I think you're really missing something by not having 2003's The Rundown on this list.

I’m surprised no one has considered Scion.

The stigma that came with my Prius.

The guy is indeed a madman. His video descending Tuna in Malibu gives a new perspective on what someone can do if they lose their ability to be cautious.

We bought my wife’s Toyota Sienna in 2019 for $32k (down from $38k MSRP from negotiating and dealer discounts).

Bugatti Type 51 coupe. Amazingly, I’ve seen it and similar cars for free at the Nethercutt Collection near me in LA.

Yes, but only up to a point.

I’ve tracked the cost per mile of my Prius and, for about 12k miles/year, I've averaged $0.32/mile. It's insanely low, and that includes a battery replacement.

Hey, I DO live 5 minutes from there! What area were you?

1988 German hatchback, 4 cylinder inline front-mid/front wheel drive with a letter/number combo that’s fun to drive but shitty build quality.

Maybe Mitsubishi can pick this up and rebadge it for their goal of becoming relevant again.

Obligatory:

I was driving on the 405 South in Los Angeles with traffic (of course there was traffic) and I saw a guy on a motorcycle texting... On a flip phone.

I recently read “Predicably Irrational” by Dan Ariely, and this article reminds me of a section where he mentions a photographer friend who wanted a new camera. After narrowing it down to two options, he spent months comparing and contrasting every feature between them. After a few months, he finally decided and…

Surprising candidate: the 2000 Buick LeSabre I once got from my grandpa. You’d be surprised how many of your boxes it ticks.

Like Miss Moffet, he has kerbs in his way.

Import a TVR Tuscan (circa 1989-1993). Well within budget at £30k, then use the remaining for importing fees and the anticipated repairs. It’s already set up for the track, and there will be NO one with a similar car.

Hey, this sounds familiar! I also recently moved to an increased commute of 12 miles (although mine is in LA, which also has traffic).

About halfway through, I realized I had a big grin on my face.

Yay! I got a H/T!
