To answer questions:

- can’t do a motorcycle. I’d kill myself in a week. I know too many friends who have seriously hurt themselves on them so it’s a self imposed rule to preserve my life. I’ll do anything with 4 wheels though. Exocet commuting to work in heavy traffic is fair game.

- Jokes are 100% fair game. I was upset the night she broke the news, been fine since. Went over and told my parents the next day “at least it wasn’t a dude with a bigger :alpo::D that was months ago. Sex life wasn’t exactly great leading up to it obviously. Also, I work in the Pharma industry. I’m surrounded by good looking young girls all day. I’ll be just fine.

- Friend wasn’t remotely attractive. Hard pass.

- Of course I got pictures.

- not sure what the dolphin means...but yeah, let’s go with it.


Civic hatch is a lot of car for the money, but yeah, 4 speakers and no keyless is rough. If Type R had AWD, would definitely be in the running. I want to see a 2.5T Mazda3 too.

Genesis R spec was giant and fast. The issue: Hyundai sucks at vehicle dynamics. Shocks were god awful, it drove like a pig on roller skates. Camber curve was non existent. Ride simultaneously rode like shit and handled even worse. Next gen they brought lotus in to consult for the genesis, but It still wasn’t great. Motor was awesome though.

Sad, but true. Probably not worth it. Newer mini's just have the 2.0 4-cylinder from the 3-series right?

It's cheap because you'll spend money on repairs/maintenance.

Actually, how cheap are new Minis going for now? They don't sell at all really.

A Mini Pooper Clubman S All4 with a stick? In some ultra Jalopy color scheme? British Racing Green, Burgundy interior. Something wild like that would be cool.

Over $40k.

You'll probably want at least the Signature trim which starts at $35k and then a couple options puts you in the $40k range...

They don't sell because gas is cheap and no one wants an unreliable british/german turd for 35-50k

That's depressing. They depreciate like a rock though. You can find 1 year old, with 10k miles for like $10k+ off. But then you're stuck with somebody else's terrible configuration.
