When I got my first manual car at 22, my hard top 240sx (S13) base model with no sunroof (RIP), I re-learned how to drive stick overnight.

Omni heat sh*t for sure.

Warp 1 is driving through Yosemite in January when the roads are Icy behind a kid in their 20s in their first new Subaru.

Never have/never will understand the appeal of these ugly things.

It sounds like they want to punish us for their hairbrained decision to not sell the Skyline in all the markets that wanted them.

It’s an automatic tho. :/

I wish we could apply that rule for people who can’t drive in traffic.

It’s a matter of being inattentive and lacking the ability to properly operate the vehicle that they are in control of.

Ok, so that’s not a horrible suggestion. It’s just the styling is ugly, and I need more hybrid chops since my commute is 30 minutes over 6 miles of stop and go. During the weekends I visit the next big metropolitan area over 330 miles away.

A plane ticket to another city might be better.

Another note, I’m looking for a replacement for my 2004 xB, an 87WHP, 5-speed manual, low CG, lightweight (2,425lbs), corner carving, urban runabout that’s only missing a modern hybrid power plant and cruise control.

I read “Toyota’s Bland People”

An Alfa 4C Competitor sounds like a great idea.

which site?

You f’d up. The GX470 could’ve been had for 5k 2 years ago with 200k on the clock. Now all the overland wannabes are scarfing them up.

Don’t forget. It’s also commonly associated w/ Terrorists and the UN as the universal platform for war and peace!

You know how scientists explain how psilocybin, the active ingredient in shrooms, can make someone hear colors and see sound?

To be fair it’s because visibility is total crap when you’re behind a truck/SUV. So then others get a higher riding vehicle to see and block the view for even more people who then buy a higher riding vehicle.

Have your cake and eat it.

One consideration for folks is that owning 4 cars in California is sorta expensive in terms of bogus registration fees and insurance.  So getting just a more expensive car is certainly an option that fulfills the daily driver and track car role.
