Pedestrian safety design.

OK I cheated, this is my catch all. It resulted in high belt lines, huge grilles, no bumpers, small windows, huge wheels, no popup lights, tall hoods, etc...

I mentioned it was a dual clutch, but to clarify.....

It had potential. It looks good on paper, but Hyundai went safe with it. Which is too bad, it could have been a little Korean GTI. I felt the same let down when I drove the Kia Forte Koup.

We’re not going to get the Fiesta ST, because the regular Fiesta was terrible. Actually let me clarify. The regular Fiesta was perfectly fine with a manual transmission, but the automatic that 95% of the plebian American population wanted was hamstringged with a terrible dual clutch “powershift” automatic. It gave the…

We were car shopping roughly a year or so ago. Veloster Turbo was on the “to look at” list. We loved the styling. Even sitting in it wasn’t bad. Kind of funky, kind of fun. Except for the save the planet with mpg game they installed in the center lcd that made me want to punch the dash. Until we drove it. That was the…

I voted crackpipe, and I do so with sadness. I had a ‘91 Sidekick and I loved that thing. I want another one desperately. Fist of all this is an automatic, and you don’t want that. Believe me, get the 5 speed, those 80 horses will be thankful you did. But second of all, the market for these things has gotten out of…

I agree with Petty. While you are on that track you represent the sport and his organization. If your actions represent the organization in a negative light or reflect poorly upon his business, he has the right to remove you.

And this is the problem I have with the NFL, NBA, and now MLB getting in on this kneeling…

Exactly this... We were walking around the Ford lot a week or two ago and couldn’t find a single F150 on the lot for less than $45k. And there were some F250s on the lot for $75k+. They didn’t have a single Taurus for less than $30k, and if you stepped up to an SHO it went to $45k+.

Who can afford these new cars and…

Better option... Jeep Renegade Latitude 1.4t, 4x4, 6spd manual (Base price $23,500)

Probably a 1:9 ;)

Sounds like you need new friends.

I learned the hard way, twice....

When I was around 19 (about 1997) I got suckered into a sob story, acquaintance of a friend deal. I sold him a ‘72 Mustang on payments. I got the first payment and never saw him or the car again. (In GA if the car is older than 25 years old you don’t need a title to register it, just…

Craigslist will do this to you. Between the...

“I like the car, will you take payments?”
“Will you take 50% of what you are asking?”
“Will you trade for a not running moped?”
“I not from there, I out of town. Will give car to shipper? I’ll send check for more than asking.”
“I send money to Escrow, you give car to me.”

I actually feel the same way about the fixed lights on the NSX.

I wanted the ND Miata to have pop ups so bad. I knew it would never happen, but it looks so right.

Love mk2's. I dig Montana Green too, but my favorite Mk2 color is either Mica Red or Calypso Coral green. I have the sedan version and of the GTI, a ‘91 Jetta GLI 16v, sitting in the garage next to my Harlequin.

Sure, if you’re in constant stop-and-go traffic for hours, it can get annoying I bet, so turn it off. If you’re racing for pinks at a stoplight, turn it off. But for normal driving? I just don’t see what the big deal is. It seems like a reasonable compromise that helps make the loud, powerful fuel-chugging engines we…

I hate it. I don’t like the feeling or aural sensation of driving a car equipped with it. I don’t like the, completely unnecessary from my point of view, added complexity in technology it adds. And like other have stated, I don’t trust the long term durability of the system, or the wear and tear and maintenance that…

I really like the look of the markers on the Stinger. In a way that is completely opposite of the loathe I have for the moulded into the tail light ones found on a Focus.

Legacy got bigger and dumpy looking, manual dropped from wagon in 06, wagon dropped all together in 08. Likewise the the WRX got frumpy looking, suspension was softened dramatically, and it got bigger (There are reasons there are threads upon threads railing on the ‘08s on NASIOC). The Forester became a full fledged…
