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

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...

New car shoppers never really did, though.

The Pacer was known by AMC dealers back in the day as the "Plodder".

The AMC Gremlin was awful ugly too....

I drove my 300SD to the bike store to have my bike worked on and there was a dude who I guess who could be qualified as a hipster who worked there talking to me about my car. He told me of his buddy who bought an old merc diesel and took pride in not fixing anything and was proud of how long he could drive it in disrepair until he finally junked it. I hope the hipsters arent all like that.

Its ok because most of the cars they buy are qualified for parting out anyways. They won't spend the $$ to have a nice example to destroy.

I bought a 220D from a hipster girl from Oakland, the bodyshop next door needed a whole W115 nose. This girl would carry a big block of wood to tap the starter motor ("it sticks ocassionally") and the trunk had some massive holes in it. The hood star, as expected in Oakland, was ripped out. My gosh.

Same here. Sometimes I drink it when I'm low on cash and don't want to pay the atm fee.

Lone Star ain't what it used to be either. I used to like Pearl. I don't think they're brewing anymore. Good thing you've still got Shiner. Shiner has a new summer ale out called Wild Hare. Tasty.

Not all hipsters are bad. I knew a German guy here who had a beautiful astral silver coupe he'd had repainted after he fixed the rest of the car. When he got a job in Germany, he shipped the car home. Some hipsters spoil their cars.
