Our old Saturn used to get pools of water in the footwells. While we were shopping for it’s replacement (a WRX), we used to joke that nothing had the luxurious Foot Baths like the Saturn had.

No kidding— all that construction on, what was it, 90/94? (I was driving, husband navigated). Posted speed was something like 45… I was regularly doing 75, at least… and there were barely lanes…

Totally. I was yelled at by guys all through high school and college. It made me dress really baggy and loose, and I was actually afraid to wear skirts (even “prude” length) as they always yelled even more. It really didn’t even matter though… Dressing up in a “prude” length pencil skirt or wearing baggy jeans and a…

Massive stars for starting a long discussion about everybody’s slut, asking for it, prude… shorts and skirts. :P It really is just pathetic what women go through with clothes… you’re never just ok, you’re always either too slutty or too prudish…

Hence why I’ve stolen the more roomie boxers from my husband… Boxers were actually my weekend-wear in college, but I’m unfortunately a bit too old to wander around town in them now… So I have my 3 pairs of Asking for It that fit and I hope never ever, ever wear out as *nothing* new fits… (two of those pairs were…

I wouldn’t mind some tease or cheeky shorts… Everything I see is Asking for It, Slut or Whore… Speaking of, I think the length for our high school was just about Cheeky— though that was enforced for girls AND boys (it was the 80’s, so there were still guys who were wearing Slut shorts sometimes).

My husband (then boyfriend) had always wanted a manual but had never driven one, so when his car died, he bought a stick, and couldn’t even drive it home… We were in a mall parking lot one night while I told him to ignore the stupid “shift” light while going through 1st and 2nd and telling him to just listen to the…

OK, so so far my ‘07 TSX is not in the recall (I guess the Japanese plant got different bags?). Our WRX parts just came in today for its recall. How long before the next batch of recall notices so I’ll know when to stop worrying about this??

Asking why there aren’t V6s and V8s and complaining about “tiny” 4 cylinder cars is a very American thing to do. I love the fact that my “little” 4 cyl 2.4L K engine gets 205 horsepower AND does over 30mpg on the highway. Honda just happens to tune their higher engines to within an ounce of their lives and sure, they…

I was just wondering that too— we drove to NYC once, and had to stop in NJ for gas and were rather confused when a guy ran out saying we couldn’t pump our gas… My husband was like, “no, I know how too…” at which point we were informed that there was their weird law… (which we also have to remember in Oregon, though…

The look on the guy’s face when he just shakes his head and keeps hugging the tree as he knows grandma was high when she met grandpa was priceless though :P

That’s pretty much it— they just work. And they’re tough as hell… A 60’ maple next door decided it wanted to take a trip during an ice storm, and landed on our ‘05 WRX. My husband happened to be by the door and saw it bottom out… He was in shock (it’s his baby). I ran out to access the situation, and our landlord…

I still remember driving my car back one night shortly after I got it when I noticed the “imminent death” light (big exclamation mark in the triangle). Freaked me out enough that I pulled over and grabbed the manual. Then I found out I had just bumped the stupid stability control with my knee… really not worth that…

I appear to have suddenly gotten a huge amount of dust in my eyes after watching that again…

I was just thinking that this was like a real-life GT5 race with some of those horribly slow vehicles! Except you probably couldn’t reach over and grab a drink while waiting for the next corner to finally arrive…

So… does that mean US first generation TSX’s are in it now or not? The parenthetical discussion of the Inspire got a little confusing…

When you vote you are influencing the state of affairs in a location and for a population of which you are not a part. … But why should you have any authority to affect the lives of a place and people you’ve actively chosen to not be a part of?

I’d be too scared to look up my first car… It was a ‘90 Grand Am that I inherited when my grandma died. I managed to drive it until it was 17 years old (we had another car for long trips) when I traded it in for my adored Acura… and I know they didn’t appreciate it as much as me even though I did my best to keep up on…

Awwww… Congrats to the happy couple! I’ve always felt honored that my husband actually places me above his car— of course, he knows I care about it almost as much as he does too…

My mom had an Eagle (normal one). Actually quite a good car, though my dad despised the carburetor… (who, who could work on cars, didn’t though). I also find it odd how many new “car” designs are reminding me of it… (we had a Spirit for a little while too— the non-4WD version)
