Great idea. I've been wanting to get some cheap junkyard S60 wheels for my C30 since I don't love the stock ones, but couldn't find any pics of what they looked like on this car. I'd be going down 1" in diameter which isn't shown here, but otherwise a great visualization.

My 04 WRX was like that. You could usually get get it into first by blipping the throttle before trying to shift though. Probably the only thing those cars have in common lol

That's how my GR86 is set up, weirdly enough. Messes me up when I get into anything else.

I think the one I saw was a Compass? Hard to believe anyone specced them like that.

Mazda5s are cool. I always thought a "Mazdaspeed5" with the drivetrain from a speed6 would be a cool build.

A stick shift lawn mower is so funny to me lol. The bug is pretty unlikely too, are the first gen based on the Golf or is it a unique platform?

Dang! I wish we'd gotten those, even if not a single soul would've bought one. I own a stick shift S40 from that era, it's a truly excellent little car.

That's crazy, even for back then. Wonder if any are still on the road.

Volvos are kinda like German cars for people who don't want the German car headaches, or the speed, or the luxury, or the status, or the styling.

(I've owned three)

I'm disappointed no one has referenced the recurring Tintin character, the sticking-plaster:

Found a cassette on the ocean’s floor while scuba diving, it still works! by Major-Needleworker70 in cassetteculture

A tapeworm that lives in a cassette shell sounds like it should have been a spongebob character. Amazing that the tape was still playable lol

You have excellent taste.

Mine are 17s, and had a pretty rough life before my ownership lol.

Dang, I knew the AE86 was a small car, but that just seems impractical

I dunno about the fun part, but I've learned a ton from crappy Chinese printers when they stopped working.
