There were a few of them here when I was a kid.


There are Lada Nivas still on the road... Its a classic.



I keep seeing this fully rusted Lada Niva around town... Its a custom rust-job.



A friend of mine recently bought an UAZ... Its the Soviet jeep you see in the movies.





Pretty cool.

I haven't see a Lada on the roads here in over twenty years.

My parents bought me my first car. They paid for the insurance too.

My daughter is 25 years old and refuses to learn to drive. She thinks I'm made of money and can afford to taxi her at her convenience. We gave her 11 grand to buy a car and get her license. Nope, didn't do what we said and now she thinks she's going to get me to take her to her new hospital job. Sorry, gas is way to high and I'm not no fucking taxi.





Ok, rant over.




But will you stick to your guns or give in?



I really hope you stick to your guns.

For a young driver with a DL a great first vehicle would be a late 90's-early 00's Jeep Cherokee XJ with a 5-speed Manual and the 4.0L Inline-6 that way today none of their friends could drive it and it is super easy and cheap to fix and maintain and you can visit some neat places to go camping.

Yep, it was a great car to have to go around checking job sites, carrying tools and whatnot



When I got to the US in 1999 I couldn't believe the cars that were considered "average" there. Not to mention all the extras I had never seen here.



Back in the 90's, the only car worth noting in terms of engine was the Chev Opala 6-cyl 4.1 liters



The standard on top cars was 2.0 liters, 2.5 at most.



The we had the Chevy Omega 3.0 that substituted the Opala after 1996



Between gas prices and terrible roads, we had to content with what they made here. But considering how people drive here, it's better that most of our vehicles have less than 80 hp.



Otherwise, you'd better be filthy rich to buy an import.

We have plenty of Asian cars here, Hondas and Toyotas are considered luxury here



We have many assembly lines here. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki and even Mitsubishi



Although some focus more on motorcycles, like Honda



Many Hyundai too

My family was one of the more of the lucky people that bought a Ford without the issues, but we keep getting recalls, we've been waiting on que for the latest recall for over 4 years all b/c they say they ran out of parts, which makes me question will it ever be fixed.  ac_unsure
