I’d personally fall asleep and drive off a bridge driving an Accord. Same goes for a new Camry. Had one as a rental, ick. So safe and baw-ring that it’d probably kill me.
If I go new-ish, I’m going BR-Z. Or Tesla. Or Boxster. Maybe even a nice Miata with a turbo. Perhaps a SmartCar with Hayabusa engine. Anything but a bloody appliance marketed to terminal nancy worrywarts.
But hey, at least it’s not a fake-truck cutie-utie that’s designed to make soccer moooommies feel like they’re driving a UPS truck.
Lastly, I’ve sold quite a few cars and bikes that I bought used at a nice profit. Generally enough to cover insurance, registration, misc taxes paid, and repairs. Making my avg monthly payment pretty dern close to nada.
The diesel is sort of slow, but the Miata and Saab 900turbo were both a riot to drive, especially after the latter’s boost regulation computer was appropriately adjusted.
