Let's talk about cars and what cars we like and hate. I really want a new car but then again, I hardly drive the one I've got; but otoh maybe I would drive a new car more, if it were more enjoyable? I spend most of my waking hours thinking about death and what it would be like to not exist ha ha.. Anyway what is a good car to have and drive, if you're a poor idiot retard? I've been thinking about buying a renault kadjar:



or maybe a renault captur. Once, as a child, I found a baby bird that had fallen out of its nest and I tried to end its life by stepping on it but I didn't have the stomach to stomp with all my weight so I just sort of stepped a bit on it and made everything worse. The Renault captur is the little brother of the Renault Kadjar. I know some people say french cars are bad but I don't think so, necessarily.:


at one point I almost bought a SMART but I never got around to it:



Driving to Las Vegas in my mid twenties, I rented a Dodge Charger (2011) and it was a wonderful experience.I once called up an ex girlfriend of mine and told her that I never liked her dog and she didn't remember who I were nor did she remember our time together. I could probably not afford or justfiy owning a Dodge Charger though.



Once as a child my parents had a golden toyota and when I was like 4 I wanted to play superman and pretended that I could lift the car and I pulled so hard on the fender that it came off. My parents didn't yell at me and somewhere there's a picture of me standing in front of the garage in a mickey mouse sweater holding the fender. It's one of those one of those mid-eighties kinds of tinted pictures that make you feel a little sad whenever you look at them, like you're supposed to miss the person on the picture even if its you.

Any way, one fun car I've ridden recently was a Citroen C1 - now there's a smart little city bug that can get you from point A to point B and is a pleasure to park!



MY buddy ran over some old lady's foot in it and she screamed like hell and high water but no cops were nearby.

What are some other good cars you want, or have ridden?

Whatever you do don't get the tall clio with the 0.9 "engine". It is very thirsty (and gutless, obviously).

I briefly considered the clio for a littel while but i decided against it when I saw a woman I dislike drive one.

BMW is the greatest brand of cars I love my old 87 325i that I gave to my dad after the timing belt snapped and hosed the engine, it was his retirement project fun and he fixed the whole car up super nice and I get to drive it everytime I go visit my parents

Now I have a '99 323 which is also very nice but doesn't look quite as kicking rad as the 87.

Also toyota are real good for just commuting and poo poo cause milage is insane and runs very reliable

Here's a fun game: when you're on a road trip, take note of the grand ams and where you see them, you might notice a pattern

They're almost never on the freeway and are always numerous in back water towns like Pendleton or Boise

I have a car. Driving it to places means that I have to spend less time than I would if I were to walk or take a bus.

Edit: It also makes the range of places I can visit much larger.

If there's a non-ricey Subaru ahead of you you might as well just change lanes now. They're going to be doing ten under, sit at green lights, and roll to a stop in an attempt to let someone who is actually waiting for the bus to jaywalk across the road.

None of my cars are newer than 1974. Not because I planned that, but because I'm poor and stupid.

It's really fun to destroy these cars, though. Like just destroy them cover them in blood and brains. Drive them into the underground brick wall warehouses with guardian Pitbulls. These are the cars that make real life GTA a real video game.

If you're tired of walking and riding the bus, just commandeer a cop car instead. Think of it as ride sharing.

I like cars that are original and maintained. I like to buy inexpensive used cars that are well maintained and in original condition. Preferably Toyota and Lexus since they don't break down. I will never pay more than $5000 for a car. gently caress you if you don't take care of your care.

You know the way the police commandeer people's cars in films when there's an emergency? That should be allowed the other way round. "Excuse me, officer, I'm going to have to commandeer this vehicle. The comic book store is almost out of Free Comic Book Day comics, and I'm not missing out this year. Now move over and show me how to turn the siren on."

I call my subaru the Battle Wagon and we go hiking and offroading and fishing together. I think it's love and i have no real reason to form any other meaningful relationships so i will likely spend the rest of my life alone but its okay because I hope to die quite soon and also I can sleep in the Battle Wagon and i turn the seat heter on when I have cramps (heh heh sorry boys TMI right??? :) ) anyways thanks for reading, have a great day!

You can't go wrong with a black Deuce Coupe, but really you don't get into class unless it's a black '49 Mercury
