Too much facts and figures comparing cars and you’ll end up in a Prius. People buy cars they like, and avoid what they don’t like. Plenty of people absolutely do not want GM or any American car even if it’s the best on paper. I skipped over all the on-paper superior cars in my segment, CT5, IS350, 330i, and went…

I think you’re missing the point of the car. You said it’s still comfortable on the road and daily-able, which is where the MC20 shines compared to other supercars in its price bracket.

2 fires after ignored check engine lights doesn’t mean GR engines are known to grenade VERY easily...

Everyone says this but none of the cars I’ve been around with sunroofs have leaked. This includes a 928 from the 80s, every single car I’ve owned that’s not a convertible, plenty of older cars for sale at the dealer I sold for that I took through the car wash, etc. Some make noise like our MK7 GTI or my current Giulia…

So... basically follow the manufacturers recommendations? I get if you’re relying on a junker to get to work that you need to be careful and not only keep up on maintenance but make sure you don’t break anything, but I think it’s funny when people get their panties all bunched up about things like this on normal…

There’s no absolute too fast, just too fast for conditions or tires/brakes. Driving on the interstate through a city with lots of traffic? Totally different than driving through the desert in New Mexico or Nevada where you can see miles ahead on flat wide roads and there’s very few other vehicles on the road.

Except it’s not though, right? You could say it’s the ultimate snow machine, which it still isn’t because an actual snowmobile is better still. It’s heavier than a snowmobile and less powerful (NA Miata was ~130 hp max stock, my Polaris 850 is 165 hp).

What’s wrong with buying based off of that 10% use case? If it’s actually 10% that’s every other weekend.

I really hate that the rental car option is always brought up. I spent my hard-earned money on a nice car, why the fuck would I ever want to consider that for a long road trip when part of a successful road trip is limiting stress, limiting unknowns, and maximizing comfort on the trip? If I rent a car I’m stuck with a…

I came here to say the same thing. Technically yes it’s a convertible, but a true convertible Corvette of a similar vintage really can’t be driven with the roof down in winter. Rear buffeting is significant in my C5 and there’s no good place to put a wind deflector. Other convertibles that have one are definitely…

He’s 100% an attention-seeker. He’s done all of the following:

Exterior? It can go either way. My car definitely looks better clean, but I haven’t been able to wash it for a while due to waiting on a replacement windshield and the salt turning the wheels white actually looks pretty cool. My Corvette I almost never wash since it’s only driven in good weather and a little dirt…

Pretty much my feelings exactly. I couldn’t pick out a single Kendrick Lamar song on a playlist, for being considered by many the greatest rapper of all time he gets no airplay on our local top 40 radio (don’t listen to it much anyway unless my wife’s driving). I wasn’t offended at all, but I read articles saying all…

Definitely consider a Giulia Quad if you want fast and unique with 4 doors. It’s not a manual but 500 hp with an amazing engine note, and way under budget even brand new. And you can get it in green.

None of them.

I’d love a purple car, if a car that I actually wanted was available in it. I would have totally gotten a CLA45 in Northern Lights Violet if I could have afforded one at the time. But a couple cheap cars, a boat, a modern BMW, and then ridiculously expensive luxury cars are not what I’m looking to buy. My dad does…

Agreed, IMO the only acceptable headunit upgrade is a factory one, like Porsche’s carplay unit for their classics.

Everyone always gives the autopilot in planes lecture, but we all know there’s two types of autopilot: real airplane autopilot and “sci-fi autopilot.” Sci-fi autopilot as in Star Wars where Anakin gets in the Naboo Starfighter and it takes him right to his destination without touching anything.

Normal Toyotas are not going to be future classics, sorry. The AE86 was an anomaly, nothing else out of Toyota’s economy lineup from 30-40 years ago is really all that desirable from a classic standpoint.

I was going to say you can get a used snowmobile that runs for like $500, and it will easily do 70+ without all the headache and the track falling off, plus in deeper snow than a kart that’s basically rubbing the ground all the time.
