Like I said, it has lost some of the value proposition. But it was a rather insane value when it first came out. And aside from the new Corvette, there still aren’t many cars that compare in terms of performance per dollar.

Also, a LOT of kids had CB radios in their cars and trucks at my high school. Granted, these weren't the most fashionable or sophisticated individuals I've ever known (I've been racoon hunting with some of these guys, if that gives you an idea). But you're not alone. 

You nearly hit the nail on the head. I was already a man when I got the bright idea to install an android tablet into my dash as the head unit. Connected to the hot spot on my phone and basically had Android Auto before that was even a thing. Even had a custom OS build that was specifically for vehicle use, including…

3rd: The Z isn’t the only thing Nissan has in their performance quiver. It may be a little bit long in the tooth, and may have lost some of its value proposition over the years, but the GT-R is still a rather formidable car.

Out of curiosity, what do you do on a daily basis that would preclude vehicle 1 from being an EV? Even with the mileage listed, I would be surprised if you regularly drove more than a hundred miles each way without passing a charger.

I think that's a little simplistic. The average transaction price for new cars is significantly skewed by the number of larger SUVs, crossovers, and trucks sold in the US. While I doubt you could actually find one at the price, a Kia Telluride starts at $4k less than a Leaf Plus SL. A Corolla Cross starts almost $20k…

I don’t necessarily blame the girl. It’s not easy to make decisions when you’re ill. Shit, when I have a normal flu, all I want to do is sleep.

While you certainly touch on a ridiculous problem in this country, I would rather pay a bill for the rest of my life than to be able to count the rest of my life on my fingers. 

I’m not sure why the re-use of the basic platform is a bad thing. It works. People liked those cars. They’ve upgraded pretty much everything that makes the 370 feel old and tired. New engine, new interior (even if the hard points are the same), new (gorgeous, IMO) design, updated suspension, etc.

Definitely the most bang when the hockey mom in the new Tahoe clips you while crossing three lanes because she was texting instead of looking for her exit.

1st Gear: Hyundai and Rimac always seemed like strange bedfellows to me. The closest thing to a performance car in Hyundai’s portfolio is the Veloster N, or maybe the G70. What can they really gain from Rimac that applies to their sales demographic?

I'm not sure you understand how math works. 

I think it's nice enough, but all I could think of when I saw one was how much of a shame it was that they lifted it up those extra couple of inches. 

Saw my first one Friday. It was all blacked out, so I had to get closer than I should have been to see the logo. I thought it was a 2 when I saw the tail lights, but you have to confirm these things. 

“but name another with a 155 MPH top speed going for a similar price”

If you're spending someone else's money, sure. But would you take it over an RC-F and $40,000?

What does the extra $30-40k buy you in the LC that you don’t get in the RC-F? I am considering the latter for my next car, and I'm wondering whether a 6-figure Lexus not named LFA is worth the money. 

The cars themselves have no character. Groaning engines with laggy CVTs. Barely any updates to the design over the years.

This really doesn’t change Twitter at all for me. I’m pretty sure it’s not a profitable company, so Musk losing a bit of money is a positive side effect.

I don’t put that on the writers so much as on management cutting expenses while also demanding the kind of content that exists exclusively for revenue generation (so many slide shows).
