I got involved in racing as an adult, and I just cannot fathom any parent letting their child risk his life like this. I’m sorry, but the race track is no place for kids.

It was the moment my dad picked me up from middle school in his 1989. For context, this was roughly 2002, in the US. I hadn’t yet realized not every household had a diesel sedan with a manual transmission and pneumatic suspension.

I’ve heard of some bad experiences at Ashley Schaeffer Kia

Dammit. One of the few truly great-looking cars available today.

bring us the wagon or gtfo!

Recently picked up an 03’ Mazda B2300 regular cab with the newer DOHC 2.3 duratec and 5 speed stick. 56,000 miles for $4,000. I’ve owned many vehicles but there is just something about clicking through the gears, with the windows cranked down in this honest truck that really makes my day.

I have a conspiracy theory that the real reason auto companies push crossovers so hard is because they can make them cheap and shitty to drive but people will still buy them in droves. Sedans actually have to be good to sell, that requires effort.

I’ve owned several homes with white baseboards and trim, and it has always remained scuff-free. Why? Because I don’t live in the United States, and I take off my shoes in the house like a civilized human being.

Agreed, that’s a beautiful shade of purple.  Wish more vehicle manufacturers would offer vibrant colors to stand out in a sea of blah gray.

Just wait until the poors get their own submarine. Ready torpedos!

“Or why you’d drive with the top up and the windows up on sunny days during the summer.”

I’ve had one of these since 2008, and I love it:

The NC Miata with the Power Retractable Hard Top (PHRT). The top folds completely out of the way (unlike the RF) and doesn’t take up any more storage space than the soft top.   As a NC PRHT owner I’m very disappointed by the Miata RF.

It’s actually become a self-fulfilling prophecy. They nuked the fun cars when Millenials had no disposable income and when those in Gen-X were dealing with the debt and fallout of the ‘08 crash. Well, Gen-X is hitting retirement age as their finances finally grow again and Millenials have money now. Except during the…

Convertible aficionado and E93 328i owner here - this makes me tremendously sad. The hardtop on my 3-er makes the car so livable in all conditions (ok, it doesn’t snow here) that I just love it. Greatly improves the effectiveness of the AC on the days it’s too hot for the top down over my previous soft top. Much…

If they don’t do a hatchback, I don’t give one single fuck about this car. I know I am not alone.

Love you Lawrence for featuring my favorite weird ride. The looks I get when I tell someone I spent 6 months searching for just the right model and year of a 15 year old minivan…

Might want to put a Jimny hat on that.

So Takata needs to just stop existing, then.

Yeah, America should have been cool with the blatant Chinese misuse of satellite killing weapons and the hacking and theft of data from JPL.
