I already thought about that. However, I can't find one that doesn't have a fucking rainbow sticker on the rear windshield.
I bought a new car (the "I wanna be like Gugs" thread)...

In all honesty, my very first car was a 1986 Subaru XT and that fucker was the worst experience I have ever had with car trouble. What a lemon. After that dump, Subaru has forever been tainted in my mind.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
Fo' realz I don't know how any of you fuckers in snowville live without AWD at the least. 2WD is bullshit even in California. There was a dude I used to live nearby, he had a burgundy 4WD Tacoma with the license plate BAN 2WD. I was driving a burgundy 2WD Tacoma at the time, and could not have agreed with him more.
Why wasn't I informed to check the gas periodically? Had I done so, I wouldn't have had to walk home.

He probably watched these videos and killed himself shortly thereafter
He's pretending to listen to music again. I find it awkward and unsettling.
The 2000s is more or less where Subaru's quality improved while other Japanese brands slipped. I can see how having a horrific experience of a brand would make them off limits forever though.

Are you saying that Honda and Toyota slipped have slipped? Those early-mid 90's Toyotas and Hondas were ridiculously "over-engineered" and were fucking bulletproof. I'll give you that.
Maybe I'll just dump the near 2k worth of small repairs that I need to do on my car and keep the fucker cuz that engine will MOST DEFINITELY outlive my ass. It also only has 145k on it. That engine is fucking MINT!!! Best car I have ever owned hence my Accord fanaticism. The other was my 1986 Toyota Celica. The only reason I lost that one was due to blowing a flat on the highway in Providence after a drunken night at the club, left it there, came back the next day to find it completely torn apart by some thugs.
Oh, my 1991 Tercel ruled too. I rolled that bitch over though.
This is the first time in my life where I have the luxury of not being desperate for a vehicle and can cherry pick shit, haggle, and walk the fuck out if my demands aren't met. It's nice.

haha yeah I remember Ken's Subaru XT stories. I can't say my 2005 Outback was a bastion of reliability (the goddam AWD system broke) but they are generally pretty good and have some of the most absurd resale values of any brand. So...uhh...don't buy a used one. Or something.

If I buy that Accord up there, I'm gonna own it for 15 years and run it til the wheels fall off or completely total that bitch; whichever comes first.

Toyota definitely aren't what they used be. They were the only brand I gave a shit about for my first several years of driving, but they became this hideous bloated monster of everything wrong with American Things. They specialize in large, stupid, and bland automobiles. And now, less reliable. Fuck off!
Honda I'm not sure. We drove a few Civics and they weren't nearly nice as the Mazdas, so that's what we ended up with. But I get the sense that Honda still gives a shit, in some ways. My buddy's 2005 RSX is still going strong with 200k miles, just needs motor mounts now and then. Me ma's 1988 Accord needs a new water pump once a decade, otherwise virtually flawless.
Subaru rules. I still miss my WRX, even though the god damn thing fell apart at 92k miles. Worth EVERY penny and headache, even that time I got stranded out in fucking Coachella (the city, not the festival... huge difference) to the tune of $500 for a new alternator. If I go back to owning a car, it will be a Subaru.
Wait, what am I even saying?! BUY AMERICAN, FAGGOT.
Mopar or no car!

hhahaha! The alternator on my Outback gave out, too. I'm sure it was the exact same model.
I try hard to love Dodge and Ram and Chrysler....but goddam it, only rednecks drive that shit. Jeep is a different story....I just can't justify the price of entry.
My Sienna is a huge monster beast with ultra bland everything, but never breaks.

The good thing about Wranglers is that they have ridiculous resale value. Mine is still nearly worth its sticker price at 3 years old, so if I said "fuckit" I could ditch it easily. All other Jeeps make up for that anomaly by becoming $1,200 cars in 3 years (or less).
Either way, your Sienna has captain's chairs. Those things make EXISTENCE better. I hope that every time you drive it, every fucking time, you make a Star Trek reference.

Yeah, every time I look at new Jeeps, I go, "fuck that! I'll just get a used one!". So I check out Carmax and go, "I'll just keep my Volvo"

Browser shopping makes me spend less money, I've done that same thing many times. But if I go to a store/lot/REI I'll say "well, I already put on pants, might as well get this thing I don't need."Car payments take up 8% of my monthly income. That's a small price to pay for two reliable personal transportation boxes, especially given how much we both drive. Cuz, you know, even in scudburbia, it's all LA Story.

It would be nice if my Volvo was paid off because 1) it's worthess and 2) it now has, in addition to hail and deer damage, TURKEY damage
It's so annoying to be paying on that vehicle that I spend a considerable amount of time deciding if it might be more worth it to simply add another $150 or so to what I pay for it each month and have a BRAND NEW FUCKING CAR
