Ok. So if you were cross-comparing this with a Toyota Corolla Wagon, say, an 03 XRS, where would the big differences be?

Man, I hope they bring the wagon back.

And that’s why I got a WRX.

I remember the first Yugo I saw driving down the street stopped at a traffic light. Then when it drove off it left the entire exhaust behind, up to the headers.

I think you should go for something your family members have a lot of experience with. Though maybe in the rear seats, not the front. It’s got plenty of power and you can give it more, every part can be replaced and upgraded.

Works fine with my Anker headphones. Q10 or Q30.

One day, I’m gonna make that improved Auto Assault. First lesson?

I miss my XRS. Good old Whatis. Ate BMWs, and hauled entire apartments. And you could camp in it.

Well, that’s about right for the inflation.

Oldest car Hot Wheels will ever make? I beg to differ, sir.

Why... does it have a teardrop tattoo under its eyes? Has it been in jail?

He was Jon Stewart of the 1930s

A little slow, but it can be meaningfully cross-compared against the internal combustion car I have (WRX) and that’s not bad. I mean, it’s ten grand more, and slightly worse in every way, but it is in the range. We’re getting there!

Yes! That was what a guy used to patch an engine block. I still don’t believe it, but... Good stuff.

I miss my old Impulse, but neat as the pods were, yeah, it wasn’t any better. Or worse. But you could adjust the angle of the pods. So that’s an advantage.

Anyone else just got Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse in their head?

And that’s why Subaru took over from Volvo.

That’s a shame. Whatis, the ‘03 Matrix XRS (Toyota Corolla hatch) hit 200k, with only clutch changes, and that was mostly my fault. Yamaha aluminum block, same engine as the Lotus Elise, suspension of the Celica GT-S, and a cargo capacity that once fit 52 computers. Hauled ass and assloads. Used to have great fun with…

Repairs, of course. Weird experiences the car survived. Things you’ve done to make the car work for you. Finding gas or parts in the middle of nowhere...

Yeah, I’ve had good luck in emergencies but never on anything I’m not gonna replace as soon as I get back to somewhere I can get parts. It’s not a repair, for me, it’s a ‘limp to where I can fix it.’
