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

Also

That new Camry is a really nice car.  (TRD)

I'd love to buy one.

I like the new (2023) Prius.

Came here to say that too. 

Also, "I don't care if it's a stick shift or not." Said when buying my xterra. 

I want an automatic for my next daily driver. 

Not sure I'd buy a daily at this point that didn't have heated seats. And if I did, I'd miss them.

I want to buy a brand new car

I want to sell my BMW

"No baby, I don't need a Plum Crazy Hemi Challenger, we can just keep the Impala." 

Immediately I heard a voice in my head say, "who the berk said that?"

I bought a new 1985 Nissan 200SX 5-speed manual and stopped by girlfriend to show - her mom (my future mother-in-law) comes and says;

You bought a brand new car and you have to shift the gears?  

She thought either I or her daughter was nuts.  

"spend the money on new kitchen cabinets, because I'd just buy a really fast race car that I would end up hating owning"

"Well, I'd prefer that in a 4dr"

Just when did I get THAT old?

"I really need a big faring to hide behind, to ride to work"

If I'd a known I was gonna live this long, I shoulda taken better care of myself...

I find it interesting how many of y'all are surprised to now like 4 door cars. I've almost always preferred the aesthetic of 4 door sedans. But every one to their own opinion

I've never been a minivan hater, but I didn't think I'd become such a fan.

Maybe mine would be "I love this E350".  15 passenger with the V10. 

This thread has me laughing so damn hard. I think I've aged faster than my forum counterparts since I'm not yet 40 and say on a regular basis the exact things you old fogies (old fogies is as kind and endearing as possible) have been extolling in this thread. 

Which... Now that I reflect on that.. what crazy automotive things will I be complaining or talking about in another 10 years?!??!?? Terrifying.

I'm tall, and I really like two door cars, becausecI don't have to work my way ahead to get out past the B pillar.  

I also don't have kids in car seats anymore.

"I'm gonna sell the racecar and only have 1 project".

Wait, wut?

"You know, an electric car would happily perform about 98% of my driving requirements just fine."

Yup. I said to myself that i have too many cars and projects many times. 

And im 41...

The EV is just a better car than one with an ICE

That 4 cylinder car sounds really good

I done with the loud brap brap brap exhaust, poor drivability, of a bridge ported rotary.

Get out of my head

Bought a Buick.... Enclave to tow the racecar.

“Hey, that’s a nice looking Prius!”   Also: “Camry or Accord hybrid?  Hmmm.” 

"Ill just have the shop do the brakes this time."

"The CVT in that car is way better than the automatic."

"I'd rather have that with the base engine. It's plenty powerful."
