6'3" and I drive a MINI comfortably. Your point?

Not surprised that people don’t know about the timing chain guide thing. Most people here think every Subaru has constant head gasket failures, not just the NA EJ25 models that haven’t had their head gaskets replaced with metal ones. Cars are only as good as their stereotypes!

Yassss! That was the best minigame in any of them!

What, no recommendation for the MINI Clubvan?

Wait...are those BOLTS through your headliner/roof? What were they holding on?

I can’t help but imagine what the truck racing people could do with one of those...

At that price it’d have to have a manual for me to care.

My girlfriend just got a MkIV Jetta. I’d consider this one if you paid me $2995 to take it, but holy crap does so much flake out on the MkIV VWs...

Your WRX was “a beast”? 326hp is a Cobb Stage 1 tune on 93 octane...

Huh...it’s almost as if completely ignoring the one desire coming from the very vocal target demographic for this car has them shopping elsewhere. Who’d have thunk it?

I’m not the person you were asking, but as another trans woman, here’s my thoughts on your question:

I really wanna say NP because it ticks so many of my favorite boxes, but...Old BMWs are as expensive as Alfas and Land Rovers...Sad CP

My stray dog remark was blatantly obvious hyperbole, but apparently you had too much of a hard-on for pedantry to notice.

Your straw man of “choice” relegates poor people to driving deathtraps - you realize that, right? The auto industry didn’t make cheaper cars that were less safe, ALL cars were unsafe back then, but the cheaper ones were even LESS safe. Poor people shouldn’t have to “choose” between fuel economy, and not dying or…

Oh man the nazi skins at ska and punk shows in the 90s were great practice for throwing elbows! Good times!

They did. There are a surprising number of  boring cars there.

Todays are heavy because we like the idea of not dying in a collision with a stray dog, no less Karen’s SUV.

Those are all cool cars (marginally including the F bodies and the Fox body, for those who sported mullets). This is a Ford Tempo.

This is the one Christmas song I ever share. Good stuff!

Is there a papercut chainsaw? Please tell me there’s a papercut chainsaw...
