The Mazda 3 is the answer. Small but fun. Even a little stylish with the hatch. I THINK it still has a manual option. Inexpensive ( not cheap ).

Yes.  It is luke knowing what causes a company support 

As a child growing up a Star Wars geek, as an adult I wanted the prequels to be The Godfather quality cinema. They were not and I was one of the dissapointed shouters. Years later I rewatched the prequel trilogy with my self created low expectations and enjoyed them immensely.

A boat or a “project car” is not the same as cultural or ethnic expressions...wow.  That was a terrible false equivalence.

That is precisely it - I’ve thoroughly enjoyed a good Whopper but cannot recall when that last occurred.

The Quarter-Pounder is the only decent thing at McD’s, and probably the nationally available best fast-food burger. (Culvers crushes it though, as does other regional-only fast-food sandwiches and virtually ALL independent shops) I don’t remember when, but it feels like somewhere in the mid-90's the Whopper was the…
