Long live Ukraine and its brave and wonderful people.
My nickname originates from a minor character of the PlayStation game Spyro the Dragon. You may have known me (actually, I hope not) as SizSkiizd on that trainwreck of a site called IGCD. Just your standard Oslovian fella, leading a safe and rather average life during these woke compelled speech cancel culture times while obsessing over nostalgia whenever I can. I'm a total sneakerhead in addition to being a car nerd. My favorite line of shoes are Reebok Pumps. Being a city boy living barely 10 minutes away from work, I don't own a car, but I love to drive and would like to own one some day. Preferably something cheap with airbags and a combustion engine. I'm not picky. Growing up in the 90s, I was particularly fond of French cars, namely Citroën H/DS/CX/BX/XM, Peugeot 204/304/504/505 and Renault Dauphine/4/16/6/5. I became interested in 1950s American iron after watching Olsen-banden on VHS. Later I became open to all sorts of cars. I came across IMCDb looking for pictures of Austin A152s.
I used to own a black 2000 Toyota Avensis
Linea Luna 1.6 (sadly scrapped in 2018).
Also used to brag about an old mothballed 1987 VW Passat 2.0i Trend (actually my father's) that got sold in December 2021.
I've driven a bunch of cars and cannot list them all. I used to keep a list but lost track eventually. I took my driver's ED in a 2008 Honda Civic Type-R and learnt to drive in me ma's 2002 Citroën Berlingo.
The best driving experience for me to date was a 2009 Toyota Prius. The rarest car I've driven (by IMCDb standards) was a 2002 Daihatsu YRV.
I cannot say I've driven an 'awful' car, but probably my least satisfying driving experience was a 2008 Opel Corsa OPC. Awkward gear shift, uncomfortable bucket seats and blind spots galore.
Used to do many different things here, but I mostly do old movies now and some more recent Norwegian stuff. My main area of interest is early 50s independent American automobiles, especially Kaiser-Frazer, Packard, Studebaker, Nash and Hudson.
