I’m in Ohio and I’ve never had an issue. I’ve daily driven everything from a Porsche 944 to a 1996 Corvette to a 1955 Chevy to a Beck Spyder replica year round without incident. I’ve just never found the expense necessary and I haven’t had a problem in 20 years of driving here.

I find these tires just fine over the

It took me a second to realize there wasn’t an epic drum solo going on. That thing sounds incredible!

I run Bridgestone Potenza S-04 summer tires on my Focus ST. They told me I’d be killed to death in the winter on the forums. Not yet. It’s possible to run summer tires in the snow if you slow down and increase following distance.

I’ve gone two winters, soon to be three, with no issues at all. All season tires are

I like my stickers. They came with the modifications I’ve actually done. A buddy owns a car cleaning products company, so I have a sticker of his, too. I also have a Jeremy Clarkson “POWER!” sticker. They’re all on the rear quarter lights so I can take them off easily without damaging any paint.

Yeah, I’m 36. My car is

That sounds like Hell. My face is always on the clock and I pick the closest place I can find to the gate. Sometimes I get lucky and can hear the announcements, but 45 minutes until takeoff is “go time” no matter where I am. I don’t even look at a bar or restaurant unless I’ve been through security.

Eh, see. I even have a shorter commute to my eventual fate. Win-win!

Can you grab that plate up there in the cupboard for me in the meantime? I have no idea how it got up so high.

I flew on a Concorde back in the 1980s when I was about five. I’m sure my parents and other passengers appreciated the shorter flight time since I was, ummm, a “raucous” child.

I don’t mind longer flights now. Having not been blessed (or cursed) with the gift of height, I fit just fine in economy. Plenty of room to

This trend of electronic shifters is ridiculous. What was wrong with the old system? A column shift is in “park” all the way up and console shifter is in “park” all the way forward. No looking for indicator lights or pushing a lever four times.

Something as important as controlling whether a car moves forward, back, or

My 1996 Corvette LT4 had a few. The door sills were so high, you had to fall into it. The fuel filler was in the center under the rear glass. The reverse-opening hood took the fenders with it.

My favorite was the dashboard, though. In front of you is a 1/4 circle tachometer, a digital display that shows speed and

I could do this in my 1955 Chevy Bel Air. I loved freaking people out by pulling the key out at 65 on the freeway and tossing it to them. (I can be jerk sometimes.) I’m pretty sure keys didn’t lock in place until the 1970s or so.

Well that’s a pretty fucking good way to reduce user input. I made an honest mistake and all I can do is edit in that shitty response above. I visit daily, but the ability to delete would be nice when I make an error.

EDIT: Replied to the wrong poster. Is there a delete button around here?

I’ve always heard it was opposite the side the exhaust was routed for packaging reasons. True dual exhaust can pick whichever side, but it’s usually opposite the spare. My 1955 Chevy had the spare mounted on the passenger side and the filler was on the driver’s side.

The most useful app related to my 2014 Focus ST is Sync Destinations on my phone. I can quickly and easily input an address or business into the app and send it to my car before I even leave the house. It’s far easier than using the onboard search and since it uses Bing, it’s always up to date.

I know I can do the

Absolutely. I wanted to add the Sport Wheel Package and it made me change the interior color. The Sport Wheel Package includes a black headliner.

What do any of those things have to do with each other? That’s my biggest annoyance with these things.

I want a blue car with tan leather, standard headliner, and the sport

MAKE F1 DECENT AGAIN!

I do quite like the whine of the turbos, I must admit.

I have my own lengthy story about these little guys:

I drove across the U.S. in winter a few years ago in my S2000 on I-80. There had been massive storms in the west, and just as I was getting close to Laramie, Wyoming, I hit a patch of ice going about 45MPH, since that was as fast as you could go under the conditions.

W

This happens to me, too. I can’t really give an accurate response without seeing each of these options in person. I tell myself that’s why people end up with something else.

I’m going off magazine reviews, reliability research, and owner ratings. Unless I actually come along on each test drive (which I’ll happily do

Absolutely. My current car went through a process like this:

Step One: Buy Ford Focus ST

Step Two: Order $1000 in mods the same day that of course I’ve already researched

Step Three: Upgrade tires the next day

Step Four: Stay on boost and burn tons of premium for the WHHOOOSHHH PSSSSST!

Not cheap.

I always found that double standard between sex and violence odd, even in my own brain. If I were seated next to a kid, I wouldn’t hesitate to watch a violent movie on a plane, but would probably cover the screen if a sex scene came up. Example: The Terminator. Totally fine until Sarah Connor gets busy with Reese. I’d
