You post what you/your family drive(s) or used to drive, (but no shitposting!) and I will leave a Regular Car Reviews-style comment about it. Example from another thread: So, I'm waiting!
Currently has a hole in the exhaust that's awaiting repairs... 2005 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew, 5 1/2' box, 2WD.
You're a soccer mom. You know two things about cars: first, minivans are good, second, Hondas are good. And look - there's a Honda minivan! --- Post updated --- We all know you don't need a truck. What's more, a truck isn't even good for you. You need a closed rear, you don't need 4WD. You'd be better off with an SUV, or a crossover, heck, even a minivan. But hey, TREUGHS ARE KEWL!!!
Your budget may be negative, but you still want a reliable car. Well, as reliable as it gets for the price. Logically, after inventing the car, the next thing is inventing the car crash. Right? Once,,these glorious yachts sailed the seas of Interstates, carrying middle-class families in royal comfort. Now, they're rolling through ghettos on three hubcaps, until they go to the junkyard. Or become somebody's home.
This car is like a TV presenter whose brother is a Hollywood actor. He is doing fine, he is doing great, he is doing all he can, but he is never gonna be his brother. Nth used Ford owners seem to be some of the creepiest people around. They think their cars will take care of themselves, so they keep rolling around in rotten, dirty, moldy cars with drivetrains running on borrowed time. Or, in case of diesels, running until rust snaps the damn things in half. Toyota Land Cruiser - the Rolls-Royce of places where just getting from A to B is a big victory over the brutal forces of nature. Because kids, listen: nature is quite a bitch. These cars are old-fashioned barges - but that's what a Midwestern septogenarian wants. He does not want high RPMs - he wants a drivetrain that will run for ages and be fixed for a hundred bucks. He does not want Bilstein - he wants an unshattered spine. And he quite likes the tape deck.
You described my Grandpa so accurately its almost creepy... He lives in the west. He loves Old Fashioned Barges. He likes Reliable engines that last forever. And he likes the tape deck. And also, he is 75. Wow...
