Nah. :gorf: would mean a :nuke: for both the :meata: and the trailcock.

I think :poorvette: once he decides on another fun car while keeping the trailcock.

Once the gayata is gone... give it 2 months... it'll be another longing for a "fun car" because the JGC is too boring.

I think I drove it to work once since Tennessee.

Hasn't moved otherwise. Parking situation at work is street parking, so that's a hard no. And I did a lot of pedaling this year. 3200 miles worth.

...I drove the :meata: 2300 miles in the last year. :math:
Shift in priorities. I don’t think you’ll miss the :meata: that much once you sell it.

Also, :impressive: pedaling mileage.

:notsure:

I thought once you go 2 car lyfe you never go back? The glamper + :truk: will stick around a bit. Longer than the usual :plac: cycle but not by much.

The only thing that breaks the cycle is a shift in priorities. Zil's been claiming that...I've recently experienced it but only time will tell.

If it weren't for the glampers I could see them going back to a fun daily.

The thing that :triggered: me is the claim that you can't have a fun car on the TERRIBLE US STREETS. That's just BS. People have epic cars in epic shit countries. They can handle it... There is no need for a :truk:

:fatty: lazy shit about not being inconvenienced to scan the road ahead etc. Also the claim that they are "fun" to DD is just plain :wrong: come at me.
They are the WORST DRIVING vehicles. Period, sure they can be quiet, and you can run over a leper, but :whocares: . So if you plan on just :aintcare: ing your way through life sure... but arguably

Acceleration
Steering feel/response
Brake feel/distance
G forces in corners
Sound
Looks

Are all key attributes to make a great "fun" car, none of which are accomplished on a :truk: not a single one, with the exception of perhaps a V8 powered behemoth with an aftermarket exhaust.
