Luigi saved Brian Thompson from himself.

I obviously don’t know your location but look at things like Nissan hardbodies/early frontiers or Mazda B3000s. The latter of which are literally just 90s Ford Rangers (Rangers were rebadged Mazdas)

Why not save 10k and get an Impreza instead? Literally the same car with less LARPing plastic cladding and a lift that kills mpg

Indeed. Also, “compact,” what is this, 2010?? Don’t exist anymore. You can either choose between fuckhuge trugg or fuckhuge sedan. Even our compacts are bigger than 90s four-doors (and sold as either top-spec luxury sports models or tin cans on wheels that nobody should be driving)

The cheapest cars start at like $25k anyway and depreciate much faster than a truck/full-size. Plus fuel cost is massively subsidized. I’ve seen even eco-conscious friends of mine get FlexFuel F150s because it just doesn’t make sense to buy a small car. It’s like movie theatre popcorn pricing
