I’m sure they had “car fleets and rental white” at some point. I’ve also seen them in the exciting colors of silver and dark green.

I agree. I think they triggered an “error mode” when they drove too far forward when the machine thought it was starting the wash. Probably needed to either completely start over, or manually press a reset.

Meh. Soup was probably too salty to freeze at that temp.

I tend to agree. A jet needs to compress the air, while this is only a ducted fan. 

Except we don’t have a true capitalism, either. It would be nice to remove corruption from government, businesses, and union leadership, but none of these will be easy to accomplish. Like “big government”, it may seem broken and inefficient, but it exists for a reason. Without it, people are being exploited.

Go ahead and suggest it. There’s a plea after every article to forward your submissions.

Everything about that Carrera is better than today’s Boxster, except maybe the Carrera price.

Advantages of sedans vs hatchbacks (using Mazda3 as a template, since it comes in both varieties):

I love how someone can say “full time gig as an Uber driver” with a straight face.

If the highly computerized transmissions cost several thousand dollars to fix, then the manual trans will be worth it. I don’t know what they cost, but the thought of a broken PDK trans scares me.

Some cars like to be taken to revved to work the engine through its range once in awhile. Does anyone know if BMWs are like that? I don’t mean tracked, as that’s a separate thing, but just taken to redline once every couple of weeks.

Yeah, two foot is not a big snake, even by upper midwest standards. Humans gotta kill, though. (Yes, the animal control officer should be fired.)

A patent is an idea, not a technology. Airbag technology was developed in the 80's. (Just to be pedantic.)

It’s not lazy. If you pay cash, you’re not being scammed by those strange, but legal ways financing groups (dealers or banks) can nail you. You might be able to do better financing, but it’s a little like using coupons all the time. Is it really worth the time for the actual, realized savings?

You are suffering from nostalgia horsepower inflation. According to the ever fallible Wiki, the GTP peaked at 215hp with the manual offered. Not bad HP for that era, but there are comments before this one commenting about the GM motor’s power delivery. When I read about the Z34 Lumina and Grand Prix GTP, I wonder why

Does this car also have “redrum” written on the inside?

If it’s the rear axle, you can do wheelies down the street, but can’t steer. If it’s the front, you can steer, but you’ll have to be really talented to drive like that, especially while looking at the ground.  

Beautiful cars making you lose your sh*T?

You are correct that I was primarily thinking about the turbo. NA would cut that cost down.

From what I’ve read, your maintenance on the 300z is going to far exceed the RX-7. If you can afford it, definitely go with the Z-car.
