LOVED driving my MINI, LOVE not having the stress of owning it anymore.

It ticks so many right boxes, but totally misses “not getting cut in half in a minor fender bender, because 80s crash safety was for shit”. For this price, you can have so many other manual, AWD sedans, 30 years newer. You can get WRXs for this money, if you don’t want them this clean. You can get an Angel Eye Impreza…

I’d consider buying this, if I was gonna make a post-apocalypse or retro-futuristic B grade sci-fi flick, but only for like... 1/3 this price, tops.

Sooo...it’s a lifted Honda Civic?

It’s just...bland. Sure, the seats may hug your butt like a comfy couch, but luxurious it never was, and it was utterly miserable to drive. ND. If I’m taking a gamble on mechanicals in a “luxury” car, there are plenty of BMWs and Audis on Craigslist in this price range, and I can still get parts for those...

The amount of rust on that brake booster scares me. ND without that replaced with a verifiably good component, and I’d still haggle down below $4k if I could. Too many other comparable vehicles for the same money that won’t cut you in half if you get in a fender bender...

German chassis, French engine, English build quality...

My R55 was at 127k when I got rid of it. VANOS gonna VANOS, some gremlin in my turbo plumbing somewhere that replacing every component didn’t fix, oil seeping up a sensor line on its way to fry the ECU, and yeah...oil consumption that makes any of my Subarus look positively conservative by comparison...

Just priced out the VR6 version of one of these (ok, S-Line, not S4, but still...) when I was car shopping for my girlfriend. It came in about half this price, just as clean, at a used car lot. Can’t say I’d pay this much more for this example...

Part of me wants to say the Testa Rossa, but I’ve gotta go with the Conquest TSi (Mitsubishi Starion outside the US), with the louvered rear window. Just gets that angular, neo-futuristic styling from the 80s right.

Hey, at least it was an R53. The R56 generation was even less reliable as the miles tick on...

I’ve gotta go with ND. It’s not a terrible price for one of these in clean condition, but...there’s just so much to un-fuck, that it should cost half as much.

That’s kinda the plan. I’ve got catnip spray to scent the carriers, and I’m gonna grab some actual catnip this evening after work. It was either that, or the kitty-xanax the vet uses, but I couldn’t get any of that. Still, wrangling them each morning for 3 days is gonna be...fun.

The first time I drove to Vancouver from Detroit was something of a comedy of errors. I took a buddy with me, so we could try to get there without stopping, driving and sleeping in shifts. Well, that works great if you trust your buddy’s driving, and don’t feel like you have to stay awake, in case something stupid…

Being trans is quite an experience, and one that most of the world hasn’t the faintest clue about. Charlie goes to great lengths to show non-trans people what it’s like to be trans, and just how...normal most of us really are. That’s something that shouldn’t need saying in 2021, but with so many people actively trying…

Man I just got back from my first trip to California, and seeing lane splitting in person for the first time. You are not kidding about it being ballsy - especially with how few drivers out there do things like check blind spots, and pay attention to stop signs! About to move there, and I’m wondering if I should…

It’s clean, it’s a somewhat interesting show car, but you know what it isn’t? Worth $30k.

I know the price is a bit high, but damn if it isn’t clean enough that I wouldn’t pass it up if I was in the market for an M3...I prefer the E46, and from what I’m seeing in the comments, I could probably have one for this price, but that recent VANOS rebuild is a point in this thing’s favor, for me. Having seen how…

I’m all about the Samoas, but I’ve got to admit the new “Toast Yay” cookies are giving them a pretty serious run for their money...

I was gonna come to this article to make some remark about how you’re no Fancy Kristen (because of the preview paragraph), but I gotta say...that shop of the van version of the Soul is...actually kinda hot. I’d drive that.
