Pretty much any car is rendered more entertaining by the presence of three pedals. My daily is a slow-as-balls 20-year-old rusty Subaru, but by virtue of a 5sp, it remains “the good car” in my eyes, and my preferred ride over more plush automatics. All three of my kids learned to drive stick in it

My folks had 6 FIATs in a row 2 127s, a 124, a 128, a Ritmo and a Regatta, and they were absolute troopers. The Ritmo was my first car, and its 1.3 liter 65hp carburetted motor carried me around the motorways of Europe for years without a hitch. My eyes roll when I hear the endless “Fix It Again Tony” jokes from…

I was on I-40 in my TR6 (just about survivable on an interstate). There was a big tailback in the “slow lane”. I came to the front of the tailback and there was a Morris Minor, trundling courageously along at ~40mph. Talk about a white-knuckle ride…🤔

Don’t know about Jezzies specifically, but having lived in Little Rock for a number of years in the 2000's, I can say that LR is home to any number of great reasonable blue-voting people, but their voices are drowned out by the Red Roar of the rest of the state. All the time I live in LR (AR 2nd), my rep was Vic Snyder

A friend of mine’s E46 325i committed suicide by bursting into flames (in the UNC parking garage, no less) - I suspect it heard the news early and couldn’t stand the shame

I had a ‘90 in “Kashmir” (dark grey) for ~12 years, until the rot started by 6 Boston winters killed it. Not the fastest, but a great car to drive. Possibly my favorite of all

I’m sure it’s a wonderful car - fast, comfortable, well-made. It just leaves me cold. It’s all fat body and no greenhouse

The area of the contact patch is literally the weight on that quarter divided by the tire pressure. Altering tire design doesn’t change that - only either increasing the weight on the tire or decreasing the tire pressure - or both. Regardless of the tire design, that simple math holds true

This is the downside of nice light cars. I have an ignition kill switch on my TR6 which would likely prevent someone from hotwiring it and driving off, but one determined thief could push it away

So where does the.....um......product...end up? Are you going to have to give your car detailer a massive tip?

Those damn’ (lucky) Europeans!!

I don’t hate it, but much as I want to love the BRZ/FRS/86, I find the looks bland and boring. Just ‘cos it goes faster than stock isn’t enough to separate me from nearly $16k. Mild CP

My brothers and I were experts in bump-starting our old family fiat which was a lousy starter as a result of an undiagnosed almost-worm-through ground strap - you got one shot at starting and the battery was flat. So, we perfected the routine of letting the car roll backwards out of our narrow front gate, hard over…

You list great-looking BMW coupes and you leave out the E9? Arguably (actually, no argument) the most beautiful BMW coupe. Shame!

That should be “holey grail”...

It’s Harriet Walter, not Walker

“Hold my slivovitz”

I got to see a “warmed up” 3900 Challenger up close and that was impressive enough. I can’t imagine a 4000 blowing past me at speed.

It feels like a hot building flying past you at 60 mph, your brain just gets overwhelmed

Wish it was a G-Tee-I
