The Lair

totally not what you wanted, but i've almost bought a crz for a dd before several times: newer car that you can get for cheap, good on gas, come in manual. i know it's not awd but i used to drive a rwd car when i lived in upstate ny

Unsold.

I do that with the Taco.

Need a DD

 

I gotcha and totally makes sense. I might see if i can start running my old mans 98' Cherokee. Only 40k on it and can get me to and from and its free minus the gas.

 

OMG I was really looking into these! Sport hybrid! but I then looked into mods, and saw the rear has some weird setup, instead of a traditional rear.. it was something like a torsion bar

 

hmmmm....

 

if it had a back seat i'd have done it. but i have dogs that i need to have seat belted in

 

fuck I just did some rough guestimating for the first time on my mileage. This last year I tacked on an addtional 6-8k in mileage just due to new office location/employer.

 

yea you need a DD. I am getting 10mpg, because I dont have enough time on my 3 mile commute to work, to warm up engine..

130 miles to a tank on premium sucks.

 

OK. Even tho this just crossed my mind just 2 hours ago, I might actually do this mod.

I'm always leery of buying a used car in the NorthEast rust zone. I might be headed to St. Pete's Florida for the Christmas holidays. Maybe I can pick up my new old DD and drive it back to NY? It will not have been exposed to the ravaging affects of NE road salted winters.

What say you good 'ol wise peeps of The Lair?

*My wife just gave her input: Automatic is required. Sigh.

 

did @uurx get a 100 series?

 

3 mile commute?? dang that must be nice

 

can you get an automatic motorcycle?

 

i know this isn't true with every car, but i bought a car from florida once and won't do it again. every piece of plastic or rubber was baked

my territory stretches from hartford, ct to stratham, nh

 

i lied, i also have bennington, vt

 

I've kept my Motorcycle License endorsement for over 30 years.

My wife banned me from riding. Sigh.

 

But was it rust free?

 

wtf????? i wouldn't have married her
