Car Bloat

Or ...find a pickup with a standard. You'll never wear the transmission out and nobody under 40 could steal it.

Speaking of bloat, we rented a car in the UK last month. They "upgraded" us to an MG ZS. Freaking cool, right? I've always wanted to drive an MG.
What an unbelievable POS. 106 horsepower, in a small crossover SUV. I initially thought it was a typo, but no. Luckily we were driving it in Somerset, which is chock full of windy roads and steep hills, so obviously we didn't need the power. Not going downhill, at least.
Setting fire to it would have been a better use of gas.
Worst. Car. Ever.

I wuz looking in the interwebs...
Found a 2015 Nissan Frontier stretch cab, four-banger with a standard, 105,000 miles, asking $9990.
That's a 200,000 mile truck. Has the itty-bitty jump seats behind the front seat, just big enough for a Chihuahua, but there's enough room there for groceries or a bunch of tools.
