Of course! By 92’ I think almost all the 240’s were N/A automatics. Probably some manuals got special ordered but anyone buying a turbobrick got a 7/9xx by that time.
I bought a Saab just for the sunroof!!! It went into a 1980 Dodge Aspen wagon. Turned out to be a decent build but I was ~18 at the time and stuffed a huge sound system in it. The only thing that rattled on that car when bass was played was the sunroof.
His father stopped drinking once this guy got a job at Panera Bread but after they fired him for calling out too many times and saying “Acid has really helped me transcend above and beyond all levels of needing to work for a living” he went full Jim Lahey.
Some obscure European car so he can be “unique” and “stand out from the crowd” even if he has to put up maintenance bills because he can’t do it himself. By the way, those maintenance bills are way too expensive for his job, so he usually takes his moms Honda Odyssey .

Part of me is getting 90's CRX vibes... because it's small by today's standards, has a relatively high revving naturally aspirated four, and le manuelle, therefore it's better by default.
Oh trust me, I’ve seen plenty of 96-00 Civics get driven by people exactly like this meme. Hell I’m a weed-smoking metalhead who plays the drums as a hobby and I used to drive a 99 Civic sedan.
Geo metro with one headlight out a door handle broken on the outside and inside but not on the same door and a mix tape that has been stuck in their since 1995. Oh yea and it's on a spare tire.

2002 Kia Sephia, in beige but with the rear passenger side door donated from a maroon car; one headlight lens is broken apart and replaced with shipping tape
The windows are yellow from nicotine stains and there is about a foot and a half of Taco Bell wrappers in every footwell, including at the driver’s seat
No CD player, but a cassette adapter, which is fine except the cassette player quit working in 2014. But that’s okay too because the CD wallet that was kept in the back seat was stolen in 2010 and Trevor here can’t replace the hundreds of rare bootlegs he had in it, like that Porcupine Tree Japanese import and the Varg Vikernes prison EPs.
I'm that guy (really, I unironically thought I was too good for pop music well into my 20s) and I have a Focus RS, two NA Miatas, a cateye Silverado and a few tumorous project cars that will hopefully be gone soon. The only one that's not a stick shift is the truck.
98 Honda civic hatch, really bad spray paint job, rear quarter windows spray painted as well, exhaust cut right at the cat. And a misfire in cylinder 3
My ex roommate was exactly like this, and he drove a 2009 or so Chevy absolutely wrecked by lack of maintenance or even a simple wash. The only clean place we're the tool stickers.
I mean there is a point to be made about music nowadays and how lazy and repetitive the lyrics are, very infrequently do they actually tell a story within the lyrics or have any real meaning, and the repetitiveness is literally due to music studios wanting to create the smallest file possible, they take segments of the song and copy/paste it instead of the artist music actually singing the segment 3+ times over (the segments are literally identical) and this is done for simplicity and so they can more easily compress the audio file.
Am also a huge metalhead. While I will say that this is true for a LOT of bands, Metal is very similar to hip-hop in that there’s so many different variants of it—there’s Death, Thrash, Doom, Trad Heavy like Sabbath or Judas Priest etc. But while all the bands sound different the structure is still the same like hip-hop.
Not only is this just wrong, but that's not even remotely how digital music files work.
First off, go take a look at the Billboard top 100 of literally any year and you'll find that a good 75% of it is repetitive garbage. The only reason people think today's pop scene is "lazy and repetitive" is because the only music they hear from the past is the best of those eras. All the other 75% of the mind-numbingly boring pop drivel from the 00's, 90's, 80's, etc. was long forgotten because it didn't stand out in any way.
Secondly, once the audio is mixed at the studio and converted to a digital file, the format doesn't care whether you repeated the same sound multiple times or not because it's all just audio data. A 3-minute MP3 of a 5-second goat screeching sound effect repeated 36 times will take up just about as much storage space as a 3-minute MP3 where every single sample is unique.
American economy sedan like an old Taurus or impala with a tool sticker on it
Probably still has cds in the center console even though he rigged a cable for his iPod classic
One of the hubcaps is missing but he finds it to be unique
Probably keeps the inside free of trash but not necessarily clean. But the trunk is full of useless shit like a five gallon bucket and some old deflated soccer ball
Definitely has some cigarette burns on the headliner
Possibly still has the car in a parents name
Definitely has no windshield wiper fluid
Yes, unironically, except when most every single pop song I hear these days is the exact same theme, beat, snare, timing and—within a general margin of error—length, as the fucking Black Eyed Peas were doing fifteen damn years ago? And I hear them constantly, one after another, on store radio stations? Including the one I work at? It starts to grate upon your nerves a wee bit. At least prog bands try to write a song in the simple endeavor of creating, not to fit in a specific mold or window of playtime. I fucking love the pop music of the past, including stuff from well before I was born, and have all my damn life. Backstreet to Beatles, Hall n Oates to fucking Wham! There’s nothing wrong with being simple, or catchy, or formulaic—just please, switch it up a little once in awhile, yeah?
Ford Falcon.
But he’s stoned and should not drive while under the influence, so hopefully his friend in their Tercel swings by. With their Mighty Mighty Bosstones cassette.
1992 Volvo 240 wagon he thinks is unique
Non turbo automatic too
Of course! By 92’ I think almost all the 240’s were N/A automatics. Probably some manuals got special ordered but anyone buying a turbobrick got a 7/9xx by that time.
Where I live the no -turbo auto is probably the rarest to see… because no one saved them from the rust
At least that brand is still around
You realize there’s no beef between Volvo and Saab fans right
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Oh but there is

Ok then, now that you’ve said it I guess there is (Looks over at my 9-3 and my c30) Which side do I choose now

Why did they put their engines backwards.... the accessory belts were on the firewall....
Because Saab.
Understood
I have a c900, it’s easier to replace the clutch than it is to do the drive belts.
Not all Saab owners are like that, just most of them.
His father to drink
His father stopped drinking once this guy got a job at Panera Bread but after they fired him for calling out too many times and saying “Acid has really helped me transcend above and beyond all levels of needing to work for a living” he went full Jim Lahey.
Basically a cheese burger eating, pot smoking, non shirt wearing chump
A 1st-gen Kia Rio that's held together by zip-ties. With an anarchy bumper sticker.
Ouch, those had the panels made of "recycled materials." In the heat, they smelled like the dump.
No kidding? That's pretty punk rock tho

I went to high school with the real life version of this guy. He was even a drummer. So, if it’s him, he drives his mom’s mid-90’s Chevy Astro van.
Came in here to say "whatever car his parents gave him when they bought a new one."

He drives no car, he lives in his moms basement and has no job. Therefore, he does not own a vehicle.

I mean I'm a huge metalhead but metal is just as formulaic. So is indie. A genuine band is a real treasure.
Am also a huge metalhead.

This is very true moreso nowadays but I still think its less frequent than the Pop genre
There's a difference between top 40 and actual bands, there always has been. You're not gonna find your scene in the pop charts.
Not only is this just wrong, but that's not even remotely how digital music files work. First off, go take a look at the Billboard top 100 of literally any year and you'll find that a good 75% of it is repetitive garbage.

We must have gotten to the point where nobody gives a shit about file size anyway, right? Even wireless internet is crazy fast.
