Impulse buys
I factored everything into owning it and how I would pay for it, but I was stupid and didn’t realize it ran premium when I bought it. Threw off my calculations
You can’t find a single one that’s similar to mine for less than $20k. Who knows? Maybe when there’s no zero mods/clean titles left it’ll hold solid. Or they’ll kill the platform. I seem to have a thing for dead marquees. RIP Oldsmobile
Super impractical works for me. And the FRS has held value much better than I suspected it would.

Never get the feel people look at those like, “I’m getting 200k miles worry free outta this”.
I couldn’t quite put my finger on it but that sums up what I was feeling driving it.

Yes, my same desire.

I’m only at 37k miles. But gas is going to get expensive.

My dream of next car being electric, probably not gonna happen. My Accord just crested 100k, so the doubt may start creeping. Plus, I’m gonna be driving back and forth to VA a lot...

What I’m trying to say here, I can see talking myself into the new Civic when it comes out. Definitely don’t want to go smaller, but it 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻may be the only thing left with a manual (Manuel?).

It’s either that or a bare bones Subaru, which holds zero interest to me.
And I missed hearing the chirp of the rev light.
It was the TDI. Super practical commuter car. I had to shift like 60% less. And everything was mushy/quiet.
