Yeah, that too.

The downside of Korean cars is depreciation.

To some extent, yes. I’ll do what I can (smooth driving style, avoid start-stop traffic), but I won’t go to extremes.

Covid is resurging here in Asia after an initial strong response, so I think international travel is still out of the question for this part of the world for the near future yet.

In any case, I appreciate the break. I’ve done more than my fair share of travel over the years so it’s nice to finally just rest at home and

Sorry Liz, but Chris is wrong. Engines are designed to run on the recommended octane rating, no more no less. Getting premium gas when the engine doesn’t call for it is simply a waste of money and yields little, if any, benefits.

I actually like that feature Honda has, where if you flick on your indicator, a video feed shows up on the in-car screen showing you what’s in your blind spot.

Not for driving, no. But that would make one hell of a disco.

I like the idea, but when I tried playing it, I felt disappointed by the execution.

When the light comes on.

C’mon now, All Lights Matter.

That Dodge Charger setup looks like a nightmare. If the mechanism fails you’re pretty much fucked.

I highly doubt the Singapore GP will go ahead too. We’re going back into a sort of semi-lockdown from tomorrow after a sudden spike in cases the last couple of weeks. There’s no word of preparation of the track (which normally would have been started by now) so chances of it happening are I would say pretty slim.

I’m sorry, but that looks terrible. Stretched, flattened, and that rear cargo area looks unusable, which completely defeats the purpose of being a wagon (yes, it’s a wagon, shut up Genesis).

We had a Camry last Friday and now this.

I also have questions, but mine is restricted to just one.

What’s wrong with having just one car? Not everybody has the money, time or space to accommodate multiple car ownership.

Exactly this. It’s a shame they were dropped.
