Wow 20MPG is pretty good!

This car is not that old but it has NOT aged well. I’ve found myself googling whether there was some other small Honda crossover I forgot about because I used to almost LIKE how this car looks. But compared to the CX3, the CHR, and even the aged Juke it’s just blaaand on blaaaaaand. And I didn’t feel that why when

I had been thinking about one for quite awhile but for the money for a new car I just couldn’t do it because the interior was just not enough of an upgrade over the car (2008 Versa SL lol) I was driving. Recaros and full nav etc were a must in that case, but even then...and then that just balloons the price to areas

Ugh fuck :( I was literally waiting to buy the ST as my first NEW car. Though I had already suspected they wouldn’t be bringing it and got something used/fun in the meantime...but was still hoping they’d bring it!

The reason I didn’t get a current gen ST is that the interior just simply isn’t good enough. And the

I just bought a second-hand stateside European Hot-hatch that’s more interesting than a GTI (well...wagon...not hatch I suppose, but it’s tiny for a wagon.)

Casual Miata just rolls on by.

There’s actually a shortage of Tesla spares, demand currently exceeds supply, meaning these will probably be able to be sold for good money.

Just got a silver car >.< (T5 V50 with a 6 speed...) But this era of Volvo works in Silver IMO. I’m not the biggest fan of silver but was totally fine to find one in this case. Also I highly recommend avoiding Volvo of Palo Alto (they botched the PPI on this car pretty hard.)

The other thing I think people don’t get is that it doesn’t take a lot of track experience to be nailing your up and downshifts pretty consistently, but it takes a TON of track experience to be consistent enough that the tiny bits of time the manual is costing you will actually start to hurt you outside of the normal

Intentional acts of terrorism are categorized differently than aviation disasters.

When the quote says it almost hit 4 wide bodies, why would you then run your hypothetical numbers assuming four narrow bodies?

Yeah the 3 month thing is weird, they should be doing it till they get their next Civic and no longer, which I suppose could be 3 months but is usually more like a few weeks. But THAT Civic probably has a $12k markup on it.

Pretty common for dealers to keep in-demand customer cars as demo/showroom cars for a short period of time. Once they get the next car she’ll get hers and the next customer will wait. It’s not ideal but it’s what you’re signing up for when you order a low volume car right away. It’s also nice because people like us

2nd gear redlines at 60MPH in a 90s Miata dude.

It’s got a cap on it and is slightly recessed and is only like 10mm and easy to miss. I was just in my rear brakes yesterday and was like: why won’t this swing up...OH the handbrake is on duh. I once had a rear caliper that would not swing up far enough no matter what due to being just completely seized at the upper

What year is your Miata? On my NA you do not have to detach the rear caliper from the bracket to put in new pads, just to put in new rotors. There is one bolt/pin on bottom and then you swing the caliper up and slide it off the bracket (which then gives you full access to pads.) then two bolts on the back to remove

Did you have the handbrake on while trying to swing the caliper up?

Arpeggio all day.

Nespresso on the other hand requires I give them my soul but it’s worth it.

28mm probably not wide enough on an APS-C cam. For APS-C something cheap but good like Tokina 11-16mm might be good. I’m spoiled by work’s 16-35mm L.
