In three years I will be in the market for a 710. Always wanted to swap in a QR25DE engine from a Sentra SE-R, mated to the manual transmission from a Nissan Frontier. Keep it for me, unless Steve snaps it up.

I was surprised at how... boring many of the suggestions were. I would find an eighties Toyota Cressida. Unlimited swap and modification opportunities, you could have tons of fun tinkering without buying unreliable on purpose.

The link doesn’t work! But thanks to the Internet Archive, I am good to waste about fifteen minutes of work.

I do have a kid, and the same. Anything that’s legal for sale in the developing world is more than safe enough for me and mine. (this is passive safety we are talking about, right? can’t have too much active safety.)

Anything built by Geo? They didn’t build anything at all, except their badges. Otherwise, yes.

I rarely wear a watch, but I assure you that it is better at telling me what time it is than a phone is. At the risk of being old, sometimes a single-function item is so good at what it does that it remains relevant.

I had a ‘93 Classic wagon with a five-speed, in red. Paid $3,300 for it, 240K miles but damn near pristine. Rewiring the bootlid cost $200 and fixed the rear wiper.

I welcome Acadian or Asüna

If only those damned Canadians had voted smarter, too.

Bwahahah! Sadly the trickle evaporates quickly, and rises upwards again.

“Safety Third” is my new motto. (starts t-shirt design)

However, this level of logic is not what underpins 99% of those loans.

Although I think that living cheap and having a nice car is justifiable - if it’s worth it to you.

Just spent ten minutes logging into Kinja so that I could say that - needlessly, since you already did. Cheers.

I think that hatch beneath the bed on the pickup is for the spare tire - presumably it had to be relocated.

The EU does allow people to import cars, as long as they can meet emissions standards. See Great Britain’s IVA scheme, for instance. Another thing to notice is how clear the guidelines are and how easy to find - in a free country.
