That’s exactly what I was just trying to describe in my other comment. Yup. Fark your million dollar Ford GT—if I plow into the side of it from the inside, you’ll turn me in the right direction while you go off lord knows where. Surely that’s how people race Ferrari 458s and Ford GTs in real like, right?

I try to pass on the inside, a little to fast, in a tight curve, and get some momentum transfer from the AI car to get me pointed out of the turn. Thank you fake physics, thank you lord, and thank you forza for getting me around road atlanta in one piece and out in front.

I’ve done this, in a certain way. It was as an adult over 40 that I first began playing racing video games (now I know they’re called “racing sims”). I got Gran Turismo 5 for my ps3. My first race, and second, and first 50 or so, I got out on the track, mashed the go fast button and didn’t let go, and wondered why I…

I agree wholeheartedly with your article, except I think your car is cooler than you give it credit for. I’ve always thought that that generation of TL was a design hit, looks really good. My old lady drives a 2013 TL, and her car is about the best all-’rounder I’ve experienced. My old lady doesn’t drive stick, and…

Yup. I have a 2007 s2000 and it’s unkillable. Possibly the most reliable car I’ve ever had, maybe in 2d place next to my old ‘95 accord. Not the most practical car ever, but the best at two things: reliable, and driving experience. The s2000 driving experience/ driving dynamics is more rewarding than wrx, m3, m5, e39…

Funny, because Regular Car Reviews just covered this car (the Scion equivalent) and declared it un-tunable.

This entire subject is a big pet peeve of mine. It’s one reason I won’t even consider a number of new cars that otherwise might be on my radar. I had a Dodge Challenger rental recently. It wasn’t horrible, but for rear visibility. Will never buy one.

Chevy Beretta much?

I can’t tell this car from the one in the article immediately below this one.

So would “light, fast, cheap—pick two.”

My 1985 MR2 agrees with everything in your article.

Okay, here’s my third and final answer:

Here’s my alternative answer:

First gen NSX (my personal dream car, would use for some track days)

I wonder if the accident report describes the skid marks at the scene of that crash, because there were definitely some skid marks.

I get it wrong some times—tire over the white line or something—but I back out and repeat, slow down and take a deep breath, do-over, and don’t stop working on it until I have it right. I do not get out of mis-parked car.

These results please me. Not perfect, but pretty damn good. The Cayman has already been at the top of my list.

Anyone who takes their motorcycles on the ‘ring, crashes, and then nuts up and writes about it frankly and openly on the internet is a much bigger man than me. No shame. Seriously, no shame at all. Tell us your story.

“5W-20" or “P215/60/R16” badges on the car...

I’m going to echo what s38junkie said. Can we get over this limp fallacy that only AWD cars can drive in a snowstorm? Even without snow tires, most people live in cities and suburbs that get plowed. Take the extra ten to twenty minutes to shovel your own driveway, to shovel your own car out, and then go drive to…
