that green supra is craaaazy
Strongs Focus 1 vibes in this (C88) one:
Iâd drive the hell out of a simple affordable small car with a 5 speed manual.
Not really something thatâs easy to find anymore in the states at least :\
the Fiat 500 driver has entered the chat
well, some Fiat 500s in the states were full manual transmission
Yeah! Discontinued, unfortunately
yeah, in NYC there are a LOT of Fiat 500s for whatever reason (i could take a guess, but i wonât), but i know it didnât sell so well, elsewhere. and probably manuals, especially. i feel like most MT perverts around here are usually into racing cars
although there is someone in my neighborhood with a neon yellow Suzuki Samurai that i covet
I would think the smallest car possible is insanely good for street parking and general zipping around if you have to have a car in NYC.
I had a 5 speed manual 2011 Mazda 2 that I adored, but I traded it in two years ago for a newer car (also a manual, but not as simple nor as practical ).
I would get the 500e if it ever became as affordable as a car like that should be.
I also look at used 500 Abarths from time to time when Iâm feeling that goofy impulse.
yeah! lot of Abarths around here, too. agreed that the idea of a sporty, quick-footed 500 is a goofy yet endearing concept.
and yea, i think the 500e looks really lovely, but the biggest challenge here would be âhow do i charge it?â
my 500 is a 2012, but it only has about 46k miles on it, so it is basically still kind of a new car, and thatâs why i will probably keep driving it for another 10 years.
in this way iâm glad i donât own a home, because i would probably be tempted to get another car like a Miata or something
this is more or less exactly why I just got a motorcycle as a second vehicle, because itâs a lot cheaper than a miata, arguably more practical, and it felt less wasteful than a second car
motorcycles are neat, but i donât really think iâm cut out for motorized-bicycle things. when i rode a Vespa for the first time in my life in Sicily, i crashed into a parked bus and broke my wrist within 10 minutes lmao
also i donât think my wife would like it, and i donât want one enough to have that argument. but i hear what you mean!
look into these eyes and tell that Miata you want a motorcycle instead, because itâs more sensible, cheaper, more practicalâŚ
⌠youâd have to be a monster to do so.
