MB's with less than 11k miles have good trade values so it'll get me into something I want and need so I can put the POS, aka the grey blob, in the driveway except for when it's really needed. The primary goal is 30+ mpg with AWD, and it has to be fun enough to drive that I don't mind doing 500+ mile days and reliable enough that I can do 1500 miles a week working this year and it CAN'T BE a Subaru because - Fuck Subaru.
I've heard nothing but good things about those Mazda 3 hatches. Good luck GL.
Does anyone know if you can fit 190cm skis inside a Rav4 with one side of the rear bench folded down?
I think yes, on the current body style ones. If you want, I'll test fit and see. Mrs C has a 2021.Quote:

Attachment 489205
so fucking short, they give you the inches instead of the feet to try to make it sound bigger.
fact.
These are 191 Volkl Katana. Fit with room to spare, front passenger seat was left in a normal legroom position, not slid or tilted forward. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...28b3443c50.jpgQuote:

Just don't brake hard or they'll end up in the nav screen.
That's what I'm trying to be prepared against. The Rav4 (or similar) is what was reserved, and what I'll probably end up with is the same 4 door Wrangler I always seem to be given which I know they'll fit in.Quote:

fact.
^ My first car was a ‘60 veedub with a 1200 cc/36 raging horses. Fabric sunroof, kick valve for gas reserve instead of a fuel gauge, 6v electric…and a surfboard rack on top that took a good 5-10 mph off the top speed. Rocked my high school years, but it didn’t rally well.
Guys. Bobby was last seen in FL, you think there's a chance he's left the exotic car world behind and is now selling golf carts? Looks like a good business.

@MS that gives me an idea, I think we need a 'What was your first car?' thread. Mine was an 81 Datsun 200SX 5spd hatch. I'd love to find one now and build it the way I should've back then.
1990 Plymouth Laser RSQuote:
