Two small quibbles. 1) How the fuck do you get in and out of this monstrosity?Or even reach the door handle if you’re not Shaq? and 2) You left out the part where I get to vote “crack pipe.”

David, I want to apologise for earlier suggesting that you should buy a Honda Civic. I was motivated by a selfish desire to continue reading about you doing ill advised things in vehicles that have no business on the road. What you should do for your winter rig is find an old Cherokee and sit a PT Cruiser on it. 

Weird flex, but OK... 

Toyota's actually been doing this for quite a while now.

Why would you have to fear destroying the gearbox? Transitioning to the other side of the car takes no time. The shift pattern is the same, the pedal arrangement is the same. The biggest PITA is that you have to pull way out to see before you overtake, and the aforementioned drive through issue

I drove in England, right hand drive and wrong side of the road.  Driving and shifting wasn't that hard to adjust, wrong side of the road was.  I wouldn't worry about wrecking the gearbox, pretty easy to adapt to the driving mechanics.

RE-Amemiya makes good looking kits. CP because this is the ugliest one ever produced. Below is heaven:

So a thought im trying to get through my neighbor. Youre 50, its says less a midlife crisis and more that youve made it in life to have a luxury sedan.

CP. And Public Service Announcement: There’s a Gofundme open to support the Calaveras County (California) Search and Rescue office, which is leading the search for Davey G. Johnson, former Jalopnik scribe and current C&D writer. Chip in some coffee money and keep a good thought.

That's why friends don't let friends purchase E31s. 

We also drove a Figaro and friend, it is utterly delightful in every way.

Big how? I’m 6'4" and I’m loving my beat. My legs JUST fit but it’s not bad!

A L O T of XC40

I see a lot of xc40

Mental defense mechanism.

That’s not exactly true. The 50K is for the theoretical base model that will never get produced.

Jalopnik 2025: “Here’s the comparo between the brand new $50,000 Tesla Pickup and the new Porsche 911. The pickup doesn’t stack up.”

50K in Elon dollars is 80-90K.

Absolutely, it did. I had an Accord listed at $4000, sure it wouldn’t make that but was looking for $3000. A few potential buyers showed up to kick tires. One was pretty keenly honest, said he’d just come out from a few weeks in the jail and was looking to turn things around, told me he would need to make payments.…

Rare.
