Bring back small vehicles!

As the ponytailed dude in the Prelude in the Panera drive-thru, hell yeah.

Small cars with fizzy engines are the best for suburban life. I love piddling around town in my little car. It makes driving fun again.

Small trucks like the Brat were so useful when you just wanted a 2 seater that could move around dirty stuff that you wouldn't want inside a hatchback. All of the compacts have grown to midsized, and midsized is getting pretty big, and the newer compact trucks are on the cheap end.

Hatchbacks are nice, but you can't put wet mulch or rotten wood in the back without it stinking up the cabin for months and you can't hose it out when you are done.

My sister had one in the late 90s. If only we knew…

Sweet AW11! Before I bought my current car (a 2016 Honda Accord) I was on the hunt for an affordable SW20.

Officially, I lost the bidding on one by only $750, although I know that one bidder would have kept going if I elected to outbid him/her. I wonder where that '91 Crimson Red example is now...

Mr 2 has been a staple of "slow car driven fast" for decades. Really fun vehicle

My roommate used to have a white MR2 with removable T Tops. That thing was bad ass.

Not the same car, but it makes me want to rewatch Initial D

Man I really want to import one of these

Maybe I'm the odd one out but I do not find that car very appealing.

[–] JustZ 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's okay. Factually incorrect but okay.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Incorrect that I'm the odd one out or incorrect that I don't find the car appealing?

[–] JustZ 1 points 1 year ago

Incorrect that you don't find them appealing (you do).

It's all good man. You're entitled to your taste, even if the rest of us don't agree with it. Doesn't make it incorrect. There's only two kinds of things in this world: the shit you like and the shit you don't like.
