  • You know you're getting old when.......

    ......you get excited about getting a new car.....and it's a NEW CAR! Getting in my DD is as uneventful as putting on my shoes. Yet I got a little excited yesterday when I got rid of the Toyota and got this. I'm doomed. What the Hell have I become?

        I'm old but I'm not there yet, I'll still sacrifice fuel mileage for something fun to drive but then I haven't bought anything new since my 1973 Chevy Truck either!

                  I have a DD thats decent on gas, at least it's turbo charged though, so it's not entirely boring. I justify it by telling myself its good to run for parts or go check on craigslist finds.

                    Rarely I say this but on occasion it feels pretty good, so what is it?

                      Can't even tell WTF it is other than a car of some sort..
                      Don't worry... When you start BRAGGING about it is when you DO worry...

                        Yeah if Groucho ever starts bragging about it that's when it's really time to worry! I liked your answer Monk, maybe one of his "Rentals" insisted that he trade for that car?

                          No idea what it is. Tempting to want to pull your car guy card but your pretty heavily weighted in hod rods / muscle cars. I'm thinking a little beamer would have been better or a WRX but I know that is cheaper than the latter. I'm 51 now. Our dailies are basically 2 S15 Jimmies, ( ones a Bravada ) then there is the *7 GTA and a 91 305 5speed camaro RS. I will admitt it is more fun driving a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

                            I'm with bob.

                            wtf is that?

                            a hyundoaie? mr borschy? hounder cheevic? toyta?

                            I'll never get anew little one, its actually the sideways engine thing.. don't care what it is. Never getting one. I did memirize the sight of the 80s subarus for obvious reason..about all. I even confused BRZ for something euro or american.

                              I'm with Casper on this one. I genuinely don't know which appliance that is.

                              But appliances are useful for A-B transportation, which I guess is the purpose of this one. Maybe a tuner chip and a fart can - and we'd have to come over and demand your man card!
