I feel you, man. I have a GLI VR6 with 240,000km on it. I wait every day for something to grenade itself... Previous owner already had the tranny rebuilt and I’ve had to deal with lots of coolant problems.

It’s honestly worth it though.

I honestly read it four times... I was so confused

But how has the engineering suffered? The only thing shitty about the 7th gen civic was that it wasn’t as stylistically fresh, or as feature-laden as its competition. I mean, it’s still a better car than it’s 1990 equivalent... The dash isn’t made of brittle shiny plastic, etc.

I’ll be honest, I have no idea what atvs or boat ramps have to do with what we’re talking about

This Legend, though, is not only literally beige - it also has highly-subdued styling and almost zero “exciting” features. It is arguably less interesting - it has less of everything - yet somehow the result is quite the opposite. Why? Is it just nostalgia?

Because Marc wanted to frame Rossi, and get revenge. Duh.

True, but since when has efficiency ever been sexy? “Better on paper” does not equal “more exciting.”

I mean, would you date a perfect person? Maybe, but I wouldn’t. They’d get boring very fast.

My dad had one of these in the early 90s when I was growing up. I always thought it was the coolest shit. What is it about early Japanese luxury cars? They were even simpler than the current crop, yet somehow they seem so much more impressive.

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.
