Yes I know how to drive a manual, I learned many years ago. I'm from the US and I'm 42.

Learned on an old beat up truck when I was like 20, I remember I got stuck stalling out on the highway once, I don't even remember how. I freaked out so bad. 8 years ago I had 2012 Mazdaspeed 3. I miss that car so so much.

You know what that's probably correct. I will look out for that going forward.

Yea I had an instance of this as well. "I totally agree to do this evil thing in your place, leave it up to me guys go have a drink on me" was a lie. I couldn't make up the disapproval from 2 other party members even when I saved the person afterwards.

That's still not luxury in this market. I priced one myself ended up at 48k. That's not luxury anymore in this market.

But I digress. I'm not a Tesla lover or anything just saying they're not luxury cars. I don't even have an EV yet and don't want a Tesla.

"suffering a bit less". Wow. Just unimaginable.

Exactly people say this but then not about Mazda. Every single Mazda has the same design scheme. There's nothing wrong with that, if it works for the company fine, but like, "oh they all look the same" is invalid as a complaint against them.

Tesla has many other things you can diss on them for.

So Tesla's have quality issues I agree with, Elon is an asshole I also agree with. But not all Tesla's are a Plaid. They start at $35k, the Y at 40k. They are most assuredly not luxury vehicles and I'm not sure why people keep thinking this.

If you have 20 kids and a great Dane I guess you're right. If you have 2 kids and a dog that's on you.

So wait. I am transporting one person, not taking up much space, obeying the rules of the road, don't have loud pipes nor speed, and you're telling me I'm selfish? When you literally just said you don't care about our pleasure?

I don't think it's us thats the selfish one here.

I love that this has become the hatchback and Yaris love thread. As a GTI owner it makes me happy. I do not want nor need to go any bigger. It's almost the perfect car.

At risk of angering the vast majority of the fuck cars community, it's generally because I live 30 minutes from my job by highway, and can't afford to live within walking distance. And they won't let us telework. I really really want to actually live close enough to bike.
