Come-on! Some of our grid-patterned mile roads actually squiggle around lakes and landfills!

“Is this the exit for Cars & Coffee?”

Am I the only one who thinks an exotic service center is not considered “in the wild”? This, car shows, and locked garages are their natural habitat. Seeing the car driven to or from the car show does count in my book.

“AC works, but needs a recharge.”

I’ve heard that story being circulated. If I can find the source, I’ll try to post it.

You are likely looking at red primer. It’s very possible that Ferrari uses red primer for red, yellow, and black paint jobs, since it works well with bringing out deeper tones in the paint. Then again, I wouldn’t put it past Ferrari to use red primer on all of their non-white cars.

I wish I had more stars for you! My Mom liked my G1 Taurus SHO, so we went to the dealer in ‘93 to look at one for her. The salesman said, “Gotta love that V8, right?” I told him he was wrong. Three more guesses, and he still didn’t guess V6, much less DOHC. (It’s labeled on the side of the car, you idiot!)

I’m no expert on this vehicle, but red is a common primer for yellow paint jobs. It gives it that orange tone, without looking too red. White underneath yellow can leave it looking pale. 

Why does my recommending a comment on this topic cause stars to disappear? Let’s hope is just a today thing.

His light blue Islero was featured on a Jay Leno’s Garage episode. He didn’t seem very excited to own it. Maybe nonchalance is part of his image.

I wish more people felt that way, so I could eventually buy one. (Or at least drive one.)

I don’t want an 80 inch TV, and I don’t want a Honda CRV. I just don’t know if I want an 80's Sirocco. I loved these back then, but I’ve changed. People buy the new Lotus (for example) for that light car, light steering feeling. This is a cheaper experience, and will also better preserve my driver’s license. 

That’s the most spacious basement I’ve ever seen! Lots of natural lighting as well!

I’m late to this conversation (December was BUSY!), and I can’t figure out why no one has mentioned that insurance on a sub-$4,000 car is a LOT less than a leased, $10,000++ vehicle. I sold two, good condition, 12 year old vehicles for $3,000 each, and the insurance on my brand-new, $22,000 car is more than both of…

Impulsive decisions are how we Americans are conceived!

We all know the back seats are there for insurance purposes and emergency transportation for drunk buddies.

In 10 years this will be on the NP or CP feature.

Probably used his flip phone camera. No pixels, shitty optics, terrible contrast, no field of view.

Higher beltlines of course being a symptom of SUVs and crossovers, which go right over the previous crash protection. Shorter vehicles will help reverse the problem.

Actually, Mazda gets points for consistency, there. They have a standard set of trim lines offered on all of their cars (not sure about the SUVs). They used to have an Economy trim, then Sport, then Touring, then Grand Touring. The features available on a “Sport” Mazda 3 match those on the “Sport” Mazda 5 and 6. And…
