Posted by JonseredI have a 1975 Volvo 242 that gets within 2 MPG of this 2006 HHR, while weighing a shit tonne more, and being capable of driving directly THROUGH said HHR. |
Posted by Jonsered She does have a boyfriend, big Tejas country boy who won't even ride in her turquoise HHR, much less drive it. I'm already back in NM, but I shit you not Sam, piece about 8x11 just ripped loose and hanging by the top flap. Stretch marks around the edges like it had been happening for awhile. Funny this conversation would happen today. Just got a text from my Dad that the electric eye on his new Trailblazer that senses day or night has quit, nd his dash panel is on night and he can't see anything. My newest car is a 1988, (though I do have a 96 Ninja) and all my shit runs perfectly. |
Posted by MeoW This made me laugh so hard! I learned to drive in a 244 only thing I remember about that car was was it being built like a tank! Never had any issues with it either! The power steering bracket broke twice, so I had a local shop weld it back together for something like $15 hahaha |
Posted by bandi I basically daily drive a 44 year old Beetle. It's bulletproof. The secondary daily driver is a '99 Diesel Beetle (So still fully mechanical diesel injection) with 650,000 km on it and it hasn't let me down yet. So although "modern", it's miled right the hell out. |
Posted by Ricky_from_TV The beetle is brutally simple - You can fix it with parts from a variety store. |
Posted by Samurai but does that make it good? |
Posted by bandi Yes. Because I haven't needed any variety store parts for it yet in almost 3 years of ownership. I like the modern car driving experience, but nothing puts a smile on my face more than an aircooled VW, and when people ask me what my dream car is, I tell them I already own it. |
Posted by bandi 1991 Cavalier RS 2 door. |
