“you get stuck in the basic “which car is best in each Forza class” level of enthusiasm and don’t care about the MK5 GTI, V6 manual Accord, or early-2000s Camaro you can get for cheap.”

Eh, I can’t fit in a Miata, but I’ve been in one and wasn’t really that impressed with it. I could do all the things I could do in my much faster Evo, and had plenty of “within the speed limit” fun, especially in the mountains. I don’t hate them, but I also don’t entirely get it either. Maybe if they built one I could…

They do look fantastic though, very muscly but with poise and a degree of elegance. My dad had one, I personally loved it and built one on Midnight club, felt like a boss with that car.

“Our house is near a traffic light, and it’s a great excuse for some drivers to get in a pull at the green.”

It’s not really that simple in America. The other countries already had established roads and infrastructure centuries prior to the US even being a thing. It can be done but it needs to be strategic and a change in work culture needs to be done first, no more of this return to office BS if it can be done (obviously…

“That’s right, the answer is always Miata.”

“ I think owning a car simply isn’t as economically feasible for them as it was for most of us as young people.”

“You don’t look like you should be driving around in something like this”

And yet that doesn’t bother me because they aren’t driven by asshats. I haven’t been cut off or flashbanged by a Phantom so they are alright in my book

...I don’t know what point you’re trying to make, but you missed the mark.

The point of the comparison is that EVs just elevates “lesser” cars into the same picture with the vastly more expensive options. On paper, Hyundai should be int he same conversation as Lucid or Tesla, yet they are just a s quick (Plaid and Sapphire aside) and look premium...They have been coming up for a quite a…

The LA autoshow hasn’t been the same since before Covid, missing alot of manufacturers that I used to enjoy seeing so I might not go this year but I’ll see...The quality was good on it though, definitely deserves a spot in the luxury department with the Germans. The only blight is the lack of color options and…

I sat in the Lucid at the autoshow last year. It was weirdly a little cramped inside especially the rear, but I’m not sure if the electronics were fully working on floor models because I got locked inside and had to get someone outside to open the door lol. I’m simple, just give me some actual buttons, Bluetooth, a…

And that’s the conundrum I have with EVs, Nothing much to aspire to when a family cuv is just as fast or a couple milliseconds slower. And it’s not like their interiors are vastly different either.

F%#$@ you got me! Hope your day goes well.

No you times infinity =)

“Typical. It doesn’t matter to you, so fuck EVERYONE else.”

Is y’all windows made of paper Mache? Single pane glass windows typically block 20 decibels of sound. Double pane windows block 30 decibels. in general, houses are usually 20 (6 meters) feet from the road at a minimum. Sound looses 6 decibels at 2 meters and doubled after that.

It was towards the end of covid and I wasn’t driving too much then so when it came time to renew my registration, I renewed it, but just put the envelope with the sticker in the glove compartment. Well it was time to come back into the office because the overlords suck and I started driving again. Cop pulls me over…

Oh god, a little noise for a couple of seconds hurts your ears, grow up and ignore it.
