Maybe I’m reading too deep into your comment, but let’s not conflate racism with mental illness. There are plenty of people with mental health issues who manage to not be racist in their treatment of others.

Replacing the clock spring on my E46. I have the damn part. I would like to use my cruise control again. But most of my driving is in stop-and-go traffic and I maybe go on two long-distance trips a year. Fiddling with airbags looks annoying. I can probably still endure a few hours of constant lead footing...

I also wish the Honda e was sold in America. 

I’m still pissed (but honestly not surprised) that the DGA didn’t hold out for the WGA and SAG. What a message that would’ve sent, though...

I love India Arie, but she needed to keep that one in the drafts. 

I’m 33 and bought my 987.2 about a year-and-a-half ago. Originally, I figured that between Porsche’s move towards mid-engine electrification and COVID fucking the car market that I’d be completely priced out of ever owning one.

But COVID, ironically, also made it possible. I’d been saving up for a big wedding and intern…

Henry Catchpole had some interesting things to say (when he wasn’t rendered speechless, that is)

According to Christopher Miller, Arad is the one who suggested the Spot as the film’s villain.

Broken clocks, etc. etc.

Hmm...I would pay in-law debts, do energy-efficient home renovations, buy some of the dream German cars (mostly E46/E60/E61/E63 from BMW and 964 Targa/manual 987.2 S from Porsche), set aside a small slush fund and invest the rest in the S&P.

Any chance they’ll stick it in the Mazda 3? The only thing I don’t like about that car is the four pot.

I don’t care what Mazda says they are, I care whether or not they’re putting their new I6 into the Mazda 3.

I think I’ve seen five or six Rivian trucks trundling around Houston at this point, and I spotted my first R1S maybe a week ago. By comparison, I’ve only seen one Lucid car.

I hope that Rivian pulls through. I have never actually wanted to own a truck until the R1T came out. The engineering and thought that went into its design is really breathtaking.

(That being said I still want physical, clicky buttons for my cabin controls; auto manufacturers please don’t cheap out on this)

Same! Fortunately, the Ioniq 5 now exists and if I can make my E46 last for another five-ish years they might finally reach a price that I can afford to go for one.

My answer as well.

Get a Sport Design steering wheel and roof rack for my 987.2 Cayman and go on a proper road trip with it, wife and all.

Because I’m clearly not giving her up (griping be damned), to buy the necessary ramps/quicklift so I can do E46 maintenance/repairs myself...love the car but not the amount of money I’ve spent on her!

A…

The only thing stopping me from buying a Mazda 3 is the four-pot. After driving an E46 for so long, I’d rather stick to six cylinders or buy an EV.

I’m hoping that the rumored inline-6 will not be kept exclusively to Mazda’s CUV/SUV line and trickle down into the sedans.

Yes. Shmee recently finished a Clio V6 restoration project funnily enough.

RE: 1st gear - owning a convertible in Houston has always been a dubious enterprise, but shit’s getting hotter and hotter, most of my driving is stop-n-go highway miles, and at 30 I’m starting to value comfort over fun in my daily driver. I can’t remember the last time I dropped top in that thing.

That being said,…

I have been on my 1080 Ti for five years now. It absolutely slaughters Destiny 2, even at 1440p ultrawide. The number of (AAA) games that can drag me away from D2 are few and far between, and if I’m smart about which settings to drop I probably won’t miss out on much.

NVIDIA can kiss my ass with this pricing scheme.
