wtf $1200 for a company car. Jealous.

Also dude why you need a minivan, you have a secret second family somewhere??

To support his Costco addiction!

i love vans man. Especially luxury vans. I really want that lexus LM but since they wont bring it here, i might have to retrofit my sienna to make it semi LM like.

Plus i can empty it, throw in a mattress and a cassette toliet and drive it to calgary to see 69stylez (will empty cassette toilet at his house).

That sounds about right, I used to get 1k USD + insurance.
Tolls and gas weren't included.

Badhobz 10-09-2025 12:11 PM

we used to get insurance.. i was able to even claim snow tires before, but not anymore. and they havent increased this company car amount for 5+ years now. lame!!!

CN was the best. not only did i get a company car, but i got a fuel card (i wouldnt wanna pay for gas on a ford exploader) and they had fleet insurance for the car so i didnt even need to bother with insurance.... and since it was a CN car, any tickets you got went directly towards CN. I used to park it all over the place, didnt give a shit about tickets and it was all taken care of.

Driving that anemic sienna from sea level to calgary will be my nightmare. Rather stick with odyssey. Plus the sienna the seats dont go into the floor cause of the battery no?

youre talking about the rear seats? i dont know about the latest sienna, but the old ones folded into the floor. The 2nd row never did, but you could take them out easy enough.

Best seats for utility are those pacifica/caravan stow and go seats. you could fold them all into the floor but they were paper thin and uncomfortable for passengers.

That's no longer the case now... when even a Camry drives pretty sporty.

Those old Civics were so much fun to drive! EG / EK, and by extension Integras as well.

And something new cars can't hold a candle to against the old cars are -- the old cars are so light, and that makes them super agile. Never mind the fact that they are tin can death traps if you ever get into an accident, but new cars can't really replicate that.

With a $1200 allowance you should get a CT5-V Blackwing instead... right?? right??


well I spec'd one out to the tits and somehow built a 200K Cadillac wtf. I accidentally spec'd it with auto, but I somehow imagine you'd want a 10-speed auto over a manual anyway, with the 6.2L SC V8.

Hobz has too many reliable cars. You need some excitement in your life, come join us over here at bmw.

AstulzerRZD 10-09-2025 02:50 PM

Let's crowd fund a mirror for the guy

Look at yourself in the mirror and back to your Granturismo owning days dammit!! why the fuck are we looking at rattly minivans with a cooler lmao.

Just buy a cooler off amazon and put in whatever the fuck else you buy.

EvoFire 10-09-2025 03:26 PM

Keep in mind, it's a taxable benefit. 1200/m most likely means it's less than 600/m after deductions. I don't know if Hobz can write it off on his taxes, I'm going to guess no.

The Hitler box is realisitcally how much he can do without it coming out of pocket.

bcrdukes 10-09-2025 03:41 PM

Rich people don't pay taxes.

Badhobz 10-09-2025 03:46 PM

^correcto. at 500-600 bucks i dont have to pay squat. The rest is an extravagance i dont need or want.

I mean if i wanted speed, comfort and convertible the LC does that.
If i want novacane on wheels and have my soul ripped out of me while commuting, the camry does that very well.

That leaves an empty hole for shitboxes, weird things, and useless voids that really do not require filling. A minivan does it. Will I move things? fuck no. its just like i installed a $1200 trailer hitch for my wifes RX and havent used it a single time... i had the intention of towing a trailer, or a little crabbing boat... never happened.. dont think it'll happen now either. I wont carry people either because i hate fucking people. all these old geezers can go die, they arent coming in my MAXI VAN.

Im gonna fold down the rear seats, replace 2nd row with aliexpress sofa's, install a TV with and my firestick, and then game in the back of my van with my refrigerator filled with cool drinks and that vacuum attached to my dick.

So if you got a weird suggestion, something quirky, retarded, and insane. post it up.

I had looked even stranger things today.

F150 lightning (meh, not that cheap to lease, but also not that expensive... might be fun for 10 minutes but then hard to park in my downtown office)

Fiat500e - its so cheap why not buy 3 and crash 2 of them into biffanys house? whos biffany? A FUCKING REAL CUNTBAG thats who.

Polestar 3 at 655 a month. Go for Scandinavian weirdness.

68style 10-09-2025 03:58 PM

Oh he will have a Scandinavian pole star alright... in his van

Back in the golden era, it wasn't just Hondas that were fun. Off the top of my head, these were all the fun / cool cars from the era that weren't too expensive (when brand new):

Honda: Civic, Integra, Prelude, RSX
Toyota: Celica
Nissan: Sentra SE-R, 240SX
Mazda: 323 / Protege, Miata
Subaru: 2.5RS

Even the domestics had some fun stuff:

Ford: Escort GT (shared platform with 323 / Protege), Probe, Mustang
Chrysler: Neon
Chevrolet: Camaro

VW: Golf, Corrado

Bimmers start to get expensive, so I won't count them in.

Nowadays, the only affordable fun car I can think of are the GR86 / BRZ and Miata. Almost everything else became boring to drive.


Yup. You are right.

I thought about picking up a cheap Neon SRT-4 back then. Cheap fun with tons of potential. Always remembered the WRX vs SRT-4 commerical haha

Also 2001-2005 Nissan Sentra SER Spec V was also a fun little car that not many ppl knew about.

RIP V90 wagon. There's one T6 R-design locally in bursting blue metallic that's absolutely gorgeous.

They've also depreciated like rocks, if you want the looks of the RS6 for less than half the price.

whitev70r 10-09-2025 09:17 PM

I've always thought V90 was a tad big. I think V60 is the perfect long roof! Like this:

but then my bias is obvious ... whitev70r

roastpuff 10-09-2025 10:09 PM

V90 proportions are odd. V60 proportions are better IMO.

underscore 10-09-2025 10:11 PM

The cheapest thing you can get new is a Versa for $352/mo. That'd leave a lot for the AliExpress mod fund.

Badhobz 10-10-2025 07:42 AM

i was looking at the sentra with a manual transmission last night after you said versa. it might be good to reconnect with my younger self.

Might go get it wrapped in jewish racing gold, lower it, and then hang out at a KFC parking lot ready to pound a brown guy who steals my parking spot.

68style 10-10-2025 08:14 AM

Does pound still mean punch/beat up in this instance or is Badhobz of today ready to play for the other team?

Badhobz 10-10-2025 08:27 AM

thats gay.

trollface 10-10-2025 08:27 AM

It's only a taxable benefit if you get caught.

Lots of ppl i know drive around in "taxable" benefits cars lol
