Love that about my Boxster. There’s not really a good place to keep a pair of sunglasses in the car, but damned if you can’t fit a full-size cooler in the frunk and two carry-on size bags in the trunk.

You can definitely fit at least sub-2 year-olds in a carry-on bag.

My comment wasn’t meant to imply anyone was actually saying the vents are related to crashing. My comment was simply to say that I’m sick of people bringing up crash safety anytime anyone complains about any feature of any new car. Why bring up crash safety at all in response to a comment about not liking…

You brought it up on a comment COMPLETELY unrelated to the crash about a design feature COMPLETELY unrelated to crashing. Get outta here with that shit. People don’t like the way it looks and they’re totally allowed to not like it without people reminding us that technology improves with time. We know. That’s…

I actually do exactly this already. I daily-drive a two-seater that doesn’t like highway drives over ~100 or so miles, so I end up renting a sedan for road trips and it works out just fine. I do, however, benefit from a corporate rental contract that puts me into any car I want for ~$30/day and I don’t know if I’d do…

These pictures validate my belief that the profile in this article is NOT the new Z car. That test mule does not have the pointy noise or the rising belt line of the profile sketch.

I agree. The profile doesn’t look anything like the profile of the mule we’ve seen in spy shots and is a lot more reminiscent of an old 8-series profile than any previous Z car.

I really hope they don’t take it further upmarket. As it stands, the Z4 currently starts at a shade under $50k for the base model. And if you know your history and do the math on inflation, that’s right about what you could have expected to pay for a base model MkIV Supra back in the day. My hope this entire time has…

I love how people like to bring up crash safety whenever anyone criticizes part of the car completely unrelated to crash safety. These fake vents are not the reason you’d survive a crash. This car would have A) looked better without all the completely non-functional plastic trims pieces and B) still have the exact…

In Texas, as long as your parents are willing to sign a piece of paper saying they totally taught you how to drive, all you have to do is pass a written test and you’re golden. I knew a handful of friends whose parents didn’t let them drive a single time before going to the DMV and signing them off for their license.

This isn’t Lotus or Tesla we’re talking about. Honda can churn out replacement parts fairly efficiently and I wouldn’t be surprised if they stocked some prior to rolling the model out for exactly this kind of reason.

“(By the way—for anyone who complains that the new turbocharged 306 horsepower Civic Type R is “different” from the high-revving old VTEC hatchbacks we wanted as kids, I can definitively say which one I’d rather be in an accident in.)“

If the movie Gone in 60 Seconds is any indicator, car thieves are part of elite gangs with a vast expertise in defeating vehicle security spanning decades of models. And Nick Cage doesn’t do fiction...

Oh yeah. 2000's Hondas were awful almost across the board. The models from the 90s had their issues and I think their reliability is overstated to some degree, but most Hondas in the aughts were just downright trash. Build quality, part quality, material quality, it all sucked. Lucky for them they got to ride on the…

I’m including up to the e36/e39 era as well, but not a model further than that. The M44 in the e36 was seriously one of the best engines BMW ever made. It was slow as fuck, but it would be slow as fuck forever.

Acura is the only one of those makes that even existed for the majority of the era I’m talking about. That would be why I wasn’t comparing them...

We’re gonna have to agree to disagree on that. BMWs were just as reliable. Not only did they use timing chains that would go half a million miles instead of belts. But Honda cheaped out on their accessories and supplied parts. All the while Toyota apparently didn’t learn rust was a thing they could prevent with good…

The factory bearings went out at 35k miles and were replaced under warranty by the dealership. Second set was replaced myself after 60k with non-OEM parts and lasted the remaining life of the car. My sister-in-law actually bought the car from me and drove it all the way to 170k without needing to replace them. That…
