The NC had a great colour called Spirited Green:

The Mirage is cool though, give it a little more aggressive stance and some ground affects. Shoot I saw a boosted one a long time ago and it actually sounded good, I’d definitely drive it and get one in green.

I have one sitting in my carport...  Along with an ‘81 Omni DeTomaso.  But that’s a story for another day.

Meanwhile, for a Mitsubishi mirage

Almost everyone would disagree with you about the Ridgeline. It’s the truck that most people who think they need a truck, actually need. It’s got 5000lbs towing; the cabin of a Honda Accord; a decent bed with locking, waterproof underbed storage. With the gate down and some straps you can haul plywood, bikes, etc...…

The Santa Cruz is one of those vehicles I’d answer for a QOTD prompt about a car that you irrationally kind of like. Like, I can’t foresee a circumstance where I’d ever own one, but I also kind of like something about the way they look. I had similar feelings when the Kona debuted. Just funky enough in the right ways.…

The Protege5 was a good car. If you look at any car from 20 years ago, they’re all lame and slow compared to today’s cars and that’s not really a fair assessment. The Protege5 also came with a 1.8L that provided adequate performance. I had a roommate that bought a 99 Protege ES sedan with the 1.8 and a 5 speed and it…

While we won’t get the EZ-6 in the U.S.,

Aww that was the last car they made with normal looking wheel arches and not whatever TF this is...

My disinterest in Tesla is 95% Elon and 5% market catching up.

Totally agree on that. Musk’s reasoning is that “we drive with only our eyes, we should be able to program computers to do the same.”

Well, the country is so far right in totality; so it’s about that as well.

That’s right, that’s what conservatives do. They take terms from the left, co-opt and invert them into something negative, and then proceed to flog those dead horses into paste. They can’t win a debate on merit, so they resort to poisoning the terminology. And because these are intellectually bankrupt buffoons, they…

I’m not even allowed to look at them. My wife is very permissive about the cars I own — at one point, I had six old japanese cars in various states of decay when we had only street parking. Those were okay, but Telsas are an immediate nope.

The new design is arguably ‘nicer,’ and more ‘pleasant,’ but far less unique.

You are tripping. The Zonda is perfect as it is.

Bruh. That looks like a futuristic bar of soap. The Zonda as it is has no bad angles.

That purple 🤤

I always remember my brother’s 1992 Isuzu Stylus in (I think) Astra Blua Metallic. First time I ever saw a car that color before. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it looked good. This is the closest pic I could find to it, but this isn’t quite as bright or shiny as my memory holds of it.

Crappy weather? Have you ever been to San Francisco? Sure, its foggy parts of the year but it’s extremely mild and pretty far from what most define as crappy. I normally wouldn’t worry about salty air in ocean towns in California, having grown up around Monterey driving cars from the 1960s-1985 (Thunderbird Elan with…
