As much as I love the W123 wagon, I am saddened to see that it has become a hipster car. Perhaps from now on I should stick with a W124/6...

I think that the old 600 limo is essentially hipster-proof if you really want to insulate yourself...

If it didn't get under 10MPG and each hydraulic switch didn't cost $30,000, I might actually consider it. I love the styling in those!

Perhaps my next "around-the-world" car?

Yeah but you'd have to build in a diesel...

The last time I saw an amc pacer anywhere was many yrs ago... there are none left.

Ugh they brought PBR back.

Nothing more hipster than paying $7 for a PBR...

I have not been impressed by any hipster I have met. They all seem to live the life of social commentators with a source of income they didn't earn.

I currently own two on that list. Fortunately I keep the rotting head of the last hipster I hit with my car in a bag on the roof, so no hipsters are temped to come by and talk.

Nothing if your taste runs to sweet, fizzy yellow industrial beer made mostly out of rice and corn and nearly no barley or hops. They used to make a decent seasonal bock years ago that I liked, but it's been gone a long time.
The hipsters drink it for it's retro label. It could taste like carbonated cat pee and they wouldn't care. Come to think of it, at least it would taste like something
