I live at porter square and can confirm my black Subaru Impreza is usually parked between two other black Impreza or a prius. Obama 2008 or Coexist bumper stickers are optional.

Usually the coexist sticker is accompanied by other ones that proclaim their hatred of Republicans. 🤣

Either that or the one with the Cisco logo on it—purchased the single time the owner has been to Nantucket, which was Memorial Day 2018, where he spent a few grand to share a house with 20 other dudes

None of these answers are very good.

It’s a late 90/ early 2000s Volvo sedan with a bumper sticker from their kids under and post grad schools.

This is a quintessential MA car for a certain demographic. Bonus if they have a low number plate. MA has gotta be the only state where having a low digit plate is a bigger flex then having a sports car lol

Once upon a time Saabs and Volvo's ruled the roads of MA. I still remember seeing Saab commercials all the fucking time on PBS during their begathons err phone auctions in the 90s.

The answer to this question probably changes every 20 years.

RIP Saab.

The "weekend warrior". A car that its owners don't really need because they work from home and only drive it once a month to visit friends or do the occasional Costco run. As residential parking is so heavily subsidised in Boston they don't care their car is mostly a space saver.

I upgraded to an off-street parking spot. Worth it.

Which is fine. You know why I have cars? So I can wrench on them and take them on fun drives/ errands that are more convenient by car. I have one car I probably won’t drive until April and another that I use maybe 1 or 2x a week. Work from home is a godsend

r/boston's idea of fun is taking a ride on the GLX

I don’t really care to argue with people about my choices. Not everyone needs to live in a modern 500 sqft studio with no parking or outdoor space. If people do great more old apartments with character for me to choose from

I owned a Wrangler for awhile…it’s an ideal city vehicle, at least before they made an abomination of that model making it 4 door.

Tight turning radius and metal bumpers make it perfect for street parking.

You know, I kind of get it. I shared a tandem spot with a jeep and it was really easy to back out, even without the backup camera. Here I was thinking I have skills… But it’s so big for street parking and it must use a lot of fuel
