Ah the Focus.... another small car, that isn't. It got so big they needed a smaller one so we get the Fiesta. But wait... they keep adding crap onto it too...
Hey US market, anybody for a Ka?

But I'm a single man, only have the three dogs and me to worry about hauling around so I don't need something really big. Hell, the Impreza is bigger then I need in reality. #oppositelock

I shant poo-poo the vehicle, I know nothing more of it then what the publications have said about it. I think it actually looks great for what it is. It's just.... big.
:) #oppositelock
That's the thing, all modern cars seem too big and bloated.
Insert standard argument for Safety/Convenience additions being cause of weight increases here.
I just don't want to be the one yearning for days gone by, ya know?
I don't wanna be the "get off my lawn" guy just yet. The "In My Day cars were so much blah blah blah...."

Fuck

I'm old. #oppositelock

And just for poops and titters...
My Subi parked beside my pop's F-250.

I like smaller and lighter vehicles.

I scoff at the Mini Countryman. #oppositelock

I happened to look over today during my morning commute and noticed yet another one of those cutesie SUV blobs towering over my humble Impreza, its blissfully unaware driver chatting animatedly into her cell phone as she careened mindlessly down the highway. Of course she cuts me off at the very next opportunity which was when I noticed that the big bastard she was lumbering around in had a Mini emblem on it...
I laughed out loud at the irony.
Ok, so they aren't that big... but size is relative and subjective people! I was in a lowered Impreza and that damn thing looked huge!! It was that moment I realized the size of the Mini Countryman in comparison to it's spiritual lineage. The interwebs helps with this comparison.

What's the details on the Swift?
Mines a short-box, slab side, seasoned 350 sourced from a '69 Blazer with Edelbrock intake//Holley 650/Hooker headers/mild cam and a 3 speed automatic, been lowered a bit and has the "20 inchers that came on it when I bought it. Got 80 some thou on the odo but about 20 thou on the motor. These are just stickers, but they've been on awhile so paint color change is inevitable.

If your the GTi is an automatic we might be talking more... my sister, (co owner of the biz,) requests it be an auto since she'll have to drive half of the time on deliveries and she hates manual. #oppositelock

I've been thinking of selling my '79 C10, looking for something else interesting but more fuel efficient to use as a delivery vehicle. The Subi is racking up too many miles slinging sammiches cause the blue beastie is thirsty... ;)
Heart clicks all around for the blunt front Chebbie truck love! #oppositelock
There's a glitch in the Matrix....

Which is also a Toyota.

THERE'S A TURD IN THE PUNCHBOWL!

Yup, sounds exactly the same to me.... #oppositelock

Designed by lunatics, and then hit with an ax.

Sign me up. ;)

But we shall call it the color of the warrior--Cherry Blossom Red.... #oppositelock

I need a one piece body... cradling me in... soft... reclining... lush... interior...

What the fuck am I buying again?

Turn me on Subaru -- you and your cheap floozy....

Appreciative of QUADROZONTAL indeed....

Happy V-Day Jalopnik, and specifically all my loved #oppositelock family!

That came closer to making me want to get that game then anything I've seen posted on here....
You bastard. ;)

To play that game I would need the X-Box to put it in and a TV to plug it into as well, and I'm just now getting things in my life down to a personally acceptable level of junk. I could throw everything I need in one bag, leash up my three dogs, open the doors for the two feral cats in here to get out at some point and just walk the fuck away.
That right there, almost made me question my whole "live life minimally" mentality.
Well done.
Awesome driving too!
#oppositelock

So did I.
Haven't drank in 20 months.
WTF is my excuse?

#oppositelock

Too late for restoration, perhaps.
Inspiration? Not a chance....

I'm in Asheville and wanna check it out sometime if I can get over there. Now that the rock slide is cleared up over there I might just have to run by soon!
Thanks for the heads up and the awesome pics! #tips

Tell me you were sending it on a lovely ride through the countryside backward to let it experience new points of view in the world, and that there is nothing really wrong with her... or there might just be some waterworks goin' on here in a second bud...
Don't make me has a real sad! #oppositelock
I see a 190SL?!?
A Datsun 1600?!??!
Ohhhhhhhh

I'll be in my bunk #oppositelock
