So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

In related news, I got a new one of them, the fuel pump access panel, the small rear parcel shelf cover, the dust cover plate (in the trunk) all of which were rusted badly, and new carpet to go over everything for $96.30. :hydra:

The neighbors put a for sale sign in their '54 Chevy 3100 pick-up. It's pretty nicely maintained, yellow and white paintjob and all of the bits of brightwork seem to be in solid shape. No real details on the sign other than they want $25k for it. It has a single exhaust pipe out the back which makes me think it has the original I6.
I have no desire to buy a vehicle quite that old (I think my cut off is somewhere more like 1970) but I hope it goes to a good home, it's a cool truck.
Well, finally ordered tires. It'll be weird to have something other than my beloved Pilot Sports 3S on, but them's the breaks. Oh, also, new brake pads.

I have been seeing a lot of Buick commercials lately because I have been watching a lot of Hulu and allow me to try to express how much I hate the way new Buicks look. They've managed to create an entire line of cars and SUVs with absolutely no discernable shape, they're just sort of blobby nothings. How did they make curves offensive? Everyone loves curves, curvy is usually an unambiguously good thing to be, but these cars are a mangy assembly of curved surfaces that offends me to my core.

Blobby nothings was basically the entirety of the global motor vehicle industry in the mid-late 90s, glad to see they're bringing it back.

They look a lot like Opels. Like, I guarantee the Cascada and Encore are literally just rebadged Opels - we're getting the Encore here in Australia sold as the Trax. As well as the Insignia as the new Commodore.
I just want an easy way to always get purple cars that doesn't involve spending a million dollars and having the car out of commission during the process.

That's pretty cool, but it's too bad it's a special order only thing.
It's already a shame how most new cars come in like 7 to 10 colors, but actually finding one in a dealership in a color other than white, black, or one of 3 shades of grey, is like spotting a unicorn.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

Well it's 40 colors. It obviously has to be special order. They can't just have a fleet of all 40 colors waiting around at every dealership especially because the base colors will still be most popular so they need more of them for demand.
But the fact that it's an option is incredible.
Plus special ordering cars is the best! You get exactly what you want.

My main complaint is just how boring car colors are in general, and relegating all the cool colors to special order only doesn't do a lot to encourage or enable random folks to buy an awesome colored car, because the vast majority of folks are not going to custom order a vehicle.
Manufacturers, dealers, and car buyers all need to just live a little. Hyundai, for example, has this really cool surf blue color that's available on a lot of their cars, and when I was at the largest Hyundai dealer in the region recently I saw that color on exactly one car in their entire lot.

yeah seriously. The new Kona has that rad neon color that exactly zero dealers with in a hundred miles purchased. Would you like your black, white, or gray car? :rotate:

Understandable. But if the option is there anyone who really cares that much can do it. And if everyone else has boring colored cars still your exciting color stands out that much more!
Plus I don't really care about the option for a majority of folks. If the option is there and they don't want it that's fine. I just want the option to be available at all so people that do care can actually have non-boring cars for once. Most of the cool colors on cars are an option anyway that has an extra charge. Even if it's already sitting on the lot, it's an option that costs more money. So it's still not that different than what's going on here.

Yeah, the surf blue and neon green colors on the Kona are fantastic, but no dealers actually have them. Depsite those being the colors every car reviewer got.

I did a quick search on cars.com and within 75 miles of Los Angeles there are less than 30 Konas with a paint job other than black/white/silver/gray. Out of nearly 500 Konas for sale out here.

What did you go with for tires?
I feel like my aspect ratio is squished horizontally
Didn't you hear? Like 25 people from Holden's design studio at the Elizabeth plant got to keep their jobs.

..Why? Who's going to make anything they design? I guess GM South Korea now that they're failed at shutting that down..?
As I understand it, they just do general design work for the entirety of GM. Little bits and pieces here and there.
You can't give someone a pirate ship in one game, and then take it back in the next game. It's rude.

The GS seats have me contemplating this being my next car.

But a year in my boring silver forte makes me kinda miss it.

There's also only 14 with AWD.
