Our’s isn’t that bad; It’s paved the whole way but it’s twisty which tends to freak out the city-folk. I drive it daily in a 135i which isn’t exactly known for it’s off-roading prowess. We definitely have friends that won’t visit because the road up scares them though. The left turn at the end of it is what really

We have a similar problem in our neighborhood during the summer months. The main road through the neighborhood runs parallel to the only highway through the area.   When the highway backs up people start going down our twisty mountain road which dips down to one lane in a few places. At the end of it, they need to

Isn’t this the only answer. Everything in sardine-class is just varying degrees of awful.

Oh god, the forehead!

I notice you didn’t include a front-dead-on photo....

Unless there’s a hard median, then yeah, you’re supposed to let the peds cross entirely. Meanwhile, the jerk behind you is honking his horn because you’re not going.

I was just thinking about car colors on the road this morning. It ranged from “I’m sorry for being red” to “This thimble of blue pigment needs to last the entire production run” The only cars I saw that were “colors” were the two Prius Cs that were green and orange.

My god, that thing is hideous! The intersection of pedestrian safety standards and less need for cooling is not going to be kind to designers.

I stand corrected. Somehow it’s even more disappointing knowing that there’s an in-the-metal one and it’s still not happening.

Because they’re expensive to develop (I’m 99% certain that picture is a render, so it didn’t even make it to the concept car stage) and the market size is small for them, so the only real reason to have one in the lineup is as a halo car. CAFE probably doesn’t help since the buyers tend to want something zippy which

Seconded. That’s a damn fine looking tourer...

Youtube is becoming less attractive for me as a consumer by the day. I have YouTube RED because I do the google play music thing. It’s pretty much the only reason I haven’t moved to Apple Music. Youtube is basically a Roadkill and MCM delivery vector for me at this point, losing one of those is disappointing.

Why is getting complements on your car a negative?

From personal experience: An intact serpentine belt is much easier to replace than digging what feels like 5 miles of fiberglass belt reinforcement out of your engine bay...

Please don’t let it be a crossover.... I need some Japanese insanity back in my life.

Window tint and missing front plate. The cop said she wouldn’t have pulled me over if she’d realized that I wasn’t some kid driving his dad’s sports car. I wanted to point out the obvious age discrimination but decided against it because she was only giving me a fix-it for the front plate.

You’d also need bigger brakes. The good news is that Fieros are pretty much the safest pre-airbag car in the world.

Kenmeri generation GT-R, because Wife Acceptance Factor: 0, also CARB.

It looks like a set piece from a 90's kid’s show. Strangely, I think the silver and black bits break it; it’d be better with everything in extreme colors instead of the half-assed job done here. Throw in Yellow seat belts, paint the silver and black bits yellow and you might end up ahead.

I tend to agree, but interacting with my phone is something I tend to leave to Siri; it’s much easier and safer to say “Hey Siri, call my wife”. One of the reasons we didn’t buy a Polestar V60 last year was that the sales dude told us that he was expecting the tech refresh to be coming in the next model year and
