That personalized plate is sweet.

Ariel Nomad. It’s an Arial Atom in hiking boots:

A Garage. No scraping ice and brushing off snow, frozen wipers, waiting for warmup, slipping when getting in or out, etc. 

For the same reason people wear North Face jackets and Under Armour athletic wear to the grocery store - it says, “I have an active lifestyle that I spend money on”.

Well when the Toyota Sienna went hybrid, the curb weight went up by a whole 20lbs... whoop dee doo...

People often drive their cars to do common chores, it’s true. 

It seems like a simple, non-partisan thing to get through the legislature, but each position has merit, and each person on all three sides thinks that their position is obvious.

Contra-roating blades isn’t anything new in airplanes/helicopters either...

I owned an FK8 for about six months and eventually sold it for the same reasons the author is talking about. In the rare instance when I had an open stretch of good road, the car was an absolute revelation and made me feel like I could just keep pushing it. The other 98% of the time it just felt like a regular Civic…

I love the look and it’s a massive improvement (aesthetically) over the last gen. but I, too, am having some issue with that wing. It draws my attention for all the wrong reasons.

I love the look of the new Type R... except that stupid wing, it looks like something you would pick up for cheap from a low quality auto parts store, or even Walmart.

I’m speculating that, back in 2019, that’s how I got a brand new, $28,000 MSRP Volkswagen Tiguan, for $22k. Never confirmed it. Vehicle ran fine and I put 30k miles on it before trading it in last year.

Much like how the fastest car is a rental car, the funnest car to drive in the snow is your Friend’s Car.

Nothing will put a smile on your face like going sideways around an icy two-lane curve like turning the wheel on your Friend’s Car. Doesn’t matter what it is. It was always more fun doing donuts in a snowy parking…

RWD all the way.

Millions of people misunderstand this to be a sedan.

In my comment I said the same thing. I have 2 cars, one with a V6 and one with an inline 6 and while I love those cars and couldn’t choose a favorite car, the inline 6 is the better engine. It is much smoother and has better torque across the power band. My inline 6 is 1L smaller than my V6 but feels stronger on the…

The Chrysler Slant Six:

Well, I guess they learned their lesson from going no-button on their infotainment for a little while. Glad to see it.

I mostly like it. Too bad the beltline isn’t lower, and completely horizontal like Hondas of yore. This would enlarge the five rear/side windows behind the front seat, and improve outward visibility, and you know - enjoyment of driving.
