The Hyundai Kona seems to be the better buy in terms of being more of a driver’s car (according to publications.)

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the CX-3 especially since we don’t get the 2 in the states. The problem is that it’s over priced. You can get a Mazda 3 hatch with more space, more power, and better mileage...for less money. 

Mazda: start putting the Turbo engine in everything plz. 

How was the insurance payout on a 997 4S cab only $40k? 

Just get the damn GTI. 

1. Heated seats....maybe? I’d rather have ventilated which is so hard to find in most cars.

It is addressed and fairly well. They even cover forced labor, etc. 

It would’ve been respectful to explain the story at a museum that covers this subject.

I couldn’t help but notice how Mercedes beats around the bush about this crash at their museum in Stuttgart. They all but ignore it. It’s vaguely alluded to in some far off corner of one audio guide track. Meanwhile they put the cars proudly on display and they just kind of stop at 1955 and they say “when Mercedes…

I have both a Miata and a GTI so I’m just a paragon of automotive virtue I suppose. 

If you’re going 200KPH your priority isn’t fuel efficiency. Move over, brake, go back left, accelerate. Enjoy the car. 

Since everyone in the slower lanes gives appropriate following distance I found it relatively simple to step over into the slower lane to let a faster car by even when passing 10 cars because those 10 cars are all observing correct spacing and I don’t need to slow down much in the time I’m in that lane before going…

I’ve been to Germany and drove several hundred miles and in that time I never got mad at a single driver for how they were driving. If someone in Germany is coming up behind you at 200KPH and flashing their lights you should move over. 

My Miata pretty much only sees track use and it doesn’t have a hardtop and isn’t even particularly low or modified. Stock powertrain, soft-top, roll bar, mild suspension (been meaning to upgrade to some good coilovers but I’m still finding time out there), NT-01s. Track it quite a few times a year and very few street…

Yes, oodles of them at the overpriced factory museum outside Modena. They’re HUGE. 

If anyone here has never seen a Pagani in person allow me to rant for a moment about just how freaking BIG they are. Like...look at that top down shot and imagine a Miata overlaid on it. It could fit inside the Pagani. They’re BOATS. Speed boats sure, but they look and feel like BOATS.

Ah yes, Gen X. The generation famous for apathy who helped set the stage for our current predicaments by redefining the youth as feckless, lazy, and unengaged in the eyes of the olds. Any surprise they’ve ignored us for so long? They’ve had a generation of training to do it. Thanks Gen X. Keep on not giving a fuck.

Can we get the Citron C4 Cactus?

I have a 2018 GTI and a ‘95 Miata. Both are absolutely fine in the usual freeway traffic. The totally stopped bridge plaza traffic is a little more annoying but still better than taking the trip in an auto.

SF Bay Area traffic I drive a manual. It’s more fun that way.
