...aren’t those spots used for fog lights anyway?

We should be putting our faith and trust in Jesus because science and scientist can and will fail you.

I agree with your comments. FWIW, I am 65 years old and have never owned a four door sedan and would never consider buying one. All of our vehicles have been coupes, 3- or 5-door hatches, and vans (Yes, we are child-free). Cadillac will never build the ideal luxury hatchback I described. Maybe Mazda or Honda/Acura,…

You start talking about 700 hp, where in the hell can I use that other than going directly to jail?...

I needed a car that day...the real deal breaker was the delivery time.

The reality is dealers care about inventory turn above all else.

No matter what the 0-60 times are and how many gs it can pull, it’s still a luxury auto that should make my tush and back feel good. And shifting just doesn’t seem to fit into what I see out of such a vehicle.

Her first car was a ‘78 Civic wagon with a four-speed manual, but she hasn’t owned a manual-transmission car since then.

It’s really just the people who have gotten their license this century who have had a LOT less opportunity to learn to drive a stick. Before that, many, many more cars were sold that way.

Thanks for your reply. I have never been in a position to have acquired a company car, nor would I ever consider leasing unless I could write it off as a business expense, which will also never happen. I generally buy-to-own for at least six to eight years or more; either buying new or lightly used.

“[A] god put it all together”: You could not pay me enough to live in an intellectually benighted “bible belt” location.

I’ve had a 75-mile round trip commute for most of the last 8 years. Have done it in 6 different cars...

People always wrongly assume the C30 is a fun to drive hot hatch...

Neutral: ‘64 GTO. ‘69 Z-28. ‘69 Trans Am. ‘88-91 CRX Si. ‘04-05 Civic Si 3 door hatch. All with three pedals, of course.

Congratulations for cleaning up your place after the previous vehicle sell-off. I’m hoping for a “David Tracy moves to a different property with a bigger garage” article by Spring 2021.

Now divide that money by how many hours it took you start to finish.

Thank you for your comments and the BITOG link. You have given me a lot to think about. My “DD” which used to be driven 6500 miles/year before I retired, has now gone 7K over two years and I was jolted into action when the “5% oil life remaining” message popped up. This car has a turbocharged I4 and I’m…

I’ve specifically studied and lab tested automotive fluid properties and specifically degradation over time/use. I would change your oil more frequently.

...a good time to have a quick look at everything else under there while I’m at it.

I’m hoping “a couple” is code for I really don’t remember.
