- B48 Mini Cooper S (2016+?)
- Mazda 3 GT, soul red
- Fiat 124, late NC, or early ND1 Miata
- JK or early JL wrangler
- 986/7 Boxster or Cayman, non-S
- or a Beetle

Beware the engine rebuilds that seem common on NC miata, early Pentastar V6, and S model Porsche.

NC engine issues are only on the 2007/08. But you'd want to swap in a 2.5 anyways. It's crazy how close it gets to a S2000.

appreciate the thorough review from owner perspective. I've just liked the iM hatch from afar as a point A to point B, fuel efficient, inexpensive, DD, practical compact.

I see what you did there.......

If you go with $25-30K range, the new 2025 Civic Hybrid is getting really positive reviews.

If you are considering $22-24K Elantra, I'd seriously give a used Prius Prime a look.

$10-!5K used ... I wonder if you can find a decent Toyota iM hatch or a decent low kms, Golf TSI

Pretty sure civic hybrids are $40-46K out the door, even base civics are close to $33-38K pre-tax.

Will check out the I3 + Prius Prime. Only concern is maintenance cost on the I3, most asians get spooked at even a $1K tyre bill

I’d honestly just go lease them a GTI. If they are still doing the same price as mine, that’s 500 bucks a month, zero down. It’s DSG only now….

Gerbs 05-30-2025 01:00 PM

They don't make RS money to justify $1k/month on a car.

- $560 Lease
- $250 Insurance
- $200 Gas


at 15% rule = $80K income, maybe you can justify, I think it's retarded

Almost anything new will end up costing around 1k a month if you throw in gas and insurance. :pokerface:

if they want something used, thats a lot of money upfront that they might need in case of emergencies.

Walking around in different neighborhoods the thing that always catches my eye is when people have vehicles sitting on a flat

Like as a car person or even just as not being a dirtball, just get the fucking tire off the ground bro

So a discount airline from Korea announced a new route today to Vancouver.

While playing around with the dates, found some one way flights from ICN to YVR with Air Canada that are coming up as $283 CAD.

Plug into Google Flights YVR to ICN with September 13 as the depart date.

Select any of the $831 dates. Go through to the checkout and you'll see the Air Canada ticket as $283 one way for economy with free seat selection.

Maybe these are finally deployed? https://i.insider.com/5adf6641bd9671...00&format=jpeg

Any Whitecaps fans? Disappointing CONCACAF Cup results, lost 5-0. Oh well, with new coach, this has been and continues to be a turn-around season. Lots of wins! Strong season and they're not finished yet!

Traum 06-02-2025 02:20 AM

Disappointing... 2 giveaways that led to 2 goals... I FailFish and stopped watching then.


Should have placed a big bet on Cruz Azul, but I didn't want to jinx our own team. I guess I should have taken the money instead...

I'm at a standing desk 6-8 hrs a day so i don't mind 2 hrs max but i gotta be able to at lesat stand and listen to pod cast.

RabidRat 06-02-2025 07:14 AM

Maybe they could have a row of seats that are time-share: people take turns getting to sit down, relax, watch a movie clip maybe eat a cracker. Then back to your standing pod!!

Let's just put wings on a Skytrain car.

And people want to become the 51st state.

Rip John Redcorn. A new season of King of the Hill is coming in August.

Insert obligatory gif of Indian guy with a solitary tear (yes I know that actor was a white guy!)

So he was gay and married. The neighbours killed his dog and burned down his house. He came back to check the mail and they chased him down and murdered him.'

There's a few different versions floating around, another one is they accidently burned down their own house trying to heat it with a BBQ.

Obviously not defending him getting shot but when the cops are at your house over 40 times since January 2024 you're probably not the model neighbor yourself and there's probably a lot more to this story than angry rednecks chasing down and killing someone cause they are gay.

Badhobz 06-02-2025 03:23 PM

^they just mad cuz he fucked dales wife and produce that little half breed.

Razor Ramon HG 06-02-2025 05:17 PM

Lol, that reminds me of the theory that Bobby is Peggy and Bill's kid.
