In /g/ we have this meme of using business laptops like Lenovo Thinkpads[1][2], especially the older models, because they are>durable>reliable>cheap>repairable>upgradable>units and parts easily found in used marketplaces>good/acceptable performance>good ergonomics>gives you status as a /g/entleman and not an iToddler>etcBasically the antithesis of everything wrong with modern laptops and technology, resembled in Macbooks and everything Apple. So, what is the thinkpad of cars, that is not a Terrorist(tm) truck, or a tinker-tranny[3] car, that can be used as a daily driver?References:>[1]: https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/ThinkPad>[2]: https://old.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/wiki/index>[3]: One who tinkers for the sake of tinkering, usually resulting in a non functional system, or at best an overly engineered system with diminishing returns. Mainly practiced because of the absence of a real life or a job. Highly associated with trannies for obvious reasons.
>>28939667Volvo Wagon. The Bricks. This was a short thread.
Go back to /g/.P.S. It's the exact terrorist truck you're thinking of.
>>28939671This. Also, it's not a meme if it works.
Ford or Chevy half ton trucks.
>>28939667MX5 is probably the closest equivalent.
>>28939667>x200Neat. Still got my x230t as my travel laptop.Honestly, nothing particularly old will fit exactly as there is much more competition and less corporate adoption in automotive spaces. Look at the stuff used for taxis, fleet and government cars. That's not a bad equivalent.
>>28939667thinkpads are dogshitI have a couple
>>28939667>durable worktopprobably some sort of fleet sedan like a panther body or a W body
>>28939667Transit is the byword for a work van
>>28939667Chevrolet Express. Can do it all, and has done it all for three decades with little to no change in design, save for a more powerful motor under the hood (Just like the Thinkpad you can buy with a modern CPU that looks just like a model from the '90s). Parts? Upgrades? Cheap? Reliable? Durable? Widespread? Yes to all.
>>28939737Only person who actually understood the assignment
>>28939878you don't understand thinkpads nor miatas
>>28939667the appropriate designated economy toyota/honda vehicle in your cunt
>>28940318>the most reliable and purpose built in it's class>world renown with virtually zero marketingNo, you
>>28940550fat fuckin greasy fingered /g/nigger would think this.have fun keeping up with traffic
Jeep XJ
>>28939667Honda Civic. Just like ThinkPads, they pump out new ones regularly, and they are not as nice aesthetically compared to their late 90s and early 2000s models.
>>28940636kek, this is the best comparison. /tpg/ on /g/ is just like /hg本田/ on /o/.
>>28940568NTA, but,I will. That's what Miata's do. Provide fun motoring reliably and economically..
>>28939667>cheapThinkpads are super expensive unless you buy an old one on ebay
>>28940897that's the whole point of thinkpads, you buy them used on ebay
>>28941836so where do the new thinkpads come from
>>28941849I don't know, better ask mommy
