We do? That’s news to me...

I noticed a nice looking MR2 in a carport near my home yesterday. I might need to try a low ball offer.

I think its because Japanese cars have not gotten more fun or more attractive since. Look at the Civic Type R. Fast, sure, fun? Not really. Good looking? Not even close. Cheap? $37,750 for 2020, no. Oh then there is that whole BMW Supra thing

I know a lot of fellow Gen Xers who always had money (trust fund babies) that had some of these brand new in the mid-1990s. Envy was my sin.

Maybe when (if?) the kids move out.

Especially the Type R, a rare car in a rare color made even more rare through theft, accidents, and being thrashed on the track. It also had incredibly low miles, which is rare.

Good list. I would add one.

I’m fine with the EV credits if that’s the path we’re going to take, but I think the phase-out needs to be much more gradual than it is.

This is luddite talk. People literally said the same about much of the tech in your Town Car when said tech was new.

There is ZERO “stigma” with taking the Tube in London or the Metro in Paris.

It also resulted in a massive bailout of large-scale farmers (not the mom and pop “middle America” farmers), on a scale larger than the Auto bailouts after the Great Recession. Small gubmint tho

They stopped buying stuff and now they’ve decided to buy more stuff again. People remember the second of these and not the first.

I have been stuck in nasty urban traffic in Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Nebraska, and New Mexico. There is only 327 million people in the US not sure if hundreds of millions have easy commutes.

I’m always amazed how many subdivisions and neighborhoods don’t have sidewalks. 

sitting no moving in traffic 2 hours a day while burning expensive gas is not “working just fine” go look at cars with one person in them stuck on a 5 lane highway all not moving and burning gas the whole time, it would be hard to actively design something so stupid.

The DeLorean Flight of the Navigator:

Older cars is no problem, I’ll agree. Newer cars, however, it’s not just a matter of pulling a DIN chassis and replacing it with the new receiver that goes right into the same slot. You frequently have to change out a big dash panel, and the ‘kit’ holds the receiver loosely in the dash. Then wiring is integrated into…

Unpopular opinion: the Stinger is ugly. 

I’ve had a S5 Sportback for 22 months now, and my feedback on it:

Poor Ford GT.
