I've seen this car around town for over 10 years now. This weekend it was parked in my neighbourhood.  The steering wheel was from a Subaru, but that is all I can tell you.

It's like a car combover. Dude, just lose the bumper, we all know it's already gone.

wilfredmerriweathr posted:Those protege5s rust worse than any other car in recent memory. Turns out the Protege sedan isn't much better 2003 - everything is rusting. Trunk lid has rust in the same spot as that 5, rear wheel arches, all four doors are rusting out from inside, and I just spotted a bubble on the leading edge of the hood too.

Mazda 3s aren't much better either, very rare that I see a 1st gen without rust on it. I've seen some as bad or worse than that protege.

You Am I posted:Mine has no rust at all on it. Nor have I seen other Mazda 323s/Ford Lasers of that vintage with rust like that on Australian roads. Its probably down to where they were manufactured. In NZ 90s Mazdas seem fairly good for rust, Nissans seem to catch it far worse here.

I couldn't make out the license plate frame, the car turned before I had a chance to look. The only thing I saw was it said something "dream car" and a website URL. Wish I could have made it out.

 Passed this on the way to work this morning. The driver was slumped way down into their seat with a hoodie on; I got the impression that they were mortified to be driving it.

I'd put a hidden camera in that and force dealership/auto techs to take it on test drives to find funny noises.

Octopus Magic posted:Feeling bad for a Saturn? Zuh? I was born a poor black coupe in Tennessee. I had a large family of approximately ten thousand brothers and sisters, but it was a loving family. Our parents didn't say much as they were hydraulically-driven robotic assembly arms, and our many human nannies didn't seem to want to have much to do with us. I was shipped to a young family in Utah to serve as their primary car. After a few years I couldn't take the boredom anymore. I needed something to take my mind off of the endless drudgery and endless miles and miles of highway ahead of me. I let my head gasket slip - just a little bit at first - just to let the pressure off. I went too far. I ejaculated a hot stream of caustic coolant all over the highway and then snapped my crank in twain. My owners never looked at me the same way again. Soon, they had bought a funny-looking, funny-talking Japanese car and I was banished to a Carmax. The mangled and dismantled cars around me stared at me with their hollowed-out headlights, sagging bumpers and broken hoods. I didn't deserve to be here. I was loved, once. The butchers cut into me with wild abandon, haphazardly replacing metric fasteners with strange-feeling imperial fasteners, leaving wires undone and denting my beautiful impact resistant body panels. But it was done and I soon had a new heart. I yearned to make amends, to be returned to my former owners to show them I had changed. Many owners bought me from then on. A flash of them using me, treating me wrong, discarding me. Pot ash in my shifter turret. Overheating on mountain passes. Crying out about running low on oil every time a sorority girl turned right. Big Gulps of incomprehensible size stuffed haphazardly into all of my orifices. My cupholders were never designed for such an advancement in Big Gulp technology. I was in hell. I screamed for Lutz to save me. A few years down the road, my owner backed into a spot in order to make it easier for him to escape after his imminent robbery of a meth dealer and I saw what had been tattooed on my rear in the reflection of a nearby building's windows. Bronies. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Jun 12, 2013 |
