This is one of those cars that’s so uncool, it’s cool.

ND.

+1 long jacket

ND for coupe.  They have always been awkward looking, now they look awkward and sharp

Correct. The upper grill on the ‘07-’09 MS3 was split and had air ducts on the top portion to direct into the TMIC, the lower portion went toward the radiator.

That’sjust what it takes to go a reasonable speed, I’m taking about the people in straight puppies piped Hondas doing 4500rpm at 30 just to make noise

I live 15 miles from work, my commute is about 20-25 minutes. I'm doing fine

At 220hp/tq the BRZ would be a blast to drive.  Still not the fastest but some low end acceleration would make it feel 3x faster.  turbo or N/A, either would work as long as it could move a little better off the line

Sure.  If I wring out 3rd in my car I am in reckless driving territory on every street in the state.  That doesn’t stop me on the tail or somewhere like that but around town?  Just doesn’t cut it.  I much prefer being able to rip from 20-50 or 30-60 when I need to....keeping a BRZ in high revs to make power is, at

“slow car fast” only works when you can....go fast. The midrange dip of the BRZ means unless you keep the revs high it will always be sluggish, and no one rides around at 4k+ just for the hell of it (except assholes, they do it to be assholes). For every day driving it’s much nicer to have a punch from 2k-4k if you

My 2020 Gladiator begs to differ

None of that exists where I work.

The latter half of my undergrad I wasn’t happy with my path but looking around could never find something else that seemed like it would keep my interest and wouldn’t set me back to the beginning....the last thing I wanted was to extend my stay for an undergrad degree...but then I went straight into a post grad

I test drove one. I’m a large person and the salesman with me was even bigger. In the middle of the test I was accelerating decently and decided to see what it would do flat out....to my dismay I already was flat out.

Mine too. It can also hit near 30 highway but that always feels like a fluke, and is super rare that I drive enough highway to hit it.

4.0+ in HS, 3.84 in college. High school took almost no effort.  College was difficult mostly the last year with a couple harder classes before that.  Got me straight into a doctorate program (full ride) that I very quickly quit then took forever to find a job that ended up being a bust. 5 years as a contractor I’m

If I lived 90 seconds from my office I would move.  I can’t spend all that time in one place, I’d go nuts

What about a small, inefficient hatch that runs on the most expensive regularly available gas? Because that’s what I have. Plus a jeep truck.

With all the WFH I’m sure people are browsing the fridge more often, meaning more opening and ingress of heat/egress of cool air. So....balancing the universe?

I don’t like olives but because olive oil is a necessity olives are good.  I don’t care if that was not the question.
