got an 06 land rover thats supposed to bw my daily and an 11 transit as a work van, but i end up driving the transit most of the time. its just so comfy driving van's, better than suv, wagon or sedan. you sit high up and feel that you rule the road and with a tune said transit kinda does, im definetly not the slowest guy on the road. if i am im so wide you wont get passed me unless i let you.

>its just so comfy driving van'
as someone who drives the big transit and fiat ducato at work, I dislike driving them.
Hate upright sitting position
despise that there is no room for my legs and that seats are limited in articulation.
but hey more power to you
is it the big transit or the smaller ones?

'99 MX-5 5-spd
Just got it last month. $4,000 at 130k miles no rust.
Replaced the top for $1,600 because the window was held on with duct tape, so let's say $5,600.
It's a damn good car, redlines all day. :)

2008 Honda fit sport
Paid I think $6800 with 75k ish miles, probably around 7 or 8 years ago?
At 130k now and I have cushy remote software dev job too so I'm hoping to keep eternally. Things the perfect DD, had a few different ones b4 it notably an acura RSX which, at low speeds, the fit feels identical to. High speeds, no, but its a DD and much more practical with tons of space in.the back.

It's pretty good. I recommend it unless you're a manual absolutist because it is comfortable and pretty fast, but the sound is the the best part of it. I wish it were available with a manual but since my fun cars are manual I am ok with it.

Hank had 2 trucks.
One was a base model stick shift, no options truck.
Then when he got stuck on the train tracks and totalled it he begrudgingly got a second truck in order to save Bobby after he ran off after an argument.
The second truck was a fully sped automatic. I think both were ford rangers,

i daily grandma's 2019 equinox, didn't have to pay for it, mounted a cassette headunit to the dashboard with a CD changer in the back so I could have a proper radio instead of the world's shittiest bluetooth
It has the 2L turbo and the 9 speed so it's way faster than either of my V8 barges, and it's been dead reliable, the AWD has yet to leave me stuck in the snow either, tows my harbor freight trailer just fine, but it's just soooo booorrriiinngggg

2003 Park Avenue, about $1400 per year to insure, about $700 per year to fuel and repair. Pretty light load compared to what my younger sister pays for her hideously expensive and shit engineered Jeep Commander. She's retarded for abandoning the Accord platform. Even I get about 30 mpg at 60, 20 at around 90, 15 at 110.

Do you have a lot of accidents on your record or did you get comprehensive on a 23 year old boomer cruiser? I say that as a previous owner of an '01 Park Avenue, I used to pay $27 a month for state minimum as a then 27y male no previous claims/moving violations. The 3800 V6 was nuke proof as long as you replaced that shitter coolant elbow. Too bad I smoked a deer with it at 85 mph and totaled it out.
Now I daily a 99 suburban with almost 400k miles. Paid $700 for it a year ago.

None. I've been driving since 1982 in all sorts or cars. and never been in so much as a fender-bender. As for the 3800, that plastic intake manifold gasket was its only weak point, solved by 2003. My car is about 23, and on level roads I can hardly tell the difference between 70 and 90, -10F and +110F with the climate control engaged.

2016 GTI. Don't remember how much I paid, but it was well under $30k. The salesman kept dropping the price. He even told me that the 2017s were on the way so they were desperate to get it out the door and no one coming in knew how to drive a stick. It was a completely one sided negotiation that I didn't participate in, but it worked 100% in my favor. He was new.

Used to have a twingo. Now I have one of these.
Just did my first oil change on it yesterday. I took a beating from it. The Mii is much lower to the ground than the twingo which i was able to do an oil change without even jacking the car up.
Well I had to learn where the jack goes, where the stands can go. The sump plug was on like a motherfucker and after struggling an hour with it I remembered I had a half inch drive foot long torque wrench from Lidl. It got the the sump plug off but not before I had already taken a beating by the asphalt. Then the oil went all over because my diy container was shit and the filter removal tool I got was shit as well because I had no clearance.
But I got it done and learned from it, Now I know I need two more tools to be able to do it without any issues.

That's how it goes. I liked my Z3 Coupe so much I bought a roadster.

replaced few bushings just as i bought it. did nothing else besides some cosmetic/minor stuff like trunk rubber button replacement (old one literally disintegrated from heat) and AUX port replacement, because it was all wobbly and after constatnt plug/unplug and audio didnt work properly. also changed battery ventilation tubes to PVC garden hoses, because OEM black rubber made my whole interior stink like horse stable and after doing the job it still smells like that if car sits under direct sun in hot weather.

Yep. Hail destroys entire fleets of cars every 4-6 years here so the insurance premiums reflect that. This also means that a quarter of the drivers here drive uninsured or underinsured, so that also drives rates up.
I feel young again in a bad way when I see the bill.

$200 1998 vers 6 imp coupe
i think ive put around 65k miles on it since i bought it in 2018ish. it was going to get scrapped so i bought it just to resell the 4 piston calipers and wing, but it turned out to be a great car overall.
bought a spare crashed wrx too just to keep a spare engine + trans on deck, but this thing just keeps on trooping
