Absolutely obsessed with this video, I've had it on loop for hours now:

catching up on well there’s your problem podcast bonus episodes, thinking about cars a lot, and a fucking fiat would serve 99.999% of my car needs perfectly well. i would be perfectly happy driving a little tiny fiat! they’re fun to drive! i got a subaru hatchback bc i knew i was moving cross country soon and wanted reasonable cargo space, and i wanted a four wheel drive vehicle for the rest of my time in w mass. i have needed to rent or borrow a truck Twice outside of major apartment moves.
however! with all these fucking pavement princess trucks in houston, where the hoods of these giant fuckoff trucks are a full head above my car’s roof, im genuinely afraid that an entire fiat would fit completely within their front blind spot and i would be squished!!!

What's your favorite car made before 2015?
That's a pretty wide span of time to choose from, considering the first car was built in 1885. If you're looking for buying advice, you might wanna narrow it down a bit more--feel free to reach out to me again if this doesn't help. If you're just looking for my opinion, though: my favorite car of all time, the first-generation Toyota MR2, was on the market from 1984 to 1989.
Peak '80s retrowave aesthetics, a high-revving four-cylinder mounted behind the driver's seat for optimum weight distribution, and handling tight enough to keep up with damn near anything through tight corners, plus the dashboard looks like the cockpit of a fighter jet; I mean, really, what's not to love?
Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of most cars built in the last 15-ish years; they're stuffed full of largely-unnecessary tech features that distract drivers, make the driving experience less tactile, and make maintenance and repairs both more frequent and much more difficult, especially for the home mechanic.

people say the home is where the heart is. brad knows it's bullshit, though.
home is where you feel safe.
and the only place brad can feel truly safe is his car. whether it's his old beat up silver 2006 toyota corolla or his shiny new white 2020 audi rs 3, he spends more time in his car than his apartment.
well, when he's not sick, at least.
brad bought his corolla new back in 2006. it was his first car, and he still affectionately refers to it as "ol reliable" even though it's pushing 410k miles. the car's nearly undrivable now - there's something wrong with the transmission and the car rattles suspiciously when he drives faster than 60mph in it, but he keeps it anyway because it's the only non-living thing he's ever been attached to. that old car got him away from his father and zack, after all. he saved for years to buy it.
because the thing is - cars are safe. which is ironic, because people die in their cars far more than they die in their homes. but they aren't murdered in their cars. well, not frequently, at least. brad knows that zack knows his address. no matter how often brad moves, zack has always known his new address in a matter of weeks. brad's given up on constantly uprooting his life to hide from the inevitable.
but there isn't a paper trail to follow when brad is in his car. he can drive as long and as far as he wants, and no one can follow him or stop him. that was part of his reason for getting his current car - he knows zack can't afford a faster car than he has, so theres zero chance of zack stalking and hurting him when he's driving. not to mention the fact that brad doesnt have any neighbors when he's driving around, so he can blast his music as loud as he wants and scream when he's pissed off and no one will ever hear or know. it's a great release.
brad isnt a car guy. he's only owned two cars throughout his entire life. but he would rather die than be carless. thats another reason he kept his corolla when he got his audi - one day, his audi may be in need of repair or something that requires it to be taken into a shop, and brad doesnt feel comfortable without an escape plan. better safe than sorry, after all.

Jalopnik I know what you're trying to say but I do not think that calling it a hydrogen bomb was the best choice of words here
