They are all "smooth and silky" which is an issue when you are actually trying to get on the car. Widely spaced gears and slow shifting... yay welcome to the 90s. They will all be dated on the inside, but look at that car with 160k miles... no rips in the seats, no saggy headliner etc. They are screwed together well... but yea Iphone wasn't around yet, so no angry birds will driving on the center screen.
I'd rather have a 4Runner I think.
An SUV is a great utility knife, while gas is cheap it makes the most sense. You can do anything with a 4 runner other than have fun while driving. But it'll get you great places, move all your shit and tow everything you want to tow and it won't break down.

That's the idea. And I mean I can't exactly have fun while driving in this city anyways. My fun car has 5500 miles on it after 16 months.

I think you should just turo when you want to have fun. When I used to park the C5 for weeks I would average 4500-5000 for the last couple of years. I sold it because I simply wasn't driving it...
I think I'd forget what it is like to drive a car if I drove that little :hubba: :lol:

I'm selling this Miata because I just bought what I eventually wanted to turn this into - a fender-flared K20A2 swapped orange thing:
Seems like all car guys are cut from the same cloth.

MIATA or bust
Orange or bust
:manuel: or bust
RACING IS LYFE

Seems like it.

I really just want an Orange :manuel: Corvette. So I'm not all the way there. I'm also not really carguylyfe. There's other things I'd rather do that spend Saturdays standing in a parking lot or weekends standing in a pit lane.

31k for a pretty nice STI with sub 20k miles
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/ctd/d/ ... 55955.html
28k for someones STI that actually drove it.. now why would anyone not pay an extra 3k for 2 model years and 20k miles is beyond me

"The car does have a rebuilt title due to a minor front end collision prior to ownership."

How can a "minor front end collision" total a car? :derp: sellers.

Still, if you were buying a "forever" car and DGAF about the title, this would be a :notbad: buy.

I love the "only the bumper was replaced" salvage claims on vehicles worth 30-50k. I don't believe em for a second. I have seen major shit like leaky windshields, odd noises, fake parts.
