Personally I don’t give a rat’s ass how many generations have vs. haven’t been offered with a hatch, I just know I don’t want a sedan.

I’m not sure I actually want an STI. For one, they have always seemed kinda breakage-prone and expensive to maintain. If I want that kind of experience, I’ll get something British or Italian that at least looks good on the side of the road.

They had a similar problem with the last Ford Wang “article” except it took them a lot longer to deal with the torrent of negative commentary and then rather than closing comments they just deleted all but a handful of less-negative ones (there were no actually positive comments) and people just started shitposting…

Subaru is leaving so much fucking money on the table by not doing a Crosstrek WRX. Somebody needs to slap some sense into Subaru’s board because the continued lack of a Crosstrek WRX is practically fiduciary negligence.

oh my god its happening again

That’s not how this stuff works, and it’s not limited to Amazon. You think rideshare and taxi drivers get extra training? Or drivers for other delivery companies? Or the guy who shows up to drop off that pallet of lumber you ordered, or install your new hot water tank? Even for pretty big trucks, you generally only…

If they don’t do a hatchback, I don’t give one single fuck about this car. I know I am not alone.

I always give them the best possible rating, every time without fail. Because it’s a shit job and when they do things that seem stupid it’s often because they’re in a race with some fucked-up algorithm which is imposing impossible demands on them on pain of losing their job. I don’t blame the driver when they leave my…

I’ve seen a few, and I think they look deeply awkward. They’re doofy-looking machines. Do not want.

To be fair, he’s not the only reviewer today saying that the Bronco’s road manners on asphalt are kinda crap. That’s OK though, the people who buy this are going to spend 99.9% of their time on pavement and will need an occasional reminder that they are driving an off-roader.

If you see someone with a pair of vise grips that big, keep them the hell away from your car.

Well, at least with those wheels we know the sketch can’t look anything like the eventual car. (Why do a design study where the central feature is huge, aggressively-stanced wheels that you know can’t make it to production? Seems masturbatory and unhelpful.) On the other hand, it sounds like Smart is now going to…

I was only talking about their tendency to be obnoxious while actually riding. Both Harley guys and sportbike guys often piss off everyone else around them when they’re on the road, neither group is better in that regard than the other as far as I’ve noticed.

Steely Dan is the shit. Easy listening, but with very clever lyrics about being bombed out of your skull on opium and prostitutes in some tropical backwater at the tail end of an empire. I dig it.

Sportbike riders are just as bad about that in my experience, just at a higher pitch. They also tend to be the ones weaving through freeway traffic at triple digit speeds. Always fun to have some screaming missile come flying over my right shoulder out of absolutely nowhere while I’m on my commute, and then blast off…

I feel like MR2 Spyders are set to come up in popularity now that prices on NA Miatas are getting stupid. MR2s are less practical and a bit funny-looking, but they’ve got that lightweight manual roadster goodness plus, of course, a mid-mounted engine. Lots of the parts are shared with other Toyotas from the era as…

Not the Kia Soul, starting in the 2022 model year.

Doesn’t Hyundai already make robots? Like, the big industrial non-anthropomorphic robots that get used to help build cars and ships and cargo containers and washing machines and the like, all of which Hyundai also makes?

Well hey, I install solar panels for a living. I can’t take full credit for each one I do obviously (I work on a team, and there’s the customer who actually owns them, plus all the people in the manufacturing and supply chain who do their part) but I bet if you break it down I’m still technically carbon negative. I’d…

Why not both? I’ve got plenty of torches and pitchforks to go around, let’s do this.
