The heated seats in my Miata have five settings, and four are worthless. It also shuts off automatically at a set temperature/time and takes a while to turn itself on again.

I'm glad to see some more love for Red Bull around here. People are quick to dismiss anything as a stunt for a soft drink company but when they are producing stuff this cool and funding motorsports that I love, who cares? I want them to make money.

2011 Miata does not auto-lock.

Question for the auto historians out there, what was the smallest displacement V-12 used in a production or race car? We've seen some 1.5 litre examples here but was that the smallest?

I only saw one in real life here in Seattle. Those poor cars are so dated looking (and the body truly is) and there is little about the car that could ever get near 40 grand out of me.

Looks like just about every Mazda has it, excluding the Miata? Awesome, I'm sure it was deleted in the name of weight savings.

I actually really liked this body style of Accord. The 94-95 even more than the 96-97 minor facelift. Very solid cars and decently entertaining with a manual transmission.

No kidding. Everyone I've known with a parrot talks about how great they are but the damn things are so shrill and annoying. Most I've encountered will aggressively bite at anyone who isn't their owner.

I usually have very little interest in drifting, but I approve of this. Some of this stuff looks like damn good fun.

True, but now is the time to establish a national network of qualified repair techs. I know they are low maintenance, but if these things really take off they need to be able to handle the eventual high volume of service calls.

Damn right!

True, but even then how long can you count on this kind of service? They need to start establishing a better dealership or service network. A few thousand built into the price can only go so far.

They say that they dispatch a tech to help any owner in this sort of situation, but for how long? As the Tesla becomes more popular there is no way this is economically feasible.

They are fantastic on my DeLorean. You can park extremely close to a wall and still have plenty of room to open them. Of course considering how carelessly people open their doors you really wouldn't want to park that close anyway.

I drove the base SLS AMG at Exotics racing a couple weeks ago. Oh my god, that exhaust note is chilling. More power may sound like a good idea but the traction control is always fighting to gain control of people like me who are used to the power of a Miata.

Just like any meme, the more this gets used the more I grow to hate it.

Back in the day that's what people called the title to their car. Basically you are racing to win the other's car.

You can fully defeat the stability/traction control on many cars in the US. I do it on my 2011 freely.

Hell yeah, first thing I thought. Perhaps I am a bit overly paranoid about my car being dinged by other drivers. I never park downhill if I can help it.

Yes, everywhere I went in mine was instantly recognized even with the hard to make out badging on the rear.
