I didnt know that jccalhoun this is good to know. I agree. 

I agree this is sad on how they keep trying to keep Paul Walker “in the picture” but I think at this point its time to let him go. The ending of Furious 7 was the perfect send off, music, cars going in other directions. Now its no longer an “insider” nod but more of a using of his character which to me is in poor…

Its weird until just a couple of weeks ago I had no idea or interest in Cadillac, or even knew they made anything other than the Escalade then I think I saw an old Cadillac at SEMA on a Youtube channel and decided to see what the brand was up to. When I got to the site I saw the CT4 and CT5 and it surprised me how…

It was my understanding that the Fiat 124 Spider had a different Fiat motor and not a Miata one and only the interior, top and frame are the same as the Miata? Is it really a Miata motor and everything else under the body? If so this looks like a great buy. Miata reliability with Fiat looks.

Is the Alfa Romeo Giulia a good and reliable car to get? There are 2017 and 2018s coming up for sale near me for $17K to $19K with under 50K miles and they are tempting. They look stunning and upscale and exotic to me. However for a long term car I am really worried about reliability and getting affordable parts in…

Seems pretty standard west coast styling to me. I mean even the famous/infamous California West Coast Customs does the blue highlights and accents:

Thank you for being receptive to the perspective and feedback @hoser68. Yes Hawaii has its good and bad. Beautiful weather, in general friendly people and culture and a pretty diverse car scene. Lots of Asian influence as well as a lot of muscle cars and exotics. The down side is cost of living (since everything needs…

I feel that this is very correct @FriscoFairlane, car thefts and stolen car body parts are usually shipped off to Asia and other Pacific islands. We do not have a lot of processing here for such things and not so much demand either so it gets stolen and shipped off to other places. Great Observation!

There is a lot of crime here in Hawaii that goes unreported (large conservative Asian culture that does not wish to bother others tends to promote this). Lots of things get stolen then shipped out by boat to Asia or the US mainland where in Asia there is sometimes higher demand for “US goods”. Here is an example of…

This might be a hot take but as electric cars ramp up to mass adoption I think there is going to be a problem down the road. I think electric cars although great when new are going to be a big problem 20 or more years from now as they age out. Look at 20+ year old Altimas today, they are running because people dump…

As someone who does not like to drive large trucks or SUVs due to lack of daily visibility within 5 to 10 feet in front of the vehicle and finding suitable parking in the city a small car that is easy to park is actually one of the factors that I do consider.

Wait...does this mean that Miata is not always the answer?

I have two, this one back in the day made me want to get a Volvo:

I actually posted the Supra on the actual Jalopnik.com site yet @owen_bellwood choose someone who suggested it on Twitter and didnt even give me credit even with 24 recommendations. At least joint “suggested by:”. I like Jalopnik but if I am going to participate at least make it so voices are heard.

I understand and respect your perspective NeutronStar73 and agree with it, especially the different camps. I was also in the “scene” at the time. From my viewpoint even those with money didnt pick the supra as their first choice, if they did have the money it was either a 300ZX (with lots of JDM mods) or it was a BMW…

*Typo meant 3000GT.

4th Gen Supra. During its time known as a heavy GT (Grand Touring) car and mostly overlooked compared to the FD and NSX and some may even say GT3000 at the time. Only when they got more affordable and you started seeing 1000HP tunes did they start picking up in value and people started wanting them. F&F fame also…

Any insight into why there are no main stream convertible EVs? Both roadsters or 4 seaters/BMW 4 series/Audi A5 cabrio types? One thought I have is that maybe since the batteries are so heavy the “roll over” test with the windshield frame would fail? Any thoughts?

Same no convertible yet.
