My Rude-Ass Car

Re:My Rude-Ass Car by jfoutz on Wednesday November 01, 2023 @10:48PM (#38108392)

you know, it's weird. I have a Miata. It's not particularly fast, but it's fun to drive. Went on a bit of a road trip over the summer, and parking was tight at one place I stayed, so was valet only.

They had to get a janitor to pull my car around the next day.

I mean, it's a little unusual to need to push the stick down to go into reverse, but I guess it's like secret knowledge now days.

I really love that car. Who knows how things'll go. I hope it'll outlast me.

And it's an actual sports car. People don't even know what that means anymore.

And regular hatchbacks and station wagons are now "SUVs."

I've routinely had to have valets walk me to my car since nobody who's working that day can drive it. As a result, I've - more than a few times now - gotten the hotel to comp the parking since I end up doing the actual parking and retrieval myself.

All VWs do that. I quite like it.
