Meanwhile, I’m wondering we’ll ever see a manual AWD Challenger. Or if I should downsize my summer wheels to 15 inches for a little more comfort. Or whether I should even care or have an opinion about a $60k USD vehicle when I know I’ll probably never spend that much on a car that isn’t a forever vehicle.

What automotive questions have you been pondering?

I’ve been pondering what project to tackle after my electrical project. lights? rack? seats? so many choices!

Lights are great because visibility is rad.

A rack is good because having a secure spot to hold stuff is rad.

Seats may be the best option, because you spend a lot of your time sitting in your car.

I made a deal with the er.....wife to keep the i3 in exchange for the ability to buy another Corvette in four years. I hope the normal path is followed, and these depreciate to under $40k for a 2021 Z51....

mid-engined viper with hellcat engine when is the real question

Pondering why the 2nd gen Fronty went to a 6x4.5 bolt pattern in 2005 while all other makes/models other than the old Durango used something else..

At least the Pathfinder and Xterra came along too..

I can only ever see the truck being my forever vehicle. But I don’t plan on getting rid of the Fiesta for years.

How much would it cost to manual, Hellcat swap an E91?

Will a Volvo wagon with plaid seats that can be ordered new and picked up at the factory in Sweden by the time I can afford to do that?

I’ve been wondering if I should buy a vehicle I don’t necessarily need — nor could currently afford — soon before this speculative, nostalgia-addicted 2nd-hand market spirals the cost of all decent used trucks completely out of my reach.

07/19/2019 at 19:17

Anything cheaper than a BMW. I’m not going to get rid of the 3, it’s paid for and I’ve spent a good deal on maintenance . So it’s more of a “what if.”

One big reason I’ve been so anxious to get a 2nd vehicle is to keep my forever LJ more youthful. 20+k miles/year aren’t doing her any favors.

I’m wondering whether I should put snow tires (in the fall) on my factory 16's on the Volvo, then get decent summer tires on cheap 17's from Tire Rack for next summer (and subsequent summers) or just put snows on cheap wheels and run 16's all the time.

Kinja'd!!!

I’ve been pondering which Miata to buy and how much to spend. Do I go for the purity of an NA, the additional power and refinement of an NB, or find a sweetheart deal on an unloved NC? I don’t mind doing some work on my cars, but since I have to do street parking I can’t have a something that’s going to need more repairs than I can do whilst parked in front of the house.

I’d struggle with driving a car. Now that I’m used to not worrying about clearance, I find myself doing stupid things when I’m driving a rental, like damaging the front bumper on kerbs.

Cheap I’m down with. Just gotta find that manual XJ.

Wondering when I will have better car storage situation. (Single lane drive way, with a “car tent” at the back and 5 cars.) Well be losing one soonish but still a 10+ minute ordeal to get the car in the back out

W e followed a lime green one that was bagged on the way to dinner - we were sitting behind it at the light when, “PSHTT....” and it dropped an inch and a half. It was an automatic.

Who the hell would actually pay money for the piece of shit rental Sentra I’m driving. This is quite possibly the worst transmission I’ve ever experienced.

smobgirl > Just Jeepin'
07/19/2019 at 22:04

I have the opposite problem. Can’t run over s o much as a soda can in the Abarth so I do a lot of flinching in rentals before I realize I’m gonna make it just fine.

smobgirl > functionoverfashion
07/19/2019 at 22:06

When you decide can you let me know so I stop wondering about that on the Fiat?

Man, when I rented a lowered S2000 through Turo, it was brutal.

CB > smobgirl

Hence why I'm trying to tell my sister not to get one.

smobgirl > CB

It’s horrible. I can’t even see someone who doesn’t give a shit about cars being ok with how this thing drives. The funniest part (because if I didn’t laugh I would drive off a cliff) is watching how this shit transmission deals with cruise control with even the most infinitesimal elevation changes.

And have I mentioned how awful the brakes are? It feels like when the master cylinder went out on our company car, only there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this.

I had a ‘95 Sentra back in the day. It was boring but indestructible and not inherently terrible. The 2018 is a different story.

(You can send her my way if she wants an even more detailed rant, I’ll put another 500 miles on it tomorrow so I’m sure I’ll be in a fantastic mood by the time I’m back home.)

I find that if you go cheap enough things start to get extremely not boring . Though fear for your life is probably not what you meant.

Or, 3.0 Duramax Colorado. Feel like that could be fun.
