My bad.

Named “Tony?”

I’m not a big guy. A Miata fits me like a glove. (I had one as my daily for a over a decade.) But after driving an Avalon a while back, I want one too.

Very well put. “...they’re as preciously and pretentiously engineered as any Singer Porsche” is worth a star by itself. 

I don’t want to join you, but will likely have to.

Well, it’s at a drag strip, so there’s that. 

Nice MR2.

I’d be all over this if there were a FWD, non-lifted, non-clad version. Where I live we get less than 3 inches of snow in an average year, so the weight/price/fuel efficiency penalty that goes with AWD doesn’t really pay off.

Yeah, I remember that “longer, lower, wider” ad campaign.... Because I’m probably older than Alanis’s daddy. I guess Dodge is trying to become the Harley-Davidson of the automotive industry.

Japanese football (soccer) fans cleaned the stadium after a word cup win...

I’m 61, and found out cargo shorts were uncool about a year ago, I think. I still wear them, though. I’m divorced, I’m losing my hair, and I don’t have much money, so it’s not like a new pair of pants is gonna suddenly turn me into Idris Elba.

Holy shit. Charlie Brown and Snoopy taught me who Vince Guaraldi was.

Yep. Very common. “Main drag” dates at least to the ’60s, prolly earlier. I grew up hearing it a lot  

...and he writes with a fucking Sharpie.

In the rest of the world outside the U.S., the existing Mazda6 is a “large car.”

No doubt. But being lighter than an Indian or HD porker is not saying much.

“...it weighs an astonishing 88 pounds less than before...”

I thought it was a Sonett.

You may have stumbled on the actual reason for the delay.
