When there were no sidewalks in NYC, there were also no horses. Sidewalks existed so people didn’t fall into the mud and horsepoop in the street.

Huh. Didn’t know Dad’s midlife anticrisismobile had a 2JZ in it.

The reason I went with Miata over WRX is she’s married, but there’s no mention of kids. So there’s probably another car.

My first thought while watching all this: “I wonder if a ‘60s Cooper modified Mini could just waltz through all of this mess.”

A daily driver. Spirited, easy to park. Not too expensive.

... man, I just don’t _like_ leather seats. 

The thing is, the wheels and mirrors are a giveaway. That’s not just a Turbo.

Those aren’t pop up headlights. The headlights are permanently mounted. What you have there are ‘eyebrows’, shields that lower to partially cover the headlights.

I’m missing my eyebrow’d baby now. Poor girl, she’s the one who got away.

Good LORD that box has to be an oven in any temperature. No windows, no vents. 

Yeah, 20 other people made the joke and I can’t delete it. Ah well.

So... these are the ones Tom couldn’t Fix It Again, huh?

*looks at this review*

In this specific case, the cladding’s at least partially there to take the hit when you’re driving on unimproved gravel roads, driveways, or parking lots. Like what you find in Aspen or your local yacht club, or out camping. Anywhere that combines ‘has some money’ with ‘no, paving this stuff would be stupid.’

Good engine, solid front axle. Manual.

My WRX has a higher towing capacity. And it shouldn’t have a towing capacity at _all_.

2500 cp max for these fights.

Well, I don’t know if it’ll hold _enough_, but a Cube pops into my head here. Or a Scion b of some sort, but the cute square ones are kinda old by now. Fold the rear seats up or just yank ‘em, and you’ll have something quirky.

Yeah, produced in ‘79 for the ‘80 model year, but STILL, c’mon man. (gestures) 

Darn it, why couldn’t you have used a ‘79? You know you want this car. You know we all wanted this car. And it took Subaru to bring it to the masses.
