Regarding the Wrangler comparison, the bottom of a Wrangler is meant to get bashed and dragged on whatever you drive over. Clearance is great and everything, but at the end of the day you’re gonna drop on a pointy rock and whatever gets hit is gonna need to take some punishment. The bottom of this car does not look…

This is how I’ve taught everyone that I’ve taught to drive a stick. I also try to work in plenty of rolling 1st gear time in between the friction point efforts to give a sense of accomplishment and to reinforce the idea that, once in gear, it drives like any other car. Those tidbits seem to put people at ease since…

LOL right in the title. Only came here to say thanks for the chuckle.

It really does manage to cheapen the whole experience. The questions are fun but the rat-in-a-maze feeling about it just kills any enthusiasm to participate.

I have to replace (what I think is) the input shaft bearing in the trans on my JK. It’s been waiting probably a year or so already and I just don’t wanna. 

Sometimes when I see an article and I think “what a great idea!”, I scroll immediately to the comments to see what the smart people think. I appreciate you!

Now HERE’S a quality contribution. This is an excellent premise and I can recall many times in my life when just reading this would have jump started a long-sitting project. My JK once sat for 8 months with the transmission on the floor for a throw out bearing because I just never seemed to get to it and I had extra…

Man that thing is hideous. If it weren’t absolutely hideous, people wouldn’t be making excuses about how it’s not abhorrently hideous. 

I tell my 7 year old to look out the window and use his imagination. I’m not anti-entertainment but if you can’t be quiet, thoughtful, and self-amused in the car, where can you be? It’s a glimpse of peace in the midst of his perpetually sensory stimulated world.

The color range for the 2020 Miata was so overwhelmingly extensive I bought... White.

I’m not even interested in the headline, I only clicked to watch the slideshow bashing

I saw 60 on my Grom once! On a long downhill. Tucked. With a tailwind. 

I see what’s happened here. We are talking about different things. I’m saying if I want to go South and I’m in the lane to go South, which is slow, and you want to go South, but you fly past everyone else in the lane to go North, and then try to shove your way into the South ramp at the divider where the road splits,…

The warmest part of my day is seeing the unwavering contempt for slideshows. At this point, I only click on the article to read the ‘f#^% slideshows’ comments. It’s like when everyone at a slow merge packs together to collectively give the finger to idiots trying to wedge their way in at the end.

THANK YOU. Also the FC is gorgeous, I don’t care what anyone says.

Slideshow = Nope

Will this make it easier to V8 swap my JK? It’ll be plug and play, right?! All kidding aside, whenever the 3.6 decides to start acting up I’ll consider a V8 swap. I was leaning toward the LS, but I’m curious if the electronics would be any easier/play nicer with the Jeep systems. Disclaimer: I have done little to no…

That new Mazda fob is fat and dumb. The buttons on the side are awful. I got one with my 2020 Miata and promptly gutted the fob and printed a new case as small as possible around the board and battery. I omitted the buttons because they are entirely unnecessary and now the new fob disappears in my pocket, never…

So when does the great slideshow boycott finally do away with all the slideshows? I love the answers but I just can’t click through an article like I’m discovering the ten worst fashion fads of the nineties.

I could definitely see that. For me riding by myself, there’s always a lingering feeling that I’m on a stupid scooter among a field of steel juggernauts. In that sense, the Grom takes just as much awareness as a supersport.
