As a guy who lives where Miatas sell for ~$45k brand new and isn’t what the average Joe here (myself included) could afford... I’m deeply saddened by that rear fender. It definitely wouldn’t Dzus right back.

Yep. I’m an IT consultant currently assigned to a client about 1 hr drive away. For the past few weeks, I’ve been coming in past lunchtime, saying something along the lines of “I’ve got meetings and stuff to handle at our HQ from morning until noon”. They’re cool with it.

The worst offenders here are Ninja 250s with fake Akrapovic exhaust (and some genuine ones too). If anything, hitting the rev limiter on each shift on the street reeks of douchebaggery.

In this episode of Roadkill...

Shut up and take my star.

There was a story about a guy walking into a BMW sales exhibition local to me, shorts sandals and all. He was asking about the then-new X5 M, but being the sandal-toting guy that he is, no one batted an eye.

Where I live, ~$4,000 merely got my brother a 1998 W202 C230 Kompressor, which I occasionally drive.

Honda Accord Gran Coupe M-Sport?

As a non-American, I’m jealous of the fact that you guys could get cars like the SS or CTS(-V).

Matt Farah: hey everyone, welcome to another episode of The Smoking Tire. I know you all love the oddballs, so here’s one. A Kia Soul Turbo, courtesy of Andrew Collins. ‘Sup Andrew?

On my side of the pond, we’ve got people tuning diesel Toyota Innovas north of 280whp.

Compulsory:

“We got a whole Dodge Hellcat to part out engine and whatnot from, and in Roadkill fashion, we’re gonna put all those stuff into this Cherokee, and leave the brakes and suspension stock. Or maybe not.”

I’m looking forward to seeing this car in an episode of Roadkill, preferably doing quarter mile pulls (or just plain old tire-roasting) with whatever crazy fast stuff Finnegan and Freiburger has.

I’d usualy daydream about blowing away my nonexistent $100,000 on a V6 F-Type or a 911 C2S, but now I want this car. So badly. Then again I’m 29, so I’m probably just getting old. Or weird. Or forgot that I bumped my head too hard somewhere sometime ago. Or all three...

To reiterate others: the 5 GT looks like a tick engorged in blood, viewed in a bad aspect ratio. Or an Aztec gone wrong. Pick one.

Jesus. And here I thought commuting hells on Earth are reserved for third-world countries like the one I’m living in.

Where I live, people are crazy enough to bomb down curvy roads in 4-bedroom houses we call Toyota Alphard, Honda Odyssey and/or Nissan Serena. Also in studio apartment on wheels like the Honda Freed and Toyota Innova (Google it).

$39,000 and it doesn’t even have Red eTap or Dura-Ace Di2? Sheesh.

Ugh. I think I got retinal damage just by reading your description.
