I’m going to download the uber app when I’m not on some miserably slow internet connection and do the math, because I’m curious if it’s cheaper or not.

Right now, worst case scenario is if I have to drive my Samurai to work. It gets ~20 mpg. With insurance and gas and maintainence put together I’m spending about $4.13 to drive to work for one day.

$1300 for 6 months of car insurance

Yikes. I pay $1400 for six months of car insurance on two cars, both of which have comp, collision, and uninsured motorist coverage.

I have plenty. And I’m not lonely. But when I try to defend lonely fellas online, you say things like “get a hobby”.

You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I’m talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.

I used to have a motorcycle that would give a couple of pops out of the exhaust if I closed the throttle too fast. I wonder how many Nextdoor conversations it started?

I have some chickens, I haven’t had to wait on eggs. I have had to give some to the neighbors though.

I’m reminded of Bender:

“This isn’t even about you”

“That’s impossible!”

Those are fine. The fucking cars are ok too, I’m just tired.

See? You are doing it. Be sure to dismiss this response as something coming from an incel, my other half thinks it’s funny.

Yes, but they do tend to get lumped together and dismissed the same.

Nah, lets just call all lonely men “incels” and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.

EDIT: Thanks for helping me prove the point, everyone.

Oh, perfect for that.

Speaking as someone who has suffered an original air cooled Beetle, they’re cool but I wouldn’t try to daily it. The lack of power steering would be far, far down your list of issues you will run into.

But for paralell parking a beetle specifically it can be a challenge, because reverse doesn’t work like you expect. You have to push the gear lever down, like straight down toward the ground, and hold it, to put it in reverse. So you have to steer with one hand and hold the shifter with the other.

I have this weird little vehicle from the 1980’s. I can best describe it as a Japanese Jeep. It wasn’t ever a “big” vehicle, but seeing it next to a modern truck is jarring.

The best part is, I know from direct repeated personal experience that the 60 horsepower 4wd can go more places than a typical 4wd truck.

EDIT: Also, the truck in this picture is a 2004-2008, a 2023 is even bigger…

Have you tried to buy a Maverick?

Yeah, I’d be a-okay with an fm radio and roll down windows in a compact hatchback, thanks. You people with your fancy cars. It’s all going to be trash with the flick of a firmware update.

Nobody makes fun of my wife’s little econobox anymore. 1.2 liter engine, 5 speed, and a radio.

“I’m going to business school!”

Something tells me stolen cars are shipped in bulk.

I love the bantam egg on top.

Were they able to keep up with modern traffic and go out to the suburbs and back?
