Nice. This is the correct answer in my humble and meaningless opinion.

My electric and the wife’s hybrid dont have those issues like you said. I’ve only experienced it on super hot days (90+) with a couple rental cars I had 7 years or so ago.  To be fair, they were from the FCA family so the systems were probably the worst I could run into.

Only issue I’ve ever had with a start/stop system is on super hot days. The AC compressor is no longer turning. That’s bad mmmmkay. It is much harder to play catch up with AC vs maintaining a temp.

I’m right there with you. I have a 20 ultra and the specs aren’t much different for the big one. Newer revision on the processor and a better camera along with software toys but the battery is similar, as is the display. Ram is the same. Hard to justify over my nearly 4 year old phone...which feels strange.

There will be software “adjustments” that can be made via an app and bluetooth OBDII reader. I have a 10 year old bmw and I can change damn near anything the computer can do.

I really want to like this car and I’m a big fan of 928s and 944s...  It looks great from 50 feet..but the closer you get, the more you see the bad execution of the mods and potential problems.  The price isn’t outrageous and I’d be sorely tempted if the body panels actually lined up well...except they dont.  Also:…

A pillar bloat really is causing some crazy blind spots.

You really think it would take a whole dollar huh?

Isuzu Impulse/Piazza Turbo. The first gen with the pop-up...eyebrows? and not the one badged as a Geo Storm.

I really want to get behind this but I bought an ADV bike recently and it weighs roughly the same, has roughly the same horsepower, and cost 10k. Of course it doesn’t have the torque and it isn’t as well balanced but it will go 250+ miles between fill-ups and is hands down the most comfortable bike I’ve owned in 30+…

Am I not getting this?  You know what else is a pocket sized device that has all my phone apps...?  Yeah....

All about perspective I suppose. I have an 89 K series blazer that I wouldn’t part with for under 35k. Does it have the bulletproof reputation of a Toyota? No...but with nearly 200k on it, it is still my daily driver.

“They do not make a great deal of sense outside the ABC Store at 11am...”

If it were infrequent or just guests, I wouldn’t care. Instead it is 2 to 3 days each week. We both have driveways. They have enough room for 2 cars in front of their house on the street. I only have space for one because of the community mailboxes and yet, they always park in front of my house and not theirs.…

Huh, I didnt know this was an acceptable response to parking in front of someone else’s house. My asshole neighbors have been parking in front of my house for years even though I have less space and the front of their house is open.  Does it have to be swastikas?  Can I write other messages?  So many questions.

Potentially, but this is not always the case.  I work at an airport and while shutting down is obviously preferred, it is not always possible, depending on the situation.

Fair points. I am very familiar with the FAA and DoD response protocols but not Japans. Here at least, the controller is immediately pulled and drug tested and someone else takes over just in case it was controller error.

Learn to weld. It is something I’ve always wanted to learn but it is a necessity now. No one I have talked to is willing to cut and weld on my 35 year old tailgate and new old stock is non-existent. I can only assume that GM scrapped the molds because no repops either. Can’t find any junkyard parts in better shape and…

Haneda has 4 runways. I’m a little surprised the completely closed with that many flights still scheduled. This is certainly not meant to downplay the tragedy of the coast guard crew that died. I would think rerouting to Narita or using the parallel to keep flights going makes the most sense but there may be a…
