What is the Thinkpad of cars?

t. poor student

what's a thinkpad?

Judging by the pic, I would assume it's something square, cheap, reliable, and not too fast but dependable.

Volvo 240
Mercedes 300D

car/ computer nerd here

there are different thinkpads for different styles, but for what lenovo...ibm intended it for - it was really an appliance to get shit done. Reliably, and without showing off or being flashy. I'd say the closest thing is a camry.

You can rice out a think pad, and the camry aftermarket isn't quite there. I'd say if you were leaning in that direction you'd be thinking about a civic

Thinkpad?

You mean those things that have the lowest resolutions in its class and dimmest displays that get a yellow tint after a couple years?

nigger please.
square isn't a requirement, just something outdated.

think about it.

Their biggest weakness is the display (which you can replace) and everything else is insane value for money.

Basically yeah, something older but small, swift and reliable.

either that or foxbody.....not sure about twingo because I'm a bruger and it's not 2018 yet

>everything else is insane value for money.
if you buy them used.

Honda Civic.
but only if you get it with a manual transmission. The automatics tend to shit themselves

Im in the UK so theres no question about that.

Obviously

Also look at bigger engined 4 cylinder Vauxhall Astras and Cavaliers as well then.

Without a doubt, a 90's Toyota Corolla.

3k civic

I prefer to say "something from when everyone used to do maintenance on their own cars"

If it stayed in production probably the panther but the ranger could fit that profile since it was the last pick up that wasn't meant to impress rednecks.
An old MacBook is overpriced but an old thinkpad is cheap as fuck as long it's not a collector item.

>tfw that's my country

Older Mercedes/BMW that you work on yourself.

very good, cheap laptop

soo, civic for 3k

Miatas or any shitbox.

Pontiac sunfire.

Chevrolet Grand Prix.

>the correct answer

Think about how out of place a Thinkpad looks in a college classroom or byod workplace. I don't think many cars can achieve that. Would definitely have to be something from the 70s, anything past the mid 80s wouldn't cut it.

Crown Vics

They are pretty reliable, actually. My dad's has 230,000 miles on it, and still going strong.

Something that eastern Europeans rave about.

Rangers are reliable-ish if you treat them like an econobox.
Treat them like the shitbox trucks that they are and they'll die pretty quick.

this. get an isuzu or a D21 nissan. a million mexican drywall guys can't be wrong.

A twingo.

Reliable, cheap parts, slow, low consumption. Their speedos tend to crap out. That combined with a model with power steering causes the steering wheel to become reeeeaaally hard to turn.

>Treat them like shit and they'll die quick

Isn't that pretty much any car.....

Mint condition, real mileage, properly maintained, driven to work by my gf black boyfriend, no hidden errors.

Germany?

I really don't think thats Germany user

>temperamental maintenance heavy old car
>just like arch

Depend on the year and transmission

I beat the shit out of 1992 Manual

Drift it around corners on the daily
Accelerate always with my foot planted to the ground
Etc

And she still had 240,000 miles and I've literally had 0 problems in all the time I've had her.
Put about 35k miles on in a year and a half.

>lasts literally forever if you are a man that can maintenance the machine properly
yup, sounds about right

Whatever you can install gentoo on, so probably a tesla.

It's a landcruiser

everyone knows that.
