Joe Biden’s Christmas Carol?

They aren’t giving them away in Canada (Pulled the numbers from their sites a few moments ago):

As soon as they confirm the specs on the GTI and R I’ll make my Mk VII vs Mk VIII decision. If the rumours of a 400hp R are true and they don’t jack the price by some ridiculous amount, I’d be on board. 

Welcome to winter driving in Toronto. But to be fair, if this was rush hour at what looks like the 401 west of Bayview Avenue they wouldn’t have much use for forward visibility anyway.

The problem is the one of the left cost me less than half of what the one on the right would. And it’s not like it’s 50% less fun. But I encourage others to buy new so I can buy yours from you in 2029.

“Childish”?! 

I’ve owned a 2005 Canadian-spec Mazdaspeed MX-5/Miata for four years now. I bought it for myself, not for any future collectable value, as it was the one Miata I’ve driven (I’ve driven all four generations and owned an NA M Edition previously) that I always wanted. When the right one came up, I jumped on it. Matt…

Always makes me think of this:

They filmed some of the neighbourhood scenes on a street next to mine earlier this year. Was looking forward to seeing it. The trailer didn’t do much for me but I’ll always give Kurt the benefit of the doubt.

Or if you live in Canada...

I’ve had a pretty shitty week, and it’s only Tuesday, but this just turned it all around! Patrick Stewart back in his space suit would make me a very happy man. I thought for sure we’d get to see him it in The Orville given his relationship with Seth MacFarlane, but this - this is more than I could have hoped for!

Looks like it’s sporting a Camry dent in this shot.

My first Miata was a ‘94 M Edition. It was falling apart when I got it but I had the free time to wrench on it. Learned a lot. Sold it two years later for $800 less than I paid for it. I last all of two years before buying another Miata. I’ve actually had three cars fall in my lap that I kept less than a year. It…

Chronic sensor issues with my G8 (TPMS and O2) has certainly taken the sheen off my first two months of ownership. But generally I feel the itch after two years when I get bored with the routine and find myself perusing AutoTrader - with everything except my Mazdaspeed Miata. Every time I think about selling it I take…

Day three of ownership on my G8, CEL. Bad O2 sensor. It comes and goes. It’s infuriating. But I keep my scanner in the car just incase when it pops back on it’s not the O2 sensor. Still waiting for the dealer to make good and replace it free of charge as they promised to do over a month ago. It’s certainly spoiled the…

Pontiac G8 (GT or GXP). At least in Canada, where they were only sold for one year. And yes, because I own a GT. GXP Manual is the unicorn. Something like 60 Canadian-spec GXPs made it in, and of those, very few manuals. A manual Canadian-spec GXP: rarest of the rare of the best Ponti-Holden ever made.

Me: “RICK? What are you doing, man?! GAS TANK!! Before Negan gets away!!”

Me: “Well, at least Rick’s still got…
