Automotive things that you'd never thought that you'd hear yourself say...

If the forthcoming Prius were available with a manual transmission, I'd totally purchase one. 

I race a car with a centrifugal clutch (CVT)...........and love it.

"wow these new Cadillacs are actually really nice" #iwork4GM

seriously, they have some impressive cars finally, I definitely have poo-poo'd them in the past (for many years) but this modern batch is worth a revisit.

Maybe I can live with a turbo engine or OHC.  (Not both at once, baby steps....LOL)

"Can I drive your jeep?"

Me, to my dad after he bought a trackhawk.

"I think I'm done with elemental sports cars"

"I want a GT cruiser with a roof, doors, AC, automatic transmission, and an okay sound system is fine."

Yes, I'm >60.

Minivan.

I like my prius 

Anything over 350hp is useless on the street

Turn the stereo off 

All said by me in the past few weeks 

Dude that Delta in the tib isn't a bad little motor.

I love my Rio.

Maybe I should buy a Honda. Wait... haven't said that one yet. I'm safe.

That $8k c6 will probably be a better car for less money than my FFR Daytona Coupe.

I like the new (2023) Prius.

I will always choose an auto over a manual for all daily drivers.

From a person who in his younger years would ridicule automatic owners if they actually had enough limbs to operate a manual.

Mini-van is starting to make sense.

This is AFTER becoming empty nesters. 

I bought a Kia.

I own a british sports car

I'd like a car with chrome bumpers, a bench seat and automatic on the column. 

All said by me recently (I'll be 56 next month FWIW):

You know, I'd take this car as a wagon with an automatic over a sedan with a manual.

you know, I'm about done with a manual as a daily.

you know, this car would be better as a 4-door sedan than a 2-door coupe.

This turbo is both dangerous and annoying.

"this exhaust is too loud"

"I think the miata is a fair-weather-only car now"

"Man, I really, really love this wagon"

"Why would I want to buy that?"

"I'd rather spend the extra money on something that I don't have to mess with"

"I should buy a Volkswagen as a DD."

I really just want to own a car that is in warranty. 

I am buying a brand new car (maverick is on order, I guess at the age of 37 I have reached that stage of adulting)

I think our next car purchase after this will be an electric car (starting to make more sense for the daily drive).

I rented the Chrysler minivan in Minneapolis last month and it's something I love/hate.   I'm 60 years old and love the utility but hate that it's a minivan.
