I have to say, that over the past 25 or so years, I don’t think I’ve owned the same brand twice. I have gone from a Chevrolet Blazer, to and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, to a Chrysler 300, to a Mitsubishi Montero, to a Hummer H3 Alpha, to a Ford Flex, with a Kia Sportage for my wife thrown in for shits and giggles. I…

The answer is always Miata. And before you say it, yes I have driven an NA Miata, even tracked one. It is cramped, rough riding, I don’t like styling. It quite literally does nothing for me at all.

My first car out of college was a 10 year old 1982 Blue Chrysler 5th Avenue, with the landau roof, quilted leather seats, wood(like) trim, and spoked hub caps.  It was like riding on glass.  Just thinking about it makes me want another one.

My take exactly.  Would I buy it?  Hell no!!  But it is at a price point that any kid working a part time grocery bagging job could probably afford...and would probably buy.  I can’t see many grown ass men even allowing this abomination to be parked in front of their house though.

100% agree. No listed mileage, ONE single pic of the exterior of the car (taken at night no less), ZERO pics of the undercarriage of a car that turns to dust if it’s exposed to anything more than soap and water. Hard no at $8K. NP with a clean visual inspection at $6000.

I bought my 2002 Montero with 40,000 miles on it, and it ALWAYS had that annoying lifter noise. More-so when it was hot than when it was cold (Iowa summer vs. Iowa winter). It never burned any oil, until my son killed it at 220,000 miles. It’s just one of those things that you get used to.

Might want to actually read the description:

“The police involved were identified by The Star Tribune as Anoka County Sheriff’s Office troopers and deputies.”

I’ll do one better. My brother-in-law is a Minnestota State Trooper, a ranking officer...who was in Minneapolis on Sunday.  I just got off the phone with him.  There was NO official order to “strategically” (lol) slash tires in parking lots on Sunday, or any other fucking (his word) day.

Most hitches are relatively cheap and easy to install. I just put $169, 2" hitch on my 2018 Flex with the help of a friend in about 20 minutes. No wiring, just the hitch for a bike rack.

I had a neighbor that had a beater Gran Torino in the early 80's. He fixed it up and painted it to look like the Starsky and Hutch car from the TV show. Everyone was jealous, right up until he rolled it taking a corner too fast...which meant taking a corner at anything faster than a crawl.

Well, I work in healthcare, so things are definitely stressful. I finally received my N95 mask Tuesday. I regularly see 40-60 patients a day, 80% of whom are elderly, and the vast majority of them live in nursing homes or retirement communities...so basically a petri dish for the virus. But I am considered “essential”…

Bought my 2018 CPO with 17000 miles in 2019. Pushing 50K now and have done nothing but replaced the tires. Top of the line Limited, no new rattles, no finiky issues at all.

In other news, the sun is hot, and water is wet.

God I hate that place!! I took my wife there on one our first dates, at the Mall of America shortly after it opened. And now, she insists on going there every damn time we visit the Twin Cities. 

Not so my friend. I just replaced all 4 - 20" tires on my 2018 Flex with BFG’s for under $800.

I knew about the driving barefoot thing, but I, unfortunately, did not know about driving with a cast or walking boot on your right foot. I tore up my ankle during a league basketball game, and was forced into a walking boot for 6 weeks. On my way home from the Dr. on the very first day, and driving with my left foot…

I’m right there with you. I had a 2002 with that same 3.0, and drove it 200,000 problem free miles. Then I gave it to my son (pictured) and he drove it into the ground.

1973 Chevelle SS. Got it to replace my complete and total shitbox, a 1973 AMC Hornet. Clean, straight body, blue metallic paint. It was a beautiful ride. I got it for what I thought was a steal at $1500 my senior year in high school. Less than a year later, 200 miles from home and in the middle of nowhere, the tranny…
