This is the best evidence to date that there is, in fact, a god.

A large part of my issue was simply driving the thing. I don’t think I’ll ever find a less rewarding ‘sporty’ vehicle again in my life. Truthfully one of the most boring cars I’ve ever driven, and I’ve driven 10-year old automatic Audi A4's. Then, after owning it long enough to necessitate an oil change, come to find…

Worst car I ever owned was a 2011 VW GTI. Had it for less than 6 months before I sold it. It had fewer problems than yours within that timeframe, but nonetheless, I wanted nothing more to do with it.

a hundred-years-old car car with 250 horsepower, 3,000 pound feet of torque

An OEM drivetrain; then sell for a likely handsome profit for what is essentially a brand new truck.

All I can pay attention to is this odd assembly of a running/parking light strip poised all alone, sorta near — but not following or caring about — the other character lines of the fake inlet/front bumper cut-out. Just ...guh. And then not far away is the wheel well line/fold that runs amok and goes all AWOL once it…

I dunno. It had a huge wing, large front splitter, and (I think) a near full belly pan. Less visually striking, but attention paid nonetheless. That said, aero isn’t everything. There’s a great article on that Spoon Civic over on motoiq.com. In a lot of ways, it’s kinda amazing how ‘simple’ the build is.

That Scion held the Global Time Attack record for a FWD car at Buttonwillow Raceway for a number of years until it was finally beaten in 2015. That’s not rice. That’s effectively being faster than everyone else.

All I want....

Is Kawasaki finally addressing how they’re paying royalties to Monster Energy Drinks because bro’s love that color green?

Wait wait wait, you got to have your pieces laser-cut? So much for a metal straight edge and a box of X-acto blades. Kids these days... ;)

I could just see all the invoices coming in from all the dealerships totaling up all the shop time/costs for the repairs. More likely, Takata gets sued by Honda and Ford. Which will be litigated to death for the next decade. Right about the time the last airbag inflator is replaced.

Well, the terms of the fine could be as such that they aren’t required to pay it all out quickly and claim bankruptcy and yadda yadda yadda. So, there’s that.

Takata is being fined $200 million. 24 million vehicles are now part of the recall. I know it doesn’t work this way, but that’s only $8.33 per car. That seems ...a bit shy of a significant fine.

Done. Pfft. Eeeeeeeeeasy.

Because automotive gymnast stuck the motherf*****g landing.

It’s the tech world’s equivalent to Portlandia’s “We can pickle that.” The cynicism is solid. Because it is true.

because the future is all about having nothing to do with your car, apparently.

but you’ll have no problem threading the needle between shopping carts in the Home Depot parking lot.

Why the government spends so much time and effort destroying these cars I do not know
