I have the opposite opinion. I think they are fucking tired and awful.

Wait, isn’t using random-ass German in their branding a Japanese thing? They copied more than the car’s design, methinks.

Yeah, but the RX-8 was just a subversive program by the oil industry to keep the gas station oil top-off alive.

It’ll be fine, being a state capital and having a significant part of the economy based on healthcare specialists. Everybody around it is fucked, though. Then again, they’ve already been fucked since the ‘80s/’90s; it’s just been a slow glide down.

“Good luck in the future when cashiers are replaced entirely! You’re likely to have a melt down in the next 10-15 years.

Yeah. I didn’t run into any car that couldn’t start in 2nd until I got my current Mazda 2 with its long-ass 2nd gear. I mean, you can barely start in second, but you either have to give it a ton of gas and burn the clutch a bit, or let the clutch shudder or engine nearly stall.

I don’t support a $15 minimum wage - just one tied to inflation. Still, stop pretending a $15 minimum wage was going to bring in automated kiosks and robots. Those things are going to show up soon anyway.

I’m not sure. The last time I researched the topic was at least three transmissions ago.

That sounds like the price tag of an automated system that will interface with whatever control/reporting systems they have in place to tweet out status updates and such. I’d say that’d be the price of a custom solution, but when you have such a niche piece of software, the vendor can charge whatever they want for it.

Most def. I don’t even live in a high population area, and my local craigslist has at least one nice-ass Trinitron/Wega per month.

That’s odd. You’d think most IT security folks worth their salt would want a vehicle that didn’t have any wireless communications.

It’s a fun car, definitely. Sadly for mine, I have an eye on a BRZ, 86, Fiesta ST, or a Miata. She’s served me well, though.

But it needs to be shouting “１１.２９ ＯＮ ＳＡＬＥ！！！”

I gotcha. That’s totally fair. College is great. I think part of the problem is that we as as society have an attitude that if you don’t go to college, you’re a sack of shit. That couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Hey, I was a fork truck driver for a few years. It’s one of my favorite jobs I’ve ever had. Didn’t pay enough for my personal tastes, though. It did, however, pay alright for the area.

The new Type R looks so ridiculous that this looks really good.
