Reminder for readers in the US that the Daily Mail is less reliable than the weekly world news as a journalistic source - it’s a quasi-fascist rag that exists only to support old, racist, wealthy Brits and reassure their readers that everyone else is wrong and they are perfect.

I would say the S rather than the Roadster. The S was the first that was truly mass produced and showed that it could be piratical.

Man, I saw the preview image, assumed it’d be a hatchback sedan like the Stinger, and thought “Maybe this would work for me” - a comfortable vehicle for four adults but with the immense practicality of a hatchback with folding seats when you need it.

In real life he’s likely not going to prison for that. It was entrapment. Maybe they get him for breaking and entering? It wasn’t his gun. A good lawyer explains that Barry thought he had just stopped Gene Cousineau from killing Mr. Moss and wanted to warn Moss, but was afraid that Moss might be armed and waiting, so…

One thing I noticed in terms of theme is that everyone who sought Barry for revenge failed to get it (and all in a different way, including one person just quitting out). The person who sought Barry for justice succeeded.

“The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win, and their participants know it. Hence riots are not revolutionary but reactionary because they invite defeat. They offer an emotional catharsis, but they must be followed by a sense of futility.”

This clip has been making the rounds all week but some of y’all desperately need to see it.

There are two-door sedans, and there are four-door coupes. Lighten up, Francis.

It should be possible to find a decent used Jetta/Golf sportswagen for 15k. I had several through the years (still would if I hadn’t totaled the last one) and they were both high on practicality and driveability.

I notice most of these aren't bad cars, mostly built to a cost and served a low end market (and mostly well), or built far too long but decent enough at introduction.

No, they admitted to modifying the suspension of the Robin Reliants to make them roll because they couldn’t get them to roll any speed without doing that.

They’re trying to get the “go into deep debt forever to buy a fashionable, trendy thing that’s also Earth-friendly!” younger buyers who don’t consider enough of their futures to not get 7-year loans on electric cars they can’t afford, which is likely why they’re using Tiktok types to sell it.

Wait, I’m not driving or even providing the bus?

Has to be Drivel, er, Driven. A movie so bad that another movie used the same name a few years ago and nobody cared.

Scrolling on by too much like work for you?

I just don’t get it. I know it’s a tired point, and became one years ago, but I still don’t understand the love for it. I’m not disappointed by their food whenever I go or anything, but man. It’s as over-loved as In-N-Out.

My solve for similar constraints was a 2017 Outback. Bigish and comfy inside, a surprising amount of space with the seats folded, 32mpg highway, unstoppable in weather. I have a huge roof box on it when I have it full of people and gear and still get 30mpg. Got mine for $18k a year ago with 30k miles. Unfortunately it…

It shouldn’t be a thing but I think this is being disingenuous.  It’s a thing because of toxic masculinity.  Dissecting such things use to be a mainstay of this website, maybe you could peruse the archives.

Wait, no Reflex Purple TVR?

They didn’t come to drink fucking Merlot and that car didn’t deserve what it got.
