Some solid Lexus LS400‘s in that range. If you can find one that’s been babied you’re set. I bought my LX450 for $15,000. The MPG are horrible but she’s been such a reliable truck. If you can add some extra $ on too of the $13K you’ll have some amazing options. Anything that’s Toyota in the 90’s/early 00’s is a solid buy.
80s-2000s Mazda, Nissan, and Toyota pickups. Efficient, functional, fun colors, reliable and will fix themselves if you yell angrily enough, cheap, not awful on gas. Trucks are personality vehicles.
Never buy a brand new car for the love of god.
I bought a 2006 Acura TL a little over a year ago for $1000. Me and my dad had to put a little work into it but I love early 2000s luxury sports cars - it’s super fast, has a moonroof and only plays CDs and Cassettes, no AUX - which has led me to start buying CDs again. I love going to a thrift stores and finding Smashing Pumpkins or Alice In Chains or some shit for super cheap.
florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.
I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.
I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
