If I were to make an electric CRX, I would name it the Foresight.

I had no idea this was a thing. I thought I was just weird and arranged my pens, papers, screen, keyboard, mouse pad, and phone at right angles with the edge of the desk and each other out of some tiny neurosis.
Learned something new today.

Not sure how it looked from the car, but it is usually a safe assumption that if you are seeing smoke/dust in a corner, whatever caused it has tracked straight pushing it to the outside. Given a wall of dust I would chose the inside every time. The not slowing down is harder to understand but that’s why I could never…

I 100% agree with everything you said... and I went against almost all of it. Bought a non running VFR750 without spending a single second on a motorized two wheeled anything. Even though I could barely reach the ground, I taught myself to ride with a little supervision from an experienced rider, dropped it twice when…

Our family car was a Maxima when I was a kid (Datsun emblems, even!) and my first ever “fast cars are fun” experience was my dad frustrating some teens in a Mustang when they couldn’t outpace the bronze, talking (You didn’t forget the car's warning voice did you?), kid hauler from light to light.

Those super-wide lanes inside the circle are clearly to accommodate a sideways car. Spare me your "18-wheeler trailer" excuses, Tesla.

“In fact, that’s one of the things about off-road culture that I think could use a change: it sometimes seems like a big contest...”

I would suggest all of car culture could be improved by this advice.

I would pay an absurd amount to get back my first car, an 88 Si 4ws. But guys, the "S" trim was carbureted. You cannot pay 4k for a carb'd Honda.

But they got improved mileage with the dimples. I dont think that answers the question of “Why not?”

I wanted to come straight to the comments and complain that, “No, reckless riding is wrong,” but then did that thing where you read an article before forming an opinion, and, strange thing, my concerns were addressed.

Good for you, then.
EDIT: I had an incomplete thought and couldn’t delete it... carry on.

I’m genuinely confused. I’ve come across this attitude before with a coworker’s plan for his Miata, but what do you mean when you say, “It was purposely built to piss you off”? Did you build it to be purposefully what you thought was ugly and would make everyone mad, or what you liked but knew many would think is…

I made it into work last year in my Miata on all-seasons while my manager in her AWD lifted Durango called out. (I lived in Charlotte, Im not buying dedicated snow tires for one weekend of snow/yr)

Specifically, for me, the first generation. At least the newer ones can get you to work and back on the cheap while looking dumb. Instead of the ugliest car you’ve ever seen.

I only take issue with your “Overpriced” reason because in this exercise, it would be free.

Too broke to afford one of each? While I agree that picking a side doesn’t make much sense, I have to think (Hope?) that people who spend around $1000 on the two systems, one or two wheels, and both games are the exception not the rule.

My first car was an 88 4ws Prelude that has no chance of still being on the road today, but if I were ever to find it again, it would have to be mine.

Although I think you could argue that, for their time, 80’s VFRs were superbikes, they didn’t have VTEC. It was the later, more sport touring oriented ones. At least in the US anyways. Is there an earlier foreign application I don’t know about? If so, I have a new dream bike.

Your (Not you personally, but most of our) first car. It doesn’t matter what car or how fast it really was or wasn’t. With no frame of reference and dumb-teenage-brain, you thought it was *this* fast, but it was actually much slower.
