I was set on a manual, this was about seven years ago, they were hard to find, generally a used, and much more expensive than automatics in much better shape.  I did call one guy with a manual, when I contacted him he bumped the price $1000 over the advertised ask, I tapped out.  Mine had the sticky dash.  I cleaned…

I remember seeing these out and about on the street probably late 70s early 80s, including a dark blue car that was regularly street parked on a busy street presumably by an owner living in one of the nearby low rent houses converted to apartments. They weren’t exactly cheap in 45 year old dollars, but the were…

I have the twin of the silver IS300 and I love it, best car I have ever owned. Twenty years old and dead solid reliable. In addition to having a nice handling and responsive chassis and rear wheel drive, it has superbly comfortable seats, furnace hat heat that comes up quickly, ice cold air, a nice quiet ride, just a…

The first couple generations did have green, including a very nice BRG Special Edition NA (or Limited Edition, don’t remember the exact name). It had tan leather and some special bling.

Saturn Astra, a lot of cars I forget because kind of anonymous, boring mid-size people movers. The Astra is kind of cool looking, saw one on the street and thought, what the heck is that? Cute little car. I don’t think they sold a lot of them.

See also Porsche 968, also on the list (3 liter 4 cylinder)

Yeah, that was my first thought, “tell me the name of something you don’t remember". And yes, you deserved honorable mention if not first place.

And it is spelled with an "i" Infiniti, wouldn't normally be spell check guy, but sort of twists the knife in on the dead and forgotten trope.

Saturn Relay? Don't know if I forgot, or never knew it existed.

Totally agree, enjoy the wide open spaces and available parking.  I would buy a Leaf to commute and with the 20 some grand leftover  get a fun car for weekends and dates since I am choosing for someone young and single.  How about a Fiat 124 Spyder, or even an older fun car like a classic Mustang or even a 60s…

Miata, FRS/BRZ, Civic SI, Rabbit GTI, Porsche Boxster.  I am surprised everybody is suggesting big V8 cars too.

Agree may be a boring car to drive and look at (full disclosure I submitted it) but brings some interest to the game. As you say Toyota’s and even Toyota hybrids have a reputation for lasting forever. Does this lower mile but older hybrid retain that reputation in readers/buyers minds, or do age and complexity…

A lot to.like hear, limit production 60s GT that can get out of its own way, and running cost besides gas shouldn’t be too bad. Easy nice price.

Although I am usually a no go on expensive to maintain aging German cars, I was ready to nice price this one. I figured tbe reasonable price was acknowledging the expectation of cost of maintenance and repairs. I could live with that, but can’t live with the miles and cosmetic issues at that price, I could go for a…

How does insulating a road work?  When we insulate most things it helps retain heat inside, and slows rapid temperature changes inside buildings.  I would imagine a road, insulated from the ground, which tends to be warmer than the air temp in the winter, would make the roàd most susceptible to rapid temp swings and…

Wasn't there, don't know the details, but have noticed these days a lot of people don't seem to slow down or give more space for weather.  Call it false sense of security from a lot of cars with 4wd and traction control or stupidity.  Anyway, suddenly they learn their vehicles can still slide.  

Usually I kind of get into these lists, but getting 1000 or 2000 or whatever of this or that? After you have more than a handful there is really nothing going on except the need to add storage space.

Quick Google search shows US Military Academy average height, 6'0", average weight 187.  As military skew younger and have to stay in shape they aren't carrying around as much fat as many of us.

Years ago I was on the first flight of the day on a small two across (seat/aisle/seat) puddle jumper flight. I was the only passenger on the plane. I thought I would sit in front and watch them fly. They told me I would have to move to the back to even the load. At the time I thought they just wanted a quiet flight…

I was all ready to go nice price, not screaming deal, but nice price. Usually don’t like black wheels but it works with the whole vibe going on here. But then I read the miles, just too many miles for the price here, knock it down to around ten and I would be on board.
