Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car.

Whatchya driving, do you like it, and why?

2004 Ford Escape

The car is a piece of shit. It’s falling apart on the inside and in general is probably getting close to death. Cost 5k like 5 years ago, so I’m not too worried.

I’m waiting to pay off my student loans before I commit to a new car payment. But there’s a 70’s RX-7 for sale near me that’s ~6k and I want a project.

Well, mine is a very light, all-terrain vehicle with little maintenance and minimal expenses. It has only two wheels and many speeds of which I only use three on a good day. The only thing I'd change about it is the protection I get from other drivers who are sometimes a little too distracted in their metal-enclosed mobile living rooms.

'19 Civic coupe. My 3rd Civic since 2011.

Decent enough mpg. Zippy. Fun to drive. Fits in tight city spots.

I've upgraded speakers and amp. I'm also very dark tint.

I'm contemplating a full upgrade to the lights. LED for front & rear. I'd like to add one of those under rear bumper high-viz red lights that are good during inclement weather.
