RE: Lifting the lid: A look into my centre console

in Weekend Experiences2 years ago

Yep, globes are handy to have...but more and more often manufacturers are making so difficult to change most probably wouldn't attempt it.

You still have that car you had that custom plate on?

Sort:  

The very same. It's still got less than 60,000km on the clock. I'm a real homebody. Not to be confused with the term "homeboy".

60K isn't much and if it ain't broke why fix (replace) it?

My thoughts exactly. It will be driven until the maintenance / repair costs annually are >50% of the value of the vehicle.

After it, I have no idea what I'll drive. Still of the conclusion that every vehicle available for sale at the moment is a shitbox. :) (Even my own; if I were to rebuy a "new" example today)

Transport should be functional and not an aspirational accessory package. Sure, there's a lot of fun stuff out there, and a lot of... outrageous stuff out there; but functional.

To me, that would probably be an old school Forester Wagon, AWD, in manual; but they don't make those anymore; and the ones out there are prone to blowing head gaskets.
