I hear you can rent a small diameter pipe bender at your local auto store.

Looks simple enough...

Here’s mine:

Why are you being so mean?

What about eye lashes on a Caliber Compass ?

The A4 in Spirited Away is interesting because it helps describe the father. He’s very conscious of appearance (thus an exclusive foreign car) but still cheap because the car’s a left hand drive import. Buying a proper A4 in Japan - with right hand drive - would have been too expensive.

I’ve actually seen this car clean up nice with the right wheels. It’s still a heavy pig of a poser ride in the world drop top coupes but I’m not completely turned off by it’s looks as much as some people are...or as much as say a 1992 Celica, which is yet another Toyota that suffers from bad factory wheel selection.

A convertible for under 10k that runs and doesn’t look like a sun damaged rust bucket? I would say NP. While it may not be prettiest car on the block, the price is good for a weekend cruiser.

My reactions on reading this headline...

The warm heat of a dutch oven.

We are talking about truckers here, so the correct terminology please.

for the “full trucking experience.”

they really do need to figure out some kind of urine management system

Subjective.

You’ve come a long way, baby.

Lexus already blew Mercedes out of the water thirty years ago. Hyundai and Tesla maybe are hoping to trash-talk Volkswagen.

Await Hyundai depreciation.

when you’re stuck in stop and go traffic every day for an hour (ie. most people) - the “perceived” handling differences are moot. Really all you want is a comfortable interior, some extra hp for passing power, a good infotainment system and good sound deadening. I continue to roll my eyes at some of the “handling”…

Just take the Gurney bump and make it a Lincoln bump.
