Sounds like an irrational expectation to me

It’sa Honda, not an Audi. It’ll be many more miles until all the warning lights are on

I’m with you. In 7 years of riding, I’ve had many cars attempt to occupy the same space as me, whether out of spite, inattentiveness, or knowing I was more vulnerable and would yield. Whatever the reason, I’ve almost never been surprised, and can think of only a few times that even raised my heart rate. Some of those…

Intentionally, even

Funny thing about the Aztek, I remember being viscerally disgusted by them back when they came out, but now it looks more boring than anything else.

I believe you 100%.

I live in a part of Vermont that is a pretty popular destination for road cyclists. In the summer they are EVERYWHERE. These are generally 50mph state roads with often narrow shoulders and guard rails, and some will ride in packs with the footprint of a large truck, occupying the entire lane at 10mph. Typically a…

My wife drives a Subaru, I used to, and I ride a Harley. That hits so, so close to home.

A few years ago I test drove a v6 Mazda6 (it was an ‘06. Lots of 6es), and my girlfriend (now wife) acted like I was thinking about buying a sports car as my daily driver. Because “Zoom-Zoom”, I guess?

It was within the last couple of years I had the same discovery. And not long before that the same for the Chrysler Sebring. In both cases, I originally thought their point was basically “it may not be fun to drive, but it’s a convertible and that is fun”

I don’t think I’ve ever owned a car with anything that made it food. There was that one Torchinski article asking what car part was the most satisfying to bite, so I guess there’s some precedent.

I’d be happy if my mom bought the only 4 door convertible I can think of that’s available these days.

Did these even come in a color other than beige or as you posted, silver (the new beige)? I can’t think of even having seen a black one, much less a color.

All considered, I suppose it’s not a bad deal

I had a feeling something was missing for a while. My weeks just haven’t been feeling complete. This was it. It had been far too long since I’d read about an imaginary car from an imaginary country.

Eh, you probably won’t. The performance is shit by modern standards, but the motors are pretty bulletproof... if leaky.

I heard marine 2-stroke

OK. Let’s do this.

One step at a time

My wife tends to get pissed off at other drivers for me. She’ll be in the passenger seat berating the moron that can’t hear her, while I just shrug it off. Usually I could tell they were about to make whatever bonehead move they did ahead of time, and have already adjusted speed, lane position, etc.
