Except car companies are not making them for most cars now, and people don’t buy them when they do (which is why they don’t make them). I agree there is no replacement for the feeling of a manual, but if we lined up on a drag strip in identical modern 3 series except for the transmission, and all other factors were…

It think the time has come for us in the enthusiast community to let it go with the manual transmission. I get it. I enjoy rowing my own in a car. The feeling of letting the clutch out, feeling the car connect, shifting down, is hard to reproduce in an automatic. However, it is just that, a feeling. Years ago a manual…

Does it matter, though?

I think you need help;

If this car needed 100 pages of maintenance history to make it to 96k, then it’s going to need 100 more pages to make it to 125k.

There seems to be this lingering feeling that I’m throwing some subliminar shade on the Z8, which is not the case. It looks fantastic. But the article is lazy and reductionist. It’s not peak BMW design at all, in fact, being retro is a good indicator of that, which could make for a great article, if they had someone…

There’s people out there that can talk about design without going on about any nonsense, as you put it. I'm not even asking for in-dept analysis of every bullshit detail on a forgotten oddball car. Just decent design articles that the common folk can understand instead of the same opinion pieces that are actually just…

That is a common practice in the DC area that results in people not using their blinkers lest the other party closes the space. God forbid you let someone in front of you.

I’d say even in the beginning the Rogue was at fault for the merge. Explorer had plenty of space, then when they begin to signal the Rogue speeds up to purposely cut them off. Explorer merges anyway, all hell breaks loose. 

Why would they do that? In the product planner’s minds there’s no reason to do that because they’re selling 500K+ pickups a year. Only when a competitor starts eating their pickup volume will they decide to pivot.

Normally I would say NP, but with rust in the “Honda Spot” its a CP. Rust is just a constant plague. 

Let’s agree to disagree... from the back they look like...

Honda S2000 both in and out and especially the sound

The lengthening list of behaviors that you have to practice in order to avoid paying too much for a game that you may not want:

The E-Tron is an example of how Tesla ends. Porsche’s Taycan will be another example.

You need more stars, those should be summarily deleted from the discussion

“Shockingly, there’s not much of a market for clapped out minivans Postal Jeeps with a cargo area filled with ziptied old lead acid batteries and a range of 50 miles.”

Now that I’ve set the David Tracy bait, all we need is patience....

Man,

How could I forget about all those homebuilt 300-Mile-Range Electric Cars built in garages that can be cranked out at a rate of hundreds per week, warrantied to last as much as 100k miles, full furnished interiors loaded with Android Auto and air conditioning, can quick charge using international standards, meet…

Porsche guys just like to complain. When the “short hood” 911s came out, they complained about the ugly bumpers. The 964s were heavy, leaky and too complex. The 993s had ugly headlights; at least until the Boxsters and 996s came out, then that was quickly forgotten as they had better things to complain about like no…
