Marty the Maverick Got a New Buddy

[athertonbt]

Mia the Kia is here. My wife had a good amount of trade equity in her CRV and has never really liked the ride. She only drives a few days a week and wanted something a little more fun.
Found this loaded 2023 Kia Soul with 5k miles on it for $20k. Great driving car. We previously had a Soul and loved it. Took it on a long trip the other day, put on cruise control and lane assist and it basically functions as a simple self-driving mode on long stretches of highway. Had never driven a vehicle where I could take hands off the wheel and watch it hold the line. Not something I would pay extra for, but a cool experience none the less, and a good feature for us as we enjoy taking trips frequently. She's averaging 34 mpg so far.
I find there's a lot of similarities between it and the Mav. A lot of durable hard plastics on the interior that have been maximized to look interesting. Simple infotainment and climate control systems. Both are super comfortable for me in the driver's seat with plenty of headroom (I'm 6'4"). Great looking vehicle with a lot of character.
Happy for her and loving how it looks next to Marty Mav.

Marty and Mia sittin in a tree! I’ve found a lot of Mav owners come from owning a Soul. I had my 2011 for 10 years. It was a great car.

Are you going to breed them?

Are you going to breed them?

Would the offspring be a Moul?

Cute cars! I rented one in CO and had a great time in the snow. I probably will never own another vehicle without cruise and lane assist! It makes my monthly 6 1/2 hr drives not only bearable but enjoyable! I will gladly pay extra for it.

Father's genes are normally more dominant, so would favor the Maverick. Odd thing is that from conception to birth would take about nine months - about the average time it takes a Maverick to be born and delivered.

I respectfully disagree. Due to the father's heritage, add 3 months

Or Moulick???

I accept your disagreement and you are still wrong - probably add 6 months and then another month after labor for shipping.

Fair enough, I whole heartedly agree!

Obviously! Look which one is parked under the carport!

This post turned out to be way funnier than I thought it could be

Suzuki Sidekick/Geo Tracker vibes for days on the Mav/Kia offspring.
Behold the Fia Saverick!
