- 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.

$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….

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.

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.

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!

Disappointing... 2 giveaways that led to 2 goals... I 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...

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!!

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.
