I'd rather preserve my clutch (and dignity). I'll let the minivans take the win.

Now if we approach a corner.....

Guys, instead of wasting your money trying to make the 86 fast, you should just buy a second project car made for straight line speed. That's what I did. Best of both worlds.

2000 Sienna - best car I've ever driven.

its practical for me too as a personal vehicle. I can put all my groceries/shopping in it. Larger things i just have delivered.

if i need a big car for a trip with friends or something i can just rent it from hertz/enterprise.

These are road cars not strip cars. I have this and I've had the other and both are fun in different ways

minivans are the soccer mom's corvette

Current frame.

Well then! I learned something today.

OH ALSO. I put a deposit down on a BRZ today.

Wait, crap, they dropped navigation from the BRZ this year. That's fucking annoying, I really like have in-dash navigation...

Anyone know if you can plug in your phone/mirror Google Maps or other navigation app with the Subaru Starlink thing? EDIT That doesn't need possible. But I've got a Garmin that I used to use with my MK1 Focus, and if anything I have my phone too. And whatever phones after that, as well...
