Type S is as high as it gets for this. 

Is the 355hp enough? Also Honda likes to under report numbers, so does it feel like more? (Though it’s a press car)

I saw a Bronco Sport in person over the weekend. It’s actually much bigger than I thought and it looks pretty dang good. The full size Bronco must be HUGE

A CVT should be awesome in theory. What I don't get is why isn't there a shifter to dial in the gear ratio? With a machine tool you can adjust that easy. It should be better than a manual, just keep the revs in max torque and push the lever as you speed up.

Holy shit, is that tidbit about keys back in the day for real? You'd have a separate key for the door then you would ignition? And some keys unidirectional?!

So we should keep pointless jobs around that make stuff more expensive for everyone else around, just to keep people employed? I mean, the service jobs that dealerships provide will still be there, along with other value add jobs; but why should we keep a full staff of people who only add cost and friction to the…

I agree with him. I’d be happy if 90% of car salesmen were out of that particular job. 

“The MTA struck a deal with the manufacturer to trial the cameras, at no cost...”

I know it’s been done, but one of those random if-i-won-the-lottery builds I’d like to do is a wild V8 swap.

Mitsubishi 3000GT.

Mercedes, I want to say that you do an excellent job with the slideshows, a bit of content with each one, a useful image, and text instead of a screenshot (Seriously, please tell Lawrence to stop using screenshots, it scales poorly).

yeah, remember windows didn’t have such high sills?

A modern take on the first gen CRV, kind of in the spirit of what they did with the e using the original Civic as inspiration might have been a cool styling exercise.

Did this pandemic teach you nothing about travel? Jokes. Honestly, these things appeal to the people who are planning on spending hundreds of days on the road.

Zoning and land-use policy too. Oh boy is that a lot of good “racially neutral” policies that have incredibly disparate effects.

100% honest story with zero bullshit. Thank you for writing this.

If you’re travelling with one of these barges, you’re going to find that your camping options will be limited. A lot of state/national parks have limits on the length of your equipment, and 45' is going to be too long for almost all of them

1st Gear: I’ll be intensely interested to see what the impact of remote working tools is on business travel post-COVID, which may have a similar impact. “This trip should have been a Teams meeting” is likely to be the new “this meeting should have been an email.”

But yeah, you’re right. We don’t have the infrastructure…

Neutral: Slideshows....

 That doesn’t include the cost of the repairs that will have to be made to the canal itself or the overtime for the folks who helped free the monster container ship.
