I’m waiting for release info on the new Subaru WRX STI and Toyota Corolla GR.  The new Nissan Z is pretty appealing too but I need a useable back seat.

My RX-8's: Obviously the rotary engine is the number one talking point. People also like to point out the suicide rear doors. Other nerdy-things I’ll point out is how the ‘rotor’ is integrated into the design-asthetics through the car. It’s in the seats, hood, bumpers and a few other spots.

Their garbage CVT is the sole reason why I won't consider any new Subaru product. And that's quite the shame because that new Outback with the turbo engine and wilderness package would be #1 on my list of daily-drivers.

I own a ‘21 Veloster N and this was a topic of discussion in the VN owners FB group. While I absolutely love the car (much more than the ‘16 STI that I traded in for it) I wouldn’t have even paid full sticker price for it let alone this absolute joke of a price.

As an avid Autocrosser, I just spent my weekend at my very first SCCA National Championship Tour event: The Finger Lakes Championship Tour. It was great seeing just how fast these National Champion drivers can be! Sam Strano in John Vitamas’ 2.3 MZR Turbo RX-8 challenges the laws of physics with the things it does!

I have tried to find the article for some time, but I remember an in-depth article from back in the 90's in a Car and Driver magazine about the insane rate of carjackings that happen in South Africa and how they had these specialized police pursuit teams where the passenger-officer was hooked up into the harness where…

1980. If I stay domestic and affordable, I’m left with some bad choices. My daily would be a toss-up between an AMC Eagle:

Holy shit that’s a lot off. I just bought my DCT Veloster N for $2700 under MSRP but with a rather insane trade in amount of almost 3k over KBB trade in value on my STI. And this was the first DCT-equipped Veloster N available within 150miles of me (Buffalo NY). It was one of the easiest deals I have ever gone through…

Funny story about this:

My chief automotive resolution is to build my own website and re-publish all of my lost work from Oppositelock.

Congrats on the call up to the Big-Leagues! Well deserved!

*checks other sources*

IF you haven’t seen yet, Petrov has stepped down from his Steward-duties for the weekend with F1 citing ‘personal bereavment’ as the reason, lol. I’m sure it had nothing to do with this backlash.....

Very good read! I just can’t wrap my head around what it must be like to drive such a lightweight, powerful car.

If being competitive at TT and autocross is a top priority, I think the best choice is a Civic Type-R.

All it needs is the mention of some step-family member.

Yeah, there was definitely a failure in the system somewhere. I deal with trains and train traffic on a regular basis and the area I work has automated ‘High and Wide’ detectors that broadcast an automated message as the train passes a certain point as they are entering an area with a number of tunnels and underpasses.…

Hmm..... Is this like, part time work? I can’t commit full-time to writing but this might be an opportunity to take my writing a bit more seriously.

Just a fun thing to point out that next week’s race that they will be using even softer, faster wearing tires. Sunday’s race used the C1, C2, and C3 compounds and this upcoming race is planning to have the C2 C3 and C4 compounds according to F1

Im pretty set on a 2021 Veloster N to replace my 2016 STI and the seats are the main reason I’m waiting.
