Why ? Because you want to support the auto industry, and through your patronage help them see the value in continuing to make the kind of cars you like to drive. At least that’s my reasoning.

I don’t care why you buy the cars you do, since that doesn’t actually affect me. What does affect me is when the people who trot…

Why would I spend more money on a brand new car that immediately loses value the second I sign the paperwork when I have the skill and ability to fix a used car and possibly even make it worth more than I paid for it in doing so?

Let Me Explain II—Electric Boogaloo

The apple of your eye goes out in her new “OMG it’s so CUTE!” car and rear-ends someone at 40 because texting “OMG in my new car it’s so CUTE!.” Any new car she’d be fine, but the crash proves fatal because not only does the car lack any safety devices it’s also a crumbling…

Crack Pipe, but let me explain:

Slap a Tesla badge on it, double the price, yank out all the instruments, and get Elon to do a Facebook live event. They’ll sell like hotcakes.

Because it’s not a GTI competitor and a GTI with the LSD is almost 29k. This is a car you cross shop against a Honda Civic or Mazda3 and in that respect, it does the job well.

They should re-make the stereos with modern bluetooth/MP3 storage. They would sell thousands.

Looks like she even has the PVC pipe Andrew needs LOL!

wow. I don’t allow food or drink in mine, and here you are allowing for food, drink and then food and drink again after they’ve been “processed”

I think a better option would be to take the Type R and make it look like a ‘normal’ Civic (which is slightly less ugly).

It makes me crazy how many times ‘sleepers’ have aftermarket wheels and chrome skull shifters.

with the gearing ratio applied, that solid piece of steel jammed in a gear is more than adequate to keep a stationary vehicle stopped on a hill.
The true problem is how the electromechanical engagement of it is unreliable.

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

Man the west coast is weird.

Here on the east coast those cars would be sold in 10 minutes, especially the 80% complete ‘73 with the big bug catcher.

I prowl BaT and I see Datsun 510s selling for 30 grand in California and yet split bumper Camaros and Firebirds with 15,000 dollar engines sell for 20 grand out there...…

Not arguing your decision--only your conclusion. It sounds to me as though personal economics was what drove your purchasing decision. As it does with most people. If I had 150 mile round trip every day, you can be damned sure I’d be looking first for the most fuel efficient car I could find, and then I would start…

I think that was YOUR environment, not THE environment. You weren’t trying to save the world, you were just trying to save a buck.

Fucking Volvos. Any of them lol.
