The Crown Victoria was the only possibility not too long ago. Now I guess the "new thinkpad" is an american SUV.

Volvo 240

Old Ford Bronco

saab

Crown Vic, Volvo 240, Toyota Hilux

anything you put work into
like a bmw
no normie all in one shit like a honda/toyota

Probably a volvo battle-tank, although 200sx's are pretty rice about now, get 'em while they are still cheap.

police cars and taxis give you a clue. Just check what models are most used by cops and cabbies and you'll know.
hint: the crown vistoria and the toy yoda hilux

mercedes w202 c class

Lada.
The only commie car you can compile using sheet metal and mallet.

Toyota Corolla

Which Lada, though, and are they feasible to obtain in the US?

GNU/Car

can we actually get /o/ on the phone, pls?

/o/ here:
X series = Honda Civic / Corolla
T series = Camry / Volvo 240
W series = F-150 / panther platform
There's probably others that can fit into the categories, but these are the common examples.

yes, an EF civic is it.
very reliable and well built
practical, lots of room
adequate performance
slower than decent modern cars
faster than modern-ish slower cheap cars, especially an SI model.
extremely easy to modify, do engine swaps, get something very decent
large aftermarket
good to learn about wrenching on
a meme
loved by poorfag cope artists who will move on as soon as they can afford to, and genuine enthusiasts alike
'they just don't make em like they used to'


people posting over-engineered stuff that is so old now as to DEFINITELY be a massive headache don't understand thinkpads or cars

A lot cheaper than a skyline of the same age, 200sx's are gonna start cheeping up to those prices soon

This but unironicly

anything is cheaper than a skyline

That's about right.

>What is the Thinkpad of cars
I asked that the other day.

Probably a Mazda 626. Other than that, a 94 Camry, or 99 Accord sedan.

Underrated
Fuck BMW, bmw is like the mac of cars. I can swap a starter on my toyota or honda in like 30-40 minutes. Swapping starter on BMW is an 8-12 hour job. Had to take apart half the engine. It was literally underneath, on the bottom.

>bmw is like the mac of cars
not true. bmw actually has the performance to back up the price and many of their cars are loved classics

nissan micra (k11)

Vauxhall Astra 04-10

Parts are cheap and easy to fix. Get one thats been well maintained past 60k miles and you're laughing.

>vauxhall
its opel you fugging brits

My family drove a Mazda 626 for thirteen years and put something like half a million miles on it, so that checks out.

BMW has far too many issues with reliability to be the thinkpad equivalent

in my experience with german cars the only issue with reliability is the dipshit behind the wheel. a huge portion of issues with higher ends cars happen because dipshits buy them and treat them like toyotas (never change oil, no inspections, tire rotations, etc.) and get surprised when they need fixed. No different if you gave your boomer dad a thinkpad. he would probably fuck it up in a week

Wrong. Thinkpads are tanks explicitly designed for abuse by average retards in a business setting. By your own admission that'd be a Toyota.

so efficient it's illegal

Toyota is HP, no soul
