Remember when Jalopnik wrote about cars? I miss that car website that was written by car people for car people.

This is like the anti-Supra. Understated instead of over-styled, distinct nods to its heritage. Give it the 400hp TT V6 and a stick, price it in the low-40s to compete with the Mustang GT and undercut the I6 Supra, and you’d have to win hearts and minds of enthusiasts everywhere, right?

Or better yet, a LeBaron convertible.

RIP little Mustang in only your sixth year of service.  

Make no mistake, no politician, D or R, wants to run afoul of the fossil fuel lobby. Besides, there are a lot of blue states that depend on the oil industry.

This is what public transit is for. E-bikes are open to the weather, require an initial investment, and are far more dangerous.

ohhh no you don’t get back here, you no no no no one gets away nuh uh sorry no

yes YES YES

Kinda want to see the Changli screaming Jimmy Barne’s part in “Big Enough”

Neat. I prefer this over independent setups.

While a lot of Grand Tour has been bloated I really think that the Mongolia episode (in which they assembled “John” and drove it across the steppe to a town called Moron) was on par with their best TG efforts like Viet Nam.  It had enough bloviating and cocking about to assure you knew it was them but at its heart was…

I drive a Miata - the horn is the *only* thing that ensures the SUVs clogging the road have any idea I’m nearby.

10 below the speed limit is not safe.

I keep expecting other drivers to be capable and willing to use turn indicators properly. I can’t tell you how much trouble that has gotten me into.

I’m driving straight and starting to slow down for a right turn, Karen or Ken comes from side road and tries to roll through a stop sign? (Not a yield sign) I do not use my turn signal and take the turn at a faster speed than usual. You keep me guessing? I’ll keep you guessing.

My worse habit? Puddles (yes I have the mental age of a 10 year old sometimes). I love driving through them, after of course checking that I’m not gonna blind anyone else with water or soak a pedestrian, as I have done that once after leaving work, just saw this huge puddle at the end of the driveway onto the…

When by myself almost hitting or letting aggressive asshole drivers hit me, excluding massive busses and semis as hitting me/them would end with me as a red paste. I will react enough to avert an actual collision but will cut it extremely close. When any passenger is in my car I drive very conservatively and…

Why not Subaru Brat this, bolt on some seats, and make a modern rickshaw?

Honestly, I’d be into a 150 HP version.

It makes me irrationally happy that you get to see the car that you loved owning for so long just by looking down the street.
