I agree with you. The Nav/audio system in my ‘16 4Runner was trash (maybe more so than most new cars). I would have preferred to receive the truck with an empty hole in the dash and a $1k discount.

Especially considering interior amenities are not at all the focus of the 86.

“The steel gray, $25,000ish tester I drove early on didn’t even have navigation, which I think is kind of a crime for any new car in 2019.”

Thanks for the lengthy reply. Sounds like a pretty good car to own and being a 2006 that is no spring chicken. Iwould be putting probably 15K on a year. I feel like this is going to the top 3 of my short list.

If you want to take a grinder to the body of the car in most of the vent locations.... then sure. Most of the vents have hard metal blocking flow to them even if you remove the fake plastic 

Hey, just an FYI, you didn’t drive “Summit Point” (referring to their main circuit). You drove Shenandoah, which is much smaller/tighter. Worth updating the article as only cracking 100 on Summit Main would make the car Miata-slow.

I don’t like it, but I am glad they didn’t go full tilt boogie with it. We don’t need another LFA, NSX or GTR that only a select few can buy, that you’ll hardly ever see on the road. This is well within budget for millions of people. They could have resurrected the Supra nameplate and built another $100-200k halo car,…

Those cars were fine in the marketplaces they competed in. The current four-bangers are not.

Ahem. Beetles with loud exhausts sound rowdy as hell, which the new cars just...don’t? They’re kinda quiet. Someone needs to straight-pipe these new turbo fours for science.

Heritage doesn’t mean shit when it’s worse than what replaced it.

Yeah, this was clearly a combination of David and Dan receiving a bullet point from Martin, having Star Wars money so they don’t need to do this shit any more, and just deciding to phone it in.

The funny thing is, on a basic level, I have no problem with Dany losing another dragon. But the fact that the entire sequence, from the first bolt, to Rhaegal falling into the water, takes like 20 seconds, tops is just lazy as fuck.

I think it’s time to admit Euron is the greatest military mind in Westeros just for the fact that he scouts out the area prior to battles.

I suppose the answer would/should be that Dany’s dragons are more vulnerable since they are still fairly young, but the show hasn’t really done anything to establish that. Instead, we just have to accept that the big, laser-guided crossbows alone are enough to do the trick.

They didn’t source “an engine” though, they sourced an entire car. It only shames Toyota if you buy into the in-house engineering of performance vehicles is good for the breed.

I once postulated that Mazda was beginning to move their brand up-market and that they should apply their SkyActive technology to larger, higher cylinder count engines and I was mocked. The exact comment, if I remember correctly, was “Is this satire?” Still too early to pat myself on the back, but I’ll do it anyway.

I justify it to myself by thinking the dragon had been weakened by the battle with the ice dragon and was more vulnerable. Then again, if that’s the case, then Danny’s even dumber for not taking time to recover in Winterfell before she marched.

I am hoping (probably stupidly) that the whole scorpion thing is a fake out and the dragon is not dead, because them being able to kill a dragon so easily and so improbably was really just lazy and dumb.

While I completely agree with the majority of, and laughed a lot, on the answer about the insanely bad military tactics used in this show, I have to defend Daenarys on losing her dragon in that ambush. It is easy to sit here and criticize, but before that moment no one knew that Cersei’s side had not only managed to…
