“No one wants to spend six hours driving with me to look at that Tercel!”

“Maybe this is the universe’s way of telling you to buy a nice car!”

“Well I found a nice car but you didn’t want to go with me.”

“I’m not driving with you to San Jose to look at a car.”

“Well that may be your only hope of getting me out of the Old Toyota loop. Don’t you love me?”

“... I’m not going to California, I’m not going to Florida, I’m not going to New Jersey, to look at a car.”

Levi’s 501 Stadium.

So your saying if you go alone your coming back with a car that has crabs?

No I said carbs! Now get in the car!

Pssh. How am I supposed to anticipate that?

For one get a car that’s impossible not to love.

(maybe some sort of small subaru hatchback)

That’s in Santa Clara (also terrible)

So, buy a car I have no interest in and hope I love it?

Well only a monster wouldn’t love it.

I think you might owe your wife some flowers or chocolates or something.

You’re still looking? Just get one of these and be done with it.

Be done with my life savings, you mean?

Well maybe, but just imagine how many great posts we’d all get to read!

Seriously though, have you thought about one of the last Saabs ever made? The 9/5 looks really nice. And 6M gearbox ...

9-5s are too nice and too expensive. I’d think I’d get a 9-3 combi instead because wagon, but even those push 20k with a manual.

I probably could afford something closer to that if I was willing to wait to buy in Spring and just put around in the pickup for a few months.

Buy the Tercel.

She just wants me to not die in a box of thin 80s Japanese steel.

I’m sure you can find something local that fits your desires.

And now you see how much I know about Californian geography.

I’ve never met you but I would almost consider driving out to Sequim for you to check out that Tercel. Almost.

Then go die in a box of ‘80s German steel!

I’m sure there are some e30s and e28s near you.

I wouldn’t. I’m an incredibly unpleasant person in real life! Can’t you tell

I suppose. How are you liking the Mazda?

I'll be siding with her on this one.

I haven’t driven it yet! Ha ha

She won’t relinquish the keys! We’re at the Ocean this weekend. I’ll drive it around here and probably home.

I would too, except in this case I am me.

I still say SHO, maybe she will change her mind on Tercels then.

My Brother-in-Law just flew from *Columbus* to San Francisco for a *British* car.

Spirit airways flights and a couple Uber/Lyfts would be maybe cheaper.

I’d like to believe my own shit - if you got that job tomorrow with a reverse commute, would you buy that Saab? We can afford a car up to about 30 grand or so if we needed one. But of course, we don’t. Still, what would I pull the trigger on if I got that dream job in White Plains?

I thought you should know, that I’m so disoriented, I’m going to look at something even more ridiculous and impractical tomorrow at a local dealership (after I confirm they’re actually open tomorrow) and you will be held responsible for the result.
