Anytime I start thinking about buying a new car, I consult the UAW’s list of cars they build, exclude all of those, and then look at what manual transmission vehicles are left. But once I start looking at prices, the budget slams the brakes on the entire process.

My friend is rocking a Fiesta hatch with his first kid. The seat infront of the baby seat is pretty much useless now. and the seat behind the driver was pretty much always useless since the driver needs to fit.

You sir, are a masochist. 

WRX owner... No flat brimmed hat, don’t vape. 2014 hatchback, Plasma Blue. No mods, except for stiffer shifter bushings and a hitch mount bike rack. Guess I am “not like (most of) the others”... Lol. #minority
