After watching this and reading the comments, it really makes me want to spend the money and keep my mk4 wagon going. It’s got a couple rust issues creeping up, but nothing that can’t be fixed. Other than that it’s completely mechanically sound at 183kmi. I’ve owned it for 5 years, and bought it from the original…

I found myself and family members but all different addresses. My family lives in the North East, and though none of them were the exact home address, they were all within the tri-state area.

I work at a place that was 9-6 and we fought for like 2 years to finally get “flex time” of an 8-5 option. I’m 27, but I’d come in at 6 or 7 if I could. I’d rather have an evening to do things and not get out at 6pm.

This is like a Mitch Hedberg joke.

Both my wife and I have cards to get into work. That one stays in the car, and my work ID stays in my wallet. I’d love a little slot like that because sometimes my card gets suctioned to the inside of my door pocket.

As much as I understand the safety argument, I kind of hate that argument, and I totally agree with your original comment. The more new cars I get into, I just can’t stop thinking of how much I don’t like them. Even my 2002 VW seems old just because it has small pillars and low window sills. I can actually see out of…

It already comes stanced with broken rear air suspension too. It’s almost tucking tire!

Funny that you mention “a one night stand from 2008". In 2009 I worked with a girl, we went out a few times, and then I went back to college and we never spoke again. We have no mutual friends, live on opposite sides of the country, and yet Instagram suggested me as someone I may know. I’m not sure I have her phone…

I worked as a detail guy in high school, and the bay I worked in was at the end of the shop. I worked next to a lube tech who on one occasion drained the ATF, then added more engine oil, and wondered what was wrong with the car when he want to back it off the lift. I do my own oil changes for piece of mind. I don’t…

This is my whole argument. I’ll dispose of everything properly if you make it easy. In NY my dad worked at a shop, so he’d take them to work. When I lived in MI, they make you fill out a form, and you’re lucky if they take them, so half the time they ended up in the trash. Now I live in CA, they take all the liquids,…

The 550 or 575 was THE car of my childhood. I had desktop backgrounds (for our windows 95 computer) AOL screen names, MSN email addresses, I was fully committed. I’m in no way able to own one, and probably never will be, but if I had the option I would have to do it simply to be the guy that gets the car he grew up…

Yea pretty much. I have a 1/4 scale fiberglass Ford Ka in my parents basement because somehow my college had it, and when they were going to toss it, I took it.

Was it the new Clarity? I don’t think they look that great, but they do look better than the Toyota Mirai

I did know that about the EV1, but was unaware about the Mini. I guess that explains why I saw them, and don’t anymore.

I don’t know about the Mirai, but I know the hydrogen Clarity (current and previous gens) is essentially a loaner car that Honda gets back at the end because they doesn’t know the long term reliability of the hydrogen powertrain. I guess I’m unsure how hydrogen could be the future if Honda doesn’t trust their…

And here I thought I was the only one.

I couldn’t agree more. Mycar has a GIAC X+ tune with 2.5in turbo back exhaust, lightweight flywheel, stage one clutch, and I honestly love it. It scoots right along, and 20lbs of boost is plenty fun. Even my muscle car driving boss thinks it’s a cool car for what it is. I know it’s not much in the big scheme, but for…

I’m not sure about the Camry, but from what I understand the Accord was done in Japan oddly enough.

Out of all the things that exist as standard equipment on cars, I do not understand why the lights don’t automatically turn on if your wipers turn on.

I grew up in NY, moved to MI for school and work and never registered my car there for the insurance reason. I was 25 with a Jetta wagon and they wanted 6k a year. My then gf (now wife) didn’t believe me until we moved to CA where we pay under $1,000 for my Jetta and her Mariner. Her dad was so skeptical of the price…
