Stuff I wanted from a car at various ages:

18: Cheap. Occasionally parts can fall off. -> Fiat Uno for 1k DM

25: Company car. Oh the camshaft exploded? Not my problem! Yay!

30: No car needed. Yay? -> DLR, Taxi and corporate cab account.

45: Cheap. Energy efficient. Reliable. Big trunk. -> Astra J 1.7 CDTI for under €5k

Now: Cheap*. Energy efficient. Reliable. Big trunk. 20 cm ground clearance. Bad road suspension. Seats that don't hurt my back.

No wonder its so hard to find with these growing needs :)

*Cheap means: If I have to spend more than €5k on a car it better be fucking awesome, lifts itself up for repair access, lasts forever, runs on beaver farts and not look like a malformed egg.

@yngmar Ah, the Fiat Uno!
Loved those.
@canyakker We had many adventures together! 😁
@yngmar Where do you source your beaver farts?
@LilPecan Down by the village lake where they left one tree standing, chewed half through and ready to drop.
@yngmar You know, in order to get the most quality farts, the rest of that tree has to go.
