My car’s easy enough: it’s a 2015 WRX and they’re still making parts. It also has a significant enthusiast community and aftermarket support. OEM suppliers, Rallysport Direct, and ebay/craigslist/facebook marketplace for used stock parts are my go-to sources. I’ve done the pick-and-pull game, as well, but the colour…

Business in the front.

I guess I have a list:

I didn’t say it was a good tax, nor did I say it happened in all states not Texas.

NP. This is gorgeous. If I were in need of a daily driver, I’d buy it immediately.

Maybe, just maybe, your car isn’t a gaming system. Maybe it’s a two-tonne missile that you’re piloting around other two-tonne missiles, as well as a bunch of very soft, breakable humans who have as much as a right to be out there as you do.

It’s one of those things that happens in states connected to the national grid.

Dingdingding. A 20-y-o car worth $4000 is going to be minimal in property taxes when compared to a brand new car.

You’re telling me: I got a ‘78 R100! The R nineT is ABSOLUTELY the new bike I would have bought.

I mean, I pay for fuel, my licence, and the registration to drive my car on the road, which I think is more in keeping with the wireless service.

1st gear: the more and more connected everything becomes, the more and more it makes me really nervous for the future of maintenance and ownership. I just bought a motorcycle, and I specifically sought out an old example that depends on carbs and hydraulics for its essential functions. (Sure, it’s got a starter motor,…

I just bought an old motorcycle last week, and throughout the entire thing did my best to ask questions like “where would you like to meet” and let the seller know things like “a friend will be driving me there to look at it” as well as other things of that ilk, even though I was corresponding with a man selling the…

6-cylinder Boxster with a manual transmission for just a hair above $6k? Sign me the fuck up.

I would have immediately rebadged it as a Holden Commodore for that exact reason.

The RDX: maybe google the name you’ve chosen for your crossover to see if you share it with an explosive before you go ahead.

The Bollinger, a very expensive EV with lots of tech, is a significantly more interesting vehicle to me precisely because of their interior design philosophy. ‘Tech’ isn’t bad, but I sure wish we’d stop conflating ‘technology’ with bright, loud, energy-grabbing widgets.

We already have enthusiasts buying the (comparatively) greasy, smelly, noisy cars of their grandfathers.

I actively discourage people from asking me for car recommendations because what people want is for someone to make them feel better about buying an overly-expensive SUV to haul little Jimothy to school. No one wants to hear that they should have just bought a minivan; people want to be assuaged from a perceived…

I think you just showed me the first EV I actually want.
