He’s got a point though. Why bother with sporting pretensions when 99.99% of people with expensive cars are rich and oblivious and would rather sip a latte instead of driving spiritedly?

You’ve never had convenience sex with an ugly person before, have you

You bring up good points. I, for example, will always love the MKIV Jetta even though to many it is considered a problem-ridden shitbox. Which is why I aim to keep mine forever, if I can afford to.

Ok first of all you seem to not know what inflation is; I suggest you look it up.

Oh god no, I don’t do American cars. Until five years ago, they’d all been plastic trash for fifty years. However, I’d still rather have this than a Corolla; at least it has some character. And I firmly believe that a car this old, in this condition, is a curious and unlikely sight, and therefore worth this kind of…

In every measurable way, a CD is better than a vinyl record. This is a very apt comparison. It’s not about statistics. The worthiness of anything is based on its emotional appeal. People don’t pay $500k for a Rolls Royce Phantom because it’s 1000% faster than a Hyundai Genesis.

Honestly, I was born in 1991. I think a mint-condition Grenada is cool as hell. I’ve never seen one before. The same thing will happen to that Taurus when some millennium baby turns 25 and wants a weird retro car.

I know, and honestly I’m not offended by racism against white people. I’m offended by the utter hypocrisy. A woman of color wrote a racist headline for a front-page entry on a popular blog - a blog that loves to criticize inequities of most kinds.

The best part is that a woman of color created this article. As if she basically took all the prejudice weighed against herself, contemplated it, and said “nah fuck it” and wrote something she knew would get clicks. That’s basically something Cartman from South Park would do.

I’m honestly just advocating for a racism-free headline. I’m sorry that’s unacceptable for you.

That's actually not that heavy. Regardless, you're saying you'd rather drive a Corolla than this? You might be on the wrong site.

Since when has “shittiness” ever determined desirability? People pay tons of money for Deloreans, old muscle cars, any dumpster with a Ferrari badge.... it’s never about quality, it’s about emotional appeals. Check your local autotrader, I’m guessing this car is more appealing than 99% of cars in its price bracket.…

We need to have terms for “blackest pictures,” too. I want to see headlines like “IS THIS THE MOST GHETTO PICTURE EVER?” Maybe “CHING-CHONG LOL” for the Asians.

Why is this not worth $7500? It’s in near-perfect condition, it’s rare, it’s an interesting color, and it’s a “classic car.” I see 4 year-old Corollas going for more money than that. Also, $2500 cars are almost universally shit.

Nice job! You didn’t use the word “moldering” today. Gold star.

Boring.

Obviously I’m going through it right now, but really - is choosing not to be force-fed garbage ads (in the one scenario where refusing is possible) really “being above the system?” How many ads do we have to deal with? They’re on cable, on TV, on your dealer-equipped license plate frame, in apps, on the radio -…

Here’s a dose of realism: I don’t give a fuck what using Adblock does to people, I don’t care if Youtube “celebs” get paid less because of me, I DO NOT CARE, because nobody should be paid millions of dollars to scream and make faces into a webcam, and I have been advertised to constantly for literally my entire life.

I’…

I plan on doing something like this for the winter, but with an ‘03 Jetta instead.

Absolutely incorrect. Are you in first-year Industrial Design? You sure sound like it.
