Does this count as a car? Ripsaw EV3. If you ever see someone driving this on the interstate in traffic, I've hit the lottery

I had the Pontiac Aster. I sure did love the hatchback.
Two bags of sand in the back and I could plow thru 8" snow.

I swapped out the engine in a parking lot next to my wife's work at a gas station, they used the wrecker to lift the engine in for me.

My next door neighbor had one until like a decade ago. parked outside through at least 20 Chicago winters with less visible rust on the day she croaked than my current car from the mid 2000's. "they dont make em like they used to", although you did NOT want to be rear ended in one of those, moreso than any car of the era lol.

This was what I drove the first few months after I got my license. 1981 Ford Courier. Mine wasn't nearly this nice

we only get snow here for a couple months a year, if i win the lottery youd see me in one of these 6x6 tanks
Hakone is where you want to drive when you get there then. My wife and I used to go all the time, about 40 minutes drive. But Hakone has some of the most twisty roads you'll ever see.

Dude pulled up next to me one night on the way to the drag strip. I'm in my Nova, and he's in a busted ass wedge Mitsubishi eclipse. No interior, I can see the metal of his doors and pillars. Paint is worn down all over the car, everything is cracked and falling off. He wanted to run, so I stalled up to around 3k rpm, and when the light hit green I let it rip. Ive never taken an ass whooping like that in a street race. That's the day I learned about Diamond Star Motors
Turns out he was headed to the drag strip as well. It was a heavily boosted awd car, and it flat hauled ass. Low 6's in the 1/8 mile

I'd be okay with that. I prefer to be a passenger.
