Sad that this 20 year old model of a long discontinued car is far more appealing than anything Infiniti sells now. They used to be interesting, but boy, that hasn’t been true in a long while. 

To be fair, the 1st-gen M45 was a pretty fantastic car, and I still love the way it looks.

You okay?

“The +2 seats are to bring down insurance rates.”

The GM “suicidal robot” ad from the 2007 Super Bowl:

The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato ad might be one of the worst, at least in recent memory. The whole thing feels like it was generated by an AI engine, from the inexplicable dirt snowboarding to the insufferable pseudo-rap vomit spewing out of what is the textbook definition of ‘tool’. The whole thing is so painful to…

They were at least pretty sharp looking.

To be fair, they asked for something fun, reliable, & sporty, then immediately eliminated the cars most known for those qualities.

My wedding ring(s) are Tungsten-Carbide with a diamond chip. It was $80 at Overstock, or you could overpay at roughly $500 in a handful of jewelry stores I saw the exact same ring in.

Probably because the word sounds sexy. People buy wedding rings as an alternative to gold, if I remember correctly.

His car collection eventually became a mental illness. So many amazing cars utterly destroyed by being left out in the jungle - you read stories of Ferrari F50s with the interior entirely melted from the heat and humidity. 

I don’t think most people that care forget/ignore it. It’s usually part of nearly every discussion I’ve seen online about Toyota’s alternative fuel plans.

I know it is not the point of the article, but the Mirai is a great looking car with elegant, sporty proportions and if you swap out the hydrogen powerplant for Toyota’s i-force turbo-4 or TTV6, it would make a great Lexus GS. It is a shame that people only buy SUVs and lifted wagons/hatches nowadays because the…

Toyota needs to create an EV conversion kit for the Mirai. That would be less wasteful than selling cars that cannot, for most intents and purposes, be driven.

This just crossed my timeline (courtesy @oregonrolleda20.bsky.social):

It’s engineered to benefit the vehicle manufacturer most, not the final consumer. Like you implied, many of the goals of the manufacturer directly are bad for the consumer.

My hot take, which I have said over and over and over again: if we want more cool little sports cars, we need better public transit.

I’ve harped on the issue before, and how people are so blithely unconcerned about the sheer weight of EVs crunching asphalt and buckling bridges. You think America’s roads and highways are crap now? Wait’ll the cumulative effects of EVs pounding them takes hold.

The BRZ exists and is happy to fulfill your needs without paying the Porsche tax.  Though you will have to learn to vape.
