Yes I know how to drive a manual, I learned many years ago. I’m from the US and I’m 42.

Learned on an old beat up truck when I was like 20, I remember I got stuck stalling out on the highway once, I don’t even remember how. I freaked out so bad. 8 years ago I had 2012 Mazdaspeed 3. I miss that car so so much.

You know what that’s probably correct. I will look out for that going forward.

Yea I had an instance of this as well. “I totally agree to do this evil thing in your place, leave it up to me guys go have a drink on me” was a lie. I couldn’t make up the disapproval from 2 other party members even when I saved the person afterwards.

I hated this too and I saw on a YT video that if anybody says anything about a trap you can right click the mouse and the entire party will stop moving instantly. It’s not a great solution but it has helped immensely after I learned about it.

I specifically used it as an agro tool also 😭

SLOPPEH

This would make a great book

That’s still not luxury in this market. I priced one myself ended up at 48k. That’s not luxury anymore in this market.

But I digress. I’m not a Tesla lover or anything just saying they’re not luxury cars. I don’t even have an EV yet and don’t want a Tesla.

“suffering a bit less”. Wow. Just unimaginable.

I lived in snowy af Ohio for 8 years with a Kia Sephia. I was poorer than now then and couldn’t afford snow tires yet I made it just fine. I’d always see trucks and SUVs driving crazy fast down the highway, and saw 2 crash right in front of me.

I’m with you, people do not need SUVs for the snow.

Exactly people say this but then not about Mazda. Every single Mazda has the same design scheme. There’s nothing wrong with that, if it works for the company fine, but like, “oh they all look the same” is invalid as a complaint against them.

Tesla has many other things you can diss on them for.

So Tesla’s have quality issues I agree with, Elon is an asshole I also agree with. But not all Tesla’s are a Plaid. They start at $35k, the Y at 40k. They are most assuredly not luxury vehicles and I’m not sure why people keep thinking this.

If you have 20 kids and a great Dane I guess you’re right. If you have 2 kids and a dog that’s on you.

So wait. I am transporting one person, not taking up much space, obeying the rules of the road, don’t have loud pipes nor speed, and you’re telling me I’m selfish? When you literally just said you don’t care about our pleasure?

I don’t think it’s us thats the selfish one here.

I love that this has become the hatchback and Yaris love thread. As a GTI owner it makes me happy. I do not want nor need to go any bigger. It’s almost the perfect car.

So the fact that this person clearly has researched said subject enough to get a degree in it to know what they’re talking about vs some dude who is quite possibly pulling bullshit out his ass doesn’t allow for said learned person to tell said non-learned person they are an idiot?

Because sometimes I think it kinda does.

At risk of angering the vast majority of the fuck cars community, it’s generally because I live 30 minutes from my job by highway, and can’t afford to live within walking distance. And they won’t let us telework. I really really want to actually live close enough to bike.

Wow what a memory unlock. I remember when we got tree, I used to run around as a tree and stand in Org telling people I was doing tree things.

This made me think of Howard the Duck the movie and now I’m upset that I made the link between the two. I’m going to have to watch the movie again to clear my mind of such atrocity.
