seatbelt pretensioners for the rear seats?

It looks horrible, like someone took an 8 from a completely different car and jammed it sideways between the 1 and the 7, not even caring to align it properly.

The Beverly Hills and mall jokes don’t really apply to these, 90% are going to end up being hooned in the desert a couple of times before being forgotten in their owner’s car collections.

The badge, because the two 0s were made to try and look like an infinity symbol they ended up looking as if they were poorly aligned or different fonts. This is true for many of Peugeot’s “00” models.

95 Ford Contour I had in college, bought it for $3000 from a shady dealer so I should have seen it coming but it was awful. First the AC went, had a cheap shop fix it and it worked OK for a while and then the cancer started.

“because it actually exists I’d say no” that made me laugh, we haven’t had any Super Replicas updates in a while now.

That would explain why they’re always driving VERY SLOWLY while making a lot of noise.

Is that from Super Replicas?

Apparently these were very popular in the late 60's. My dad’s Jaguar came with some big red air horns installed when he bought it but unfortunately they don’t work so we haven’t been able to figure out how they sound or what music they played.

I live in Guatemala, weirdest things I’ve seen “in the wild” here:

I’ll have to do an Excel sheet, and report in a couple of months. I refuse to own a car where it doesn’t match up.

It’d be interesting to know if there’s cars that share a dashboard but have the fillers on different sides. Only car I’ve been in that didn’t have the filler on the hose side was a ‘96 Fiat Fiorino, everything else so far it’s worked, apart from older cars that just have “FUEL” written on the gauge.

Lucky are by far the most comfortable jeans, but perhaps because of this they don’t tend to last very long. Still love them though.

So, what does it have? I’ve been googling Mini fuel gauges and the ones I’ve seen do have either an arrow or a little fuel pump (and it’s on the right, BTW).

Yup, in cars without arrows the side of the hose indicates which side the cap is; but I’ve been in one where there wasn’t an arrow and the filler was on the opposite side though.

Only it won’t take you home, you’ll probably end up at an ex’s or at a nearby strip club.

I’ve done it and it was great. Some friends and I were doing a road trip when the car’s engine exploded; started drinking while waiting for the flatbed and then kept drinking in the car, on the flatbed on the way back home. Flashed the lights to get the tow truck driver to stop to pee/buy more beers and we were all…
