They did a first gen Cherokee on the headlights.

I have been known to answer “Poncho’s Porn Palace and Pizza Emporium, home of the world famous white sauce!”

That’s funny. The guys in the airport hawking religion always start with “Can I ask you a question?” To which I reply “You just did!” and keep walking.

Is that a good car to invest in

Aren’t you late for a protest or something?

The plane already has an airworthiness certificate from Mooney. The issue is going to be replacement parts for that unicorn engine. Once that engine is timed out at (I assume) 2000 hours getting parts for an overhaul is going to be tough. 

I think it looks really good and am excited for the Type-S. I have a soft spot for Acura’s having owned an Integra v-tec and TL Type-S during Acura’s glory days, its been a while since they’ve had something I am interested in.

So, wait a year or two and import a 4-door Integra Type R.

You ain’t getting a new Corvette for anywhere near $65K. The cheapest 2020 used car C8 Corvette goes for $85K at the auctions.

Quick search cheapest new C8 I could find was $74k, cheapest 3.0 Supra was $53k and I bet it’s easier to get more money off the Toyota. 

This. Also the Shelby GT350, which is only slightly more expensive than a loaded Supra yet has a manual gearbox and That Engine.

$55k is not a ton less than the $59k an M2 competition costs either. That car makes more power than the Supra, is more practical and can be had with a stick. 

I know I’m supposed to take the purist line and defend this car. I’m supposed to say the lighter, lower-powered, smaller-wheeled version is the real driver’s choice because of better weight distribution and less unsprung mass and all...

Because the new Z won’t come out for 2 more years, and is really just a reskinned 370z, which came out as a 2009 model. The 370z was really just a reskinned and 350z, which came out in 2002. No one is going to want to buy a 2023 car that is riding on a 3500lbs platform from 2002.

From a company guaranteed to still be in business here when the warranty is up?

Perhaps they want a car some time in the next two years?

I see these types of people all the time at the dealer “shopping” for a car or at car shows. If not the no manual reasoning, there’s always an excuse. I think it’s a way for them to pretend to keep up with the Joneses despite not having any money. They complain about X-sedan not having a manual. I’ll suggest a very…

What about all that "almost broke Jalopnik" though?  I reread this a few times and not seeing it.  Might be my lack of comprehension though.  

Look at some of these posts, going on about their 8, 10, 12 year old manuals. These are not new car buyers and new car buyer do not want sticks, plain and simple. Funniest I saw was a truck owner complaining in Car & Driver that the 2020 Ford he liked no longer had a manual option. Said he was sticking with his 2000.…

I don't understand this article. Why didn't you publish something earlier?  It wasn't as perfect as you'd hoped and hyped and you didn't want egg on your faces?
