Bobby's used car lot and Free Carfax

[gravitylover]

Heh. This one is gonna be mostly a work car but because I'll spend 40 or more hours a week in it has to keep me entertained. I put so many miles on and even basic shit is too expensiveb so a manufacturer 10/100 warranty is critical. I still have the POS for all the quirkiness I can swallow.

A Mazda diesel would be good. Otherwise get an Alltrack and save a few pennies here and there for potential repairs. We get ~35mpg hwy and its fun to drive; very very solid with Blizzaks.

But I do also completely vote for the Citreon, Jag or high-mileage Range

There's not much out there with a bumper to bumper 10/100 warranty. Most 10/100 warranties are just for power train. The rest of the vehicle is up to you.

Also, keeping it French.....

Renault Avantime?

I think gravity's more of a Xsara Picasso man.

Not ugly enough.

Fiat Multipla?

If Gravity absolutely will not consider that completely reasonable Jaaaaaaagwagon then I'm going to have to get sensible and suggest any wagon on this best used for 2024 list:

That, or don't.

That looks like some sort of bastard child from a hate fuck and poopenhausen.

The French and Italian stuff is not even domestic. A Vinfast makes more sense.

Vanderhall Santarosa GTS?




Brawley?

[BmillsSkier]

El Camino?

Pinto?

Volvo 240?

so, you need something fun ta drive with good mileage, capability to drive in teh upstates all weathers and a high towing capacity…


teh answer is obvious…














fact.

Kia Borrego.

So good, they only produced it for one year.

[gravitylover]

Kia/Hyundai has potential but the insurance on our Kona is outrageous because of the easy-to-steal thing. Even though it has the updates it's still double what our R Design Volvo is and when I get the Benz it'll be less than the Kona. Fukn Kia Boyz bullshit.

M27, I think those would be great but not at 1500 miles a week. Too slow, some parts are getting tough, and they're too slow for a lot of the modern traffic shit I have to deal with. I know you love em but I need something newer, quicker and that'll give me a fighting chance to walk away from the crash that some inattentive genius in a F150 can dish out.

[J. Barron DeJong]

I don’t think the guys suggesting 4Runners or GX470s know what ‘fun to drive’ means…

[BmillsSkier]

Subaru Justy.

Guaranteed to put a smile on your face so big they won't be able to slap it off.

[gravitylover]

Haha. Look at that, it already did.

[gravitylover]

If it makes y'all feel any better I did look at a really nice, low mile supercharged AWD Previa a few days ago.

Illegal smile.

C’mon man!

[abraham]

That'll look real good sitting in traffic with the 2" hitch option.

[J. Barron DeJong]

Heh.

Just pointing out that the pic doesn’t show a ‘92 McLaren. There’s a 30 year and $30M difference between those two cars.

[BmillsSkier]

If I were automotive-czar for a day I'd bring back a modern Previa, among other things of course, but that would make the list for sure.

I prefer the van that was the Previa precursor. Which I believe had a 4WD option. I like those mid 80s stylings. Toyota Tercel 4WD SR5 wagon would of course be on the list.

[El Chupacabra]

I didn't make the image - but it's popcorn time watching the Want (must be fun to drive over all other considerations) vs Need (must be reliable with good MPG) play out.

The most practical suggestion I have is a hybrid AWD Toyota in whatever size holds enough of Gravity's stuff - somewhere in the spectrum of Prius to RAV4 to Highlander to Sienna - there has to be something.

But we've been down this road before, and the Want is gonna prevail as usual, so I foresee the purchase of another old Range Rover or hybrid Jaguar or rebuilt title Maserati or something.
