I agree. He’s learning to drive in my Taurus, which is an auto, but I’m just concentrating on him keeping it between the lines for now.

I’d buy this for my 16yo if it was close enough. 

I’ve been able to do this so long on Android that I can’t remember when I first could do it. Almost a decade ago? I definitely had a custom launcher, transparent widgets, and icon selection on my LG Ally, if that places the timeframe anywhere. 

Hope you stay well!

Back when I was daydreaming about building the Stalker clone of the Lotus 7, they were starting to get into LS builds for those, and I wish I could remember the particular combination of block, heads, and stuff, but apparently there’s some golden combo of components that gets you a lower-than-5.3L displacement…

Mazda 2 with stick shift.

Nah, just go to where she’s doing her thing. She’s still writing great content.

Way too weird and RHD to make the asking price even remotely logical. 

The Ford GN34. Mid-engine using the Yamaha V6 from the SHO. What might have been.

oooooooooooooooh

For a commuter/beater, I’d look for an older Civic hatchback, to be honest. It sounds like you want small, efficient, & simple, so a Civic or Integra would do, while still being fun to drive and (in theory) disposable enough that after you’re done there, you can essentially ditch it.

That’s as nice a TT as I’ve seen and while I wouldn’t want it for myself (IIRC, I don’t fit well), I would not hesitate to share that listing with anyone who was shopping for something different and interesting. NP

Larry David’s response is the point of the story. Geez.

At least the snake stayed intact this time. I’ve seen pictures of a snake that got caught up in a pulley underhood once. Not pretty.

I wouldn’t trust the aero effects of that shape any more than I could afford to buy one. 

When I was a teenager, someone in my small hometown had one of these, and every time I saw it, I thought “that’s a cool car.” Looked just like this one. I do think it’s a bit spendy on the surface but if it’s got modernized A/C and the suspension has been refreshed, as well as all of the other maintenance that’s…

I seem to recall the XC70 having terrible legroom.

Big sedans like the Caddy or my 2008 Taurus are really easy to get in and out of. OP said she didn’t like the cheapass leather in the Chrysler but that might just be a Chrysler problem.

Based on the same platform as the S80, but there was a lot of time and development separating them.

Lease a base-model Honda Odyssey and just make sure it’s in Eco mode when the parents are on-board so the throttle response is well-damped. Then when you’re on your own, take it out of Eco and put the transmission in Sport mode, and you can boogie. That was the biggest surprise for me when we got ours...it’s actually…
