I will never not love this House Hunters meme.

Completely unrelated and irrelevant, but I love the word “fungible”, and I’m going to walk around the rest of the day mumbling it to myself and chuckling.

Yeah, that was my take on the article too.

Me too! I actually deleted the music app from my phone for a long time due to this. I listen to podcasts during my commutes and the volume in my car is usually set to accommodate this. It’s always jarring to turn the car on at 6:45am and be blasted with Pantera at 115 decibels instead of the soothing tones of Ira

I think 8-10k, depending on the area is the max I’d ever do on Craigslist.

On a recent test drive, my girlfriend plugged her phone in through a USB port, and the car’s user interface immediately began scanning it until it found a song (that she didn’t pick) to play. It was a terrible song, and she had no idea it was still even on her phone.

I’ve listed small stuff that I couldn’t donate for free, just to avoid the hassle it can take to get $50 out of someone. Free means you don’t get to ask a bunch of questions...it’s kind of a take it or leave it proposition.

Exactly this. It is good, real good. 

I’m not convinced.

Body on frame?

yeah its weird that the author seems to ignore that D-shaped wheels were a sports car innovation to help you keep track of your steering orientation mid-corner.  It was a necessary innovation to go with the trend towards smaller wheels, which resulted from sharper/more precise steering racks which are obviously a good

Walk out the door.

Fiata, FRS/BRZ, Fiat 500 Abarth, BMW 2-Series, Fiesta ST, Jeep Wrangler, Alfa 4c, Shelby GT350, Porsche 718, we have plenty people just like to whip out their rose colored glasses and complain. That or say pure sports cars are too slow and more powerful ones are too fast.

Why does only one interior shot show more than half a square foot of area? (And the shot is of the window)

This isn’t really true.  There’s one reliability point on the Evora that I’d be concerned about, which is the clutch master cylinder.  Otherwise, they’re very solid cars.  The fit and finish is on par with the NSX, and NSXs are now all old cars that suffer from old car problems.  You simply can’t avoid age related
