My wife has a Subaru. I'd rather ride my skateboard than worm in and out of that car. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertnamehere Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 One of these two currently. Unfortunately, the trunk opening on the S4 isn't very big so it's a bit of a fight to get the Passau backpack bag in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxpower29 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I took mine in a 98 Viper last year just to see how much fun it would be and it wasn't. Still fit. I throw it in my 3500 work truck 4 door long box and drive. Very simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get one again in the future, it's very likely that it would be another C5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bildeer Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Behold, my combustion carriage, the 2008 Toyota Avalon (pictured next to a friend's seven) The Avalon was free, so I'll be driving it until the wheels fall off and when that happens, I will put the wheels back on and continue driving it. Purchased with 110k miles in 2013 and currently has 198,800 something miles and has taken me to nearly every single game and practice. I can even fit my nearly 6 foot long alpine snowboard in the back, it's pretty neat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided I would have to get one one of these days, there's nothing else like it! They're even more fun to work on because you can take 99% of the car apart with a 8, 10, 12,14, and 20mm socket. 320 WHP at just a hair over 2700lbs is crazy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiancee's civic is the same too. I know my dad has vented his frustrations on his F350 as he has to carry both metric and imperial tools to do almost anything.

Until they stop popping up/down. I had an 80-something Firebird and the lights just stayed up permanently. Or if I had a date or wanted to look cool, I'd hand crank them up/down. I guess you could always buy a new relay, but that depends on how much money you have and what your priorities are Edited May 18, 2021 by estogoalie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense, everything divided by 10. I mean 3/64", how the fk do you measure that? I'm looking at a ruler (inches) right now and it makes no sense. There's only 16 notches per inch. I have to imagine 4 more spaces in between those notches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're gonna love it, are you getting the old body style or the new '21? I have 2 child's seats in the back so I don't want to mess with them.
