That’s kinda the thing though. It’s removing one aspect of things you have to do so that the actual racing is the interesting part. I promise I’ll never drive a GT3, manual or DCT. And I appreciate choosing my gear changes, which are more fun on the street with a stick. But during my Lemons races, a simple sequential…

How many coupes does MB make? Why turn this into a Panamera? Thanks, but no thanks..

More manual transmissions are always a good thing, but this one is a little odd. On the one hand, I love the 5 speed in my 15 year old simpleton mustang. But if I ever bought a GT3, I would absolutely buy it with flappy paddles. It’s just faster, if less emotional. And why would you pay that much for a car and not get…

Please do NOT learn how to drive stick, and I would suggest avoiding the life of crime as well.

It’ll be interesting to see how the past decade of increasing regulations have affected consumers’ expectations and buying preferences.

I bought a $400 Neon off craigslist once upon a time. Leaky main seal. Lasted long enough, but very thirsty for oil. Lesser means back then. Very happy to be done with that. I have another project now, but more means and no reliance on the car for day-to-day.

I wasn’t intending to. I meant that a naive customer doesn’t understand low end torque. And if they feel power is lacking, they’re more likely to go up in size rather than a different configuration. So there’s limited incentive for manufacturers to put the money into a V4.

$98 may not be the most expensive, but it certainly is bad..

$98 for a pair of jeans.. Dafuq is wrong with you people..

I don’t disagree. But on paper and sitting in a showroom, there’s no reason for John Squid to buy one.

I’m tired of ignorance being a strength in politics. Cajones are hard to come by..

Now THAT is a niche market..

Having access to a car at your discretion is great. But if you live in a city, you shouldn’t need a car very often. And if you live in a city, what’s wrong with Enterprise?

I’ve got a 99 VFR. It’s a lovely engine. But its 800ccs have about the same power as a 600cc CBR. And like you said, it’s heavier (not a bad thing for a tourer). The V4 is very niche between a V or parallel twin and an inline 4

You already made the argument: V4s are shorter than I4s. That’s about it, right? Maybe a little more torque? For a car, that shorter engine isn’t really a big deal; not when you’re talking about a few inches (that’s NOT what she said). And if you want torque, you have plenty of V8s to choose from. But for a…

Neutral: Whatever. I don’t rent appliances month to month. This is extreme commercialism, though it’s hard to fault GM for catering to a market that just shouldn’t exist..

I lack the energy to care about people being disappointed after flocking to 45's beckon call.

2015 Subaru Legacy, IIHS top safety pick. Used prices are less than $20k.

I know. :) Just odd to see these days.

As I understand, CO2 can be dissolved into water, as happens slowly in nature. This will result in the buildup of carbon deposits, resulting in rock formation (white cliffs of Dover). Carbon-rich water is also slightly acidic, which I imagine has some benefit in fracking, and assume this is along the lines of what…
