She was probably in her 40s or 50s. People in their 20s are notoriously bad at guessing the age of normal, non-surgically enhanced people over 45. I’ve benefited from this a few times, as young clerks/cashiers looked at me and automatically gave me a “senior discount” (and people my age all think I look 10 years…

It’s the “poor man’s Ferrari”. And when you see them used, Ferraris all have low mileage.

Like any exotic, a Vette is wasted as a street car because you might as well have a Fiesta ST for all the speed the law and safety allow you on public twisty roads.

Could be made of plastic. Doesn’t really have to be made of anything else except for the motor and electrics. It doesn’t have to survive a car crash.

You could also design things like the fuel tanks on the transit and descent modules and other pieces that won’t be used again, to be elements of the rover upon landing.…

How many car models could the mini-hot-hatch market support? That whole market segment is mostly in cities with tight street parking. If you add another choice, it might just cannibalize the existing market, rather than extend it.

So...Up! GTI or Fiesta ST?

Time Magazine nailed it.

He’s probably the first European monarch ever to earn an honest living. Just another reason to love the Netherlands.

No they don’t. They look like outdated hatches from the 80s with their edges rounded.

Can you get a current model 2 door Focus ST in Europe?

I’ve had mine since late 2012, and I still love the hell out of it. Wish I had the newer version of the Sync system tho...

Streetcars exist in modern society, even though buses are a cheaper solution, for the simple reason that middle class people won’t ride buses. I won’t.

Still not the old show, and GT is better. But it’s good enough.

As someone who isn’t a big Porsche fan, it seemed like TG this season might as well be called the “Porsche Show.” Harris’s Porsche fanaticism, with a willing partner in LeBlanc, gets really tired after a couple of shows.

United should stop expecting the public to give them the benefit of the doubt. As far as I’m concerned, everything United does is about their profits over their passengers, and every word they say is a lie unless there’s video to prove otherwise. There is zero reason to ever trust them.

Refugees from a totalitarian religious regime?

When the price of oil goes up, if there’s any weakness in the economy, it almost always triggers a recession. Look up when the last time we had 8 straight years of growth was. It always breaks sometime around when the economy is like it is today: big cars and trucks, real estate at a never before seen peak in areas…

The Focus ST is a quick car for the street. Fun, practical, economical and about $12K cheaper than an RS. Best all around car I’ve ever had, and I’m on something like my 15th car.

The RS simply has more power than I’ll ever use. I wouldn’t have minded paying an extra $2500 for AWD on my FoST, but the FWD rarely bugs…

As crossovers go, the Subaru is certainly one of the most rugged. And you say “just a lifted Legacy wagon” like that’s a bad thing. We live where there is lots of rain and mud, where a parking lot becomes offroading, and the clearance comes in handy.

Also, with that flat four and a generally very low COG, it handles…

Of the cars mentioned, the Subaru will be the most fun and have the best resale value.

If resale value wasn’t a factor, I’d go with the Focus RS. Which has an unknown resale value, but it might turn out to be pretty high.

GM’s debt to equity ratio is about 1.9 compared to Tesla’s 1.5. Also, Tesla has an enviable patent portfolio compared to GM.

4600 miles per hour is also the slowest those types of projectiles will be fired from this first ever military railgun. They expect future versions to achieve much higher speeds.
