It's okay, Fit. I will still recommend you to anyone who wants my opinion on what subcompact car to buy. Now I just have to add on a lengthy explanation when I'm inevitably hit with "but Consumer Reports says..."

That was a close one! I know it is hard when you're hounded by photographers, but when your child is being transported on the least safe vehicle ever made using your mirrors should be a priority.

I was referring to the shitty Ultra three spoke things pictured above. The factory three spokes were far less offensive.

Yes, Cavaliers could have been the most common. After that they were usually stuck on a Grand Am.

And with 1980s voice recognition technology I'm guessing the car spends a lot of time idling in park.

Me too. I remember when they were everywhere, usually bolted to awful '90s GM products.

Please tell me, how does one actually shift that Camaro? Do I simply stop and type in my preferred gear or select an icon with the mouse? Do I pull up to my parallel parking space, stop and then type "reverse" as I enjoy the convenience of not having to move a lever like a filthy commoner?

Didn't Aston Martin use a conventional automatic on their Vantage GT4 racer? I don't recall anyone condemning that decision.

Don't they already have the wagon bodywork developed for the regular Impreza wagon to use on an STI version? If I recall correctly didn't Cadillac make the CTS-V wagon because they already had the parts, not because it made financial sense by being a huge seller?

Mostly Volvo powered, baby! At least the engines were solid despite the hit or miss build quality.

It's not that bad, I daily drove one for years.

For BMW has fancy plans, and pants to match.

The climate controls in my 2011 Miata lie to me. Modern cars have the AC running in many positions and the indicator light comes on automatically when I use my favorite settings.

And in the end that race prepped Silvia would have been way faster. The Mustang is a beautiful beast, but a precise handling machine it is not. This part of the movie made me way angrier than it had any right to. It's actually funny to think how mad these movies make me and yet I still watch them.

I wouldn't call it sacrilege, it's the only way I'd ever get into a Smart car.

Yeah, and for what they spent they could have fixed up the car they took the engine from and had a much lighter racer. If I recall correctly the Silvia only had body and suspension damage.

I had never heard them called turtles until I moved to Seattle. Someone came in complaining about their car making a noise when they ran over turtles and all I could think was "that's sick and cruel, where the hell have you been driving that this is even an issue?"

As soon as I saw this topic I thought it could easily be filled with Seattle driving videos.

I don't doubt you that it can be done, I'm just saying it looks like those were possibly rentals and most people would be afraid to attempt any movement of the car unless someone was about to die, like in that video you linked.

A car with a locked or missing wheel from the damage would be nearly impossible to drag with just a few people. I'm sure they were shook up from the crash and only worried about their safety. Collecting ropes and people to save a car was probably a low priority.
