The thing is that to those people, it’s more like being told that the HotWheels you want to buy costs $1.33, instead of $0.99. Like, are you really going to walk away from a HotWheels car you REALLY want over 34 cents? That IS 1/3 MORE than you were hoping to spend, but... it’s 33 cents.

There are plenty of reasons for this:

NVH: Modern cars are much quieter, and much more comfortable. The less vibrations, and noise, and “sensations of speed” you get, then the slower it will feel. It’s the reason why it’s so easy to speed when you rent a luxury car that rides so smoothly and quietly.

Visibility: Modern…

I’m sure someone who actually knows what they are talking about will chime in, but everything I’ve read on these kinds of things leads me to believe that the space simply gets filled with spinal fluid.

Well... as far as the accident and getting out of the plane... nobody on the ground probably did much of anything. The aircraft crashed unexpectedly immediately after takeoff. I doubt a single emergency vehicle arrived before all of the passengers had gotten out.

Tires are definitely NOT the best bank for your buck on the track. Pads and fluid, and the ability to run some camber would be FAR better upgrades for sure. I absolutely agree with you on that.

I just like having good rubber on my car. Just because I didn’t crash my BRZ left and right on the stock tires, doesn’t mean I…

We will have to agree to disagree. I know plenty of people who would disagree with a lot of what you just said. My current vehicle is a great example. The stock tires (215 section width) were hydroplaning champions at even moderate speeds, and had very little wet weather grip overall. My replacements, despite being…

It has nothing to do with track driving. Good tires also significantly improve wet weather grip, hydroplaning resistance, stopping distance, accident avoidance ability. Arguably, the street requires a better tier of tire than the track does.

Physical Mod: Tires. Anyone who says otherwise is a lying sumbitch, or did the wrong first modification.

Overall Mod: Driver mod. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know that they suck at driving.

Don’t put words in his mouth.

I had 55,000 miles on my completely unprotected black plastic lip on my lowered BRZ (before I smashed it on a snow bank.) It looked fine. Black plastic is not paint. It doesn’t wind up with unsightly chipped off paint that shows underlying metal or plastic. It just wears. The plastic is black. Chips are black. You’d…

Wired isn’t necessarily flawless, but at the end of the day you just need to buy what is right for you. I’ve had wired and wireless headphones. I always stuck with wired because I didn’t want to deal with charging, or loss of audio quality.

But my current set is wireless. They last 35 hours on a charge (these are…

What is wrong with the comparison? If it is a medical requirement, then what’s wrong with making that comparison? Is it stupid to compare an oxygen tank to a wheelchair? How about a catheter? They are things some people need due to medical/physiological issues.

Just because I'm not handicapped doesn't mean I don't know people who are, and who feel the same way I do.

This disabled thing is honestly a little bit bullshit. You’ve never seen a handicapped person parking in a handicapped spot who didn’t look “perfectly fine” to someone who didn’t know they had a condition like MS? People get a LOT more pissed off over that than they will about someone asking for a plastic straw that…

Because removing straws takes almost NO effort compared with whatever packaging changes you have in mind. And removing straws doesn’t hurt disabled people if they still make them available upon request.

OMG. Ours does the same thing. We have two bedrooms upstairs, with the doors next to each other. We sleep in one, and she claws at the other one, which is the only room in the house that she isn’t allowed in. Putting a towel along the bottom doesn’t help, since she just yanks it out of the way, and both of us are…

You’ve gotta start somewhere. This is a relatively easy thing to implement. Not sure why you’re so annoyed by it. Even THIS simple change is pissing a lot of people off.

You're thinking of the Civic Type R, not the Chiron. The Chiron is much more elegant on the outside.

No, and it wasn’t supposed to be faster than a standard BRZ. The version I bought was the Series.Blue, which came with a lovely interior (blue leather and Alcantara, and blue stitching) to match the exterior, along with some other features, and a full STI exterior kit (front lip, skirts, spats, and black STI wheels…

Whoa. You’ve stumbled upon something mind-blowing. It’s almost as if this car wasn’t targeting the demographic of people who need more horsepower to ENJOY a car! *GASP!*
