seeing a lot of folks here who do not treasure their time spent at the dentist

“The face is pure aesthetic. There is no inherent requirement from Honda to have to cosplay masculine toughness. But now they are.”

I know this is a really stupid reason, but the ugly front end is really what sent me to the Ranger over the Ridgeline. I was seriously looking at both and had test driven both. Looks are important to me, and the Ranger just looked so much better than the Ridgeline. Both had good fuel economy and a good drive train,…

They got people to buy them?

I’ve always seen the Ridgeline as what most people who have pickups actually need.

“The Honda Ridgeline has been the darling of the midsize truck world since the truck debuted in 2016. Journalists have for years now fawned over”

The truck that has enough capability for 99% of people now looks like a truck. Good job Honda! (under my breath: about fucking time)

You have automotive Stockholm syndrome. 

It’s not just absolute power, it’s power to weight ratio. The Miata has a much better better power to weight ratio (12:7lbs/hp for the Miata vs. 14) because it’s around 400lbs lighter than a BRZ. The old WRX was also very light by today’s standards (3,100lbs) and thus also had a better power to weight ratio than the…

From everything I’ve heard, it sounds like it doesn’t need more power; it needs lower gearing. My ‘91 Miata only had 115 hp (and probably not even that after a quarter-million miles), but it still felt sprightly beause of the low gearing (4.30:1 in the rear axle, if I recall). Granted, it was turning almost 4000 RPM…

“What do we want?”

I can’t imagine making this my criteria for a sports car. 

Nah, this car is a mess. The seller has wisely chosen to move on. The buyer would be wise to talk him down a good $3k to sort out the engine, exhaust, and convertible top issues. ND. 

This is a ‘I can’t get this heap of shite to work properly’ sale isn’t it.

I think the 300ZX was one of the coolest GT designs to ever come out of Japan, so I won’t agree with that one, but the thing is, it was a GT, bigger and cruisier than a pure Z car should have been.

Idk, to me that concept always looked too bubbly to be a Z-car. They’ve always been wedgey cars, and while the 350Z was a bit chunky, it was at least angular.

Neat King Cobra

There seems to be enough horror stories about post-home makeover family struggles, I’m not sure why the two examples highlighted are a woman who struggled to pay “the property’s pre-makeover mortgage” for nine years and a guy who didn’t look up zoning restrictions before moving his family in, and borrowed against the…

One woman’s home was foreclosed on nine years after her makeover when the mortgage ballooned from $30,000 to $113,000.
