Yeah what the heck Jalop, this should’ve been a slideshow

now available in exciting colors like “black” and “white” and “grey”, as well as “bluish grey” and “brownish grey” and “sparkly grey”.

Whatever color they have in stock is not the color I want but I am willing to take it if they don’t have (whatever color they don’t have). This actually saved me tons of money on a few cars. The last one, I didn’t really care about the color, but I bought a Fiat 500 Abarth that someone ordered in powder blue, then…

I love love love 4th gen nissan maximas. Might be Vq lust, might be that I find them extremely comfortable to drive long distances, whatever - but I love them. Can’t help it. The absolute most normal car I love.

Just something with enough power, and enough handling, and 200-300 miles of range that is small, nimble, and handles well would be fine. An electric Miata or Fiesta ST equivalent with 250 miles of range would be great. Slow, all things considered, but fun. And doesn’t need to look like a potato transformer catfish…

Man it sure seems like cops picking on ex marines all the time could go really really poorly for them if their frustration exceeds their sense of right and wrong.

I was able to return my lease after 60 days because my Giulia was in the shop most of the time with un-solveable brake and trans codes/lights. I tried really hard to wait it out because I had a similar issue with a Fiat 500 Abarth but in two months of my lease I was able to drive the Giulia for a total of 9 days…

Broncito!

Nah my daily is almost always hauling just me, maybe the wife. The FiST is fine right now but the wear and tear on my elbows is killing me - and I’ve spent way too much on surgeries to risk it lol. Hasn’t been an issue for almost 2 years but I finally had to head back in to the office a few times and spending an hour…

I’m pretty out of love with VW’s, I’ll only ever own another modern VW while it’s in warranty, and even then they’ve been kinda boring since... mk5 or so? I test drove a turbo mustang and it felt a bit porky, and where I plan to park it isn’t quite long enough. It would fit in that end of my garage, but I wouldn’t be…

I come to the comments to see if someone dropped the list here so I don’t have to look at the slideshow - if not, I’m out.

I’ll have to see if I can go for another spin. I have other faster toys around, just looking for a daily that isn’t straight up boring. I did drive a veloster N and wasn’t really into it, need to go test drive the dual clutch version. It’s a bit too much, I don’t need something “fast”, just something reasonably…

Yeah I just need a daily I can park outside and not worry about, and since I can’t realistically do my own work/maintenance anymore I figured a toyoburu would be pretty reliable and easy to maintain. My wife said “what about a camry?” and I died a little inside.

I’ve owned too many VW’s to want another vw ;)

I’d love to hear some long-term feedback. I currently have a 2017 Fiesta ST as a daily, but after a string of arm surgeries, my doctor has essentially ordered me to stop driving a manual. I was really really thinking about sampling an 86, either an older one or a new GR - but was wondering if it’s awful with an…

Doug DeMuro should go investigate lol

Ah gotcha, I wasn’t paying attention - thought you were the smog dude :P

The taurus in the first pic made me dry heave.

Thanks. I think I’m 1.5 years out from my first smogging and don’t exactly know where my stock IC is... The car’s been in for service a few times and the techs didn’t notice the IC - I’m hoping the visual is just a quick glance. I doubt I’ll get ref’d the car is otherwise stock, I just got tired of constant limp mode.…

Ha yeah, test driven twice - it’s not *that* great of a car. I’d rather less horsepower and weight, it feels pretty porky on the road for it’s size.
