The best plate I ever saw seemed innocent at first. A Honda Civic DX with “LITL DX” as the plate. But when you got close and read the frame it said “All my boyfriends had” on the top and “That’s why I’m single” on the bottom. I was in middle school at the time but I remember absolutely falling in love with that lady.

In college I had a 2004 Mazda 3 hatchback which served as my daily driver, rugby team carrier, and my autocross car. It was a great car all-around and I dominated the stock class with the local sports car club autocross scene.

But...I was a product of the Fast and Furious generation and always wanted to modify a car.

I’ve done both (a number of times) and I think I prefer a good example of a cheap car. The issue I’ve experienced with cheap examples of expensive cars is both the upkeep cost and the depreciation.

For example, my current fun car is a 2004 M3 Convertible with a 6-speed. Despite being a one-owner car I got it for under

Uh...I’d hardly consider 1,500 miles in 15 years as “driving” it. Has she driven it? I’m sure. I still give her credit for owning it, but she sure hasn’t done much with it driving-wise.

Don’t race somebody on the street. Please and thanks

I want to know what the rates are for Dodge drivers. Because the fact that they aren’t in the top 10 positively confirms for me that there’s some strong bias there. “aw, it must just be another good ol’ boy, carry on son. Try not to go more than 3x the speed limit though.”

because the ad and article say it has 1,500 miles on it.

I like it, I want it. I don’t $10,500 want it though

Close second:

It is very real

My wife, 3 year old daughter, and 13 month old son, and I are on a trip in our 24-foot Class-C RV towing a small boat for some lake-hopping vacation. About 60 miles from home I smell smoke and the RV seems to be struggling a bit. I pull over on the side of the freeway only to find my front driver side wheel has flames

Ah, sorry...the commuter would definitely be the new Integra Type-S. I’d gladly give up the hatch for that thing.

I’m stoked to say that my current lineup is pretty darn close to my dream:
- 1968 VW Bus Westfalia Tin Top - The around-town surf mobile/family/dog hauler
- 2004 BMW M3 Convertible 6-Speed - The date night car (the convertible part was my wife’s request)
- 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 - The weekend road trip/lake trip/mountain

Um, wasn’t there the Chevy Bolt? I never drove one or knew much about them, but wasn’t that a cheap small EV? I believe the concern with them was range (and quality) but they still sold over 200,000 of them in the US between 2017 and 2023.

Do you actually know these “many people” or are you extending a few independent experiences to an overgeneralization? 

Hummer EV. Let’s make it electric, but as big and obnoxious as possible to do our damndest to negate any real benefits.

Don’t be a clown on the road.

I don’t mean to defend CEO’s, but having worked in somewhat senior roles and had a ton of people on my various teams over the years, the idea that people are compensated for how hard they work is a fallacy. It appears that way because of the BS of how we talk about work; trying to say we’re paying workers for X

I guess when you fit every negative stereotype about a Dodge owner to a T, you become a “Crappy Car Bigot.”

As a daily cycle commuter (including often with my kids on our cargo bike) this absolutely terrifies me. The hype was that this would be safer for “everyone” as you wouldn’t have distracted drivers on the road, but it certainly doesn’t appear as though the hype is real.
