This^^ Seems like a lot of over reaction over a tune and some sporty sound. It’s not like the cats were deleted. I’ve done some sort of mod to every vehicle I’ve owned and they’ve never magically disintegrated into bro dust, and they usually sound better, bring aural joy to the driving experience. Lot of pearl…

Go easy on the owner. The V6 in this car sounds incredible, and the factory exhaust is too quiet. And what about the owner wanting more power is a hallmark of a “bro racer douche”? Have you ever modified a car? 

Easy NP. The supercharged V6 in these cars sounds gnarly, but the factory exhaust is far too quiet on XE models, which explains the resonator delete. The only thing I don’t like (and I really don’t like it) is the black wheels. What a garbage fad. And as far as the ECU flash goes... I would love to see the Venn…

7th Gen Elantra doesn’t offer a hatch. It came out last year. 

I don’t follow Epicurious’ work, but I think this is a key takeaway from their article, especially knowing how mad certain folk will be getting:

GM is also taking this approach with their latest vehicles and EVs. This is the Lyriq.

Came here to say that this clearly feels like benchmarking of Mazda.

Looks like Mazda’s approach is taking off.

I’m not convinced about the Edam and caramel sauce but the jamon con queso crema referenced in that YouTube vid sounds really good.

I was thinking, short-lived spinoff series about Knight Rider’s working-class cousin.

Have you ever gone to a rally? Outside of the works teams it’s full of amateur rich guys (not all of them old) just having fun doing their hobby.

“Public roads not built to be raced on” describes basically every rally stage in existence

24 year old, 2WD, underpowered econobox with 165, 000 miles on it.

I absolutely fucking love this thing. The two tone bright red to neutral grey with the hard top is just beautiful.

I guess I’m alone here in thinking that $35k is actually a good price for a nice looking 300hp, 6 speed manual, widebody, hatchback, homologation, rwd biased-capable AWD, brand new car.... with a warranty. 

Eye roll. People just have to bitch.

Probably the best thing “regular” thing I’ve eaten is curry. That’s one of the things I order when I fly TPAC (trans-pacific) to Asia or flying around Southeast Asia. Curry usually tastes better after aging a bit and it does well with being reheated. Another plus is that the spices do a better job of conveying flavor…

It is not gross. It is patina that makes the coffee better.
