No, the time to extol the virtues of winter tires is in October/November, when people will get the benefit of them all winter.

What about having a manual transmission?

Yep, look up “Michigan left.” You can turn left on red if turning into a divided highway.

They aren’t speed “limits.” More like speed “guidelines”.

Come drive by the GM Tech Center in Warren. I’ve been on better roads in third world countries.

You got that Domenicali quote wrong. The full quote is:

More reasons to be happy about my 2020 Si.

Thanks! I see no reason to change from my 2020 Si, then; this does not look like much of an improvement.

Do I think about it?

Well, this won’t end well. Unless you’re in the water pump business.

Definitely simple spec cars (Spec Miata, anyone?). Sprint road race, team endurance road race (say four hours, two drivers), and an off-road rally event -- I’d assume different spec cars, but it would be kind of run to run with the same cars as the road race and combine the three events into an overall series.

Great theme! Bring it on! Can’t go vintage racing without the vintage apparel, vintage tools, vintage livery, vintage ads ...

No fix for that “wanted to be a Saab 900, but was afraid to go all the way” hood design?

So based on the specs, it’s basically a restyled 2020-21 Civic, with fewer options (no manual, no Si)?

Toss up between Wawa and Sheetz ... but then strange things are always afoot at the Circle K.

Mitsubishi 3000GT.

(1) The automotive holy grail is *not* brown in color, diesel, manual, and a station wagon.

Of course Tesla’s close to Level 5. Level 2 is only three short steps away. That’s close!

We find a dremel with sanding disc is more reliable than clippers. It does take some practice; you must keep the dog’s paw hair trimmed so you don’t risk getting hair caught in the dremel.

If any of this actually worked, it would be so heavily classified it would never see the light of day. The fact that these have been filed as normal public patents should tell you something.
