And I can't even drive it because it's a stick-shift . She rarely goes anywhere and it snows here six months out of the year so it has to be garaged most of the time anyway. Whyyy....

[Jinjonator]

I'll gladly have that car.

[Bottles98]

Whoa holy **** that looks awesome.

[Cooki-Cooki]

nice car...

your luck is awful.

[wkw427]

Well, atleast you can drive in style.. Or.. sit in there during a lightning storm...

Yeah, but that's all it's going to do is look awesome and rarely get used. She could have bought like... well anything else of equal value and it would have been more useful.

I'm not even sure what kid she kidnapped and ransomed to buy the car [or what bank she stole it from (or what lottery she won)]. She's been telling me about this big TV she has been saving to buy for years and then she just comes back one day, "Oh, by the way, I was window-shopping and... ." I expect to be eating out of a cardboard box next month when I discover that my rent and every other bill hasn't been paid.

While I know how to change my own oil, fix a flat, adjust tire pressure...just about anything that falls under the guise of general car maintenance, but I have never learned to drive stick and I kick myself for it. Which is especially painful since I'm slowly growing into the "omg cars" genetics my dad passed on to me. (My mom's side provided me with "<3 of Hondas")

Still, in this day and age, I don't know, that seems like a horrible investment. I mean I would love to drive it but my god it's not a terribly efficient vehicle to drive up north. At least it wasn't like, I dunno, an Explorer or a Hummer (feel free to insert any and all SUVs in there), but still.

I drive a Ford Escape... I guess this lack of car judgment runs deeper than I first thought .

[Tommy Walker]

Well, that sucks. They really do make some cars for the sole purpose of sitting there and looking awesome.

Dear God.

[donkey_kazooie]

so... why did she buy that? All i can think about is WHY?

[BanjoKazooieSNS]

You mother bought that... what the...?

You're joking right?

[Mag]

At least you can sit in it and look cool.

Isn't Stick Shift easy? I many times at age 10, 11 and so was allowed to drive so long as my dad was in the car and it wasn't that far, and the truck he had was stick shift. Now it's just an instinct for me, and I will actually be getting that truck when I'm 16 and able to drive. Is Stick Shift driving that hard?

EDIT: Although the car itself is badass.

Jeez... Mid-life crisis much?
