Those years at Finnishing School weren’t for nothing.

there’s a crowd of people filming this on their phones, we get the footage from the one guy who shot it on a 90s camcorder

The trick is holding down the R button until the smoke clouds turn orange, then release for a power boost. Just make sure to dodge any banana peels on the track

“Think about how many situation would have been de-escalated before they started.”

Let’s just be thankful 007 isn’t a mermaid.

Alain de Cadenet. He’s a hella famous car guy journalist. Like you.

I think they should make a series with front mounted literbike engines, but otherwise like formula v. I think they'd be a hoot to drive, they'd sound amazing, and they'd be fun to watch.

I think they really did nail the styling, in fact I actually think Kia has some of the best styling of late but that’s because I like how it’s a subdued style. Not overly aggressive, more......assertive. This styling I think it will also age better than the Hyundai equivalents.

My takeaway surprise is it “only” weighs 4255lbs.

Yay for brown interiors! Kia has an amazing array of neat interior choices (3 browns!) but dealers are only picking black to fill their lots. It’s infuriating! And I’m not even planning on buying anything for a few years. Seriously, dealers, wake up! Give the people the amazing browns, tans, greys, and off whites they…

Plus, it’s not like it’s ever been good to drive. It’s too heavy and wobbly to drive like a proper sports car, not enough power and not even close to enough storage to feel like a GT car, and you sit so deep inside of it that it just kinda feels like it engulfs you further isolating you from the driving experience.

My local classic rock station, lately, has been playing quite a bit of Metallica. Fair enough, they put out some good stuff during the ‘80s.

Are we calling engine swaps "bolt-on" now? I mean, you may not be notching the frame or welding new mounts, but it's still a damn engine swap. 

I have this argument at home all the time! My wife says I'm old, I say I'm a classic. Either way, we both agree I'm bloated, and way overdue for a refresh.

People have been pointing out this distinction for decades, but I don’t recall general agreement on the definition of classic ever being reached. Around the time I graduated from high school in 1963, I remember an article or column in a car magazine which stated authoritatively stated that only cars from the Brass Age…

Even the bros have moved on to the Infiniti G37 coupes.

Bring back the S chassis, the current ones that are on the used market are starting to get pretty “long in the tooth”. The current ones (S15) are starting to get close to the prices of what a new one would be, Plus the GT86 could do with a competitor. 

That Prowler.  It was just 2 cylinders away, and it could have been a contender. 

Oh, I should add that (4) Alanis’ take on pizza is horrible and disturbing.
