I wonder how the Integra Type S compares to those cars when they’re similarly optioned. I could be off mark here (haven’t really been in the market for a new car lately), but I always kind of got the impression that European automakers’ “starting at” cars were a bit more barebones.  Although, admittedly, I think a lot…

I maintain that Passengers would have been great if they had made it into a psychological thriller instead of an action romance. Maybe have the audience POV start when Jennifer Lawrence wakes up and you get to kind of figure things out with her. It would be cool seeing Pratt as a villain too instead of the overused…

I know it was tongue in cheek, but I don’t believe the bugeyes (with the EJ20) had issues with ringland failures. I was under the impression it was only the 2.5 liter engines that did. I think the main mechanical knock on the bugeye models were having a fragile transmission, but even that I think got more or less…

You got me to play wordle for the first time in months. 4 guesses (Fortunately I didn’t fall into the -ound trap).

I’m sure r/fuckcars is already all over this. 

They’re no doubt good tires, but you might be overstating the wet grip. Most high end UHP all-season tires are going to perform better on a wet road (at the expense of performing worse in the snow). Still, Tire Rack actually ran a direct comparison of the CC2 vs some other Michelin offerings (including the Pilot Sport…

If you want UHP summer tires again, Michelin leads the pack still with the Pilot Sport 4S. Other considerations based on price: Bridgestone Potenza Sport, Michelin Pilot Super Sport, Continental ExtremeContact Sport.

I hate all of this so much.  

I continually find the CX-50 incredibly handsome. I legitimately have no clue what my next car is going to be (and hopefully I won’t have to think about it for some years still), but I’d at the very least be test driving one if I was in the market for a family vehicle today.

Ugh, this hits too close to home. Have an old car that’s actually in decent shape (it’s drivable, not mid rebuild or anything), but needs some TLC (and to be driven!) more than I’ve been giving it since having kids. Or at least having kids is the excuse I say for not making time for it.

I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t realize the Maxima driver had a Gotye music video playing on is head unit until rewatching just now.  This man is an enigma. 

It was the example used in the original QOTD post.

Yeah, I’ve got absolutely nothing against Volvo. Their PHEV V60 would be just about my ideal dad wagon (just can’t really afford it). I just love the simplicity of that particular failed demonstration.

My mind immediately went to funny car videos. The first one that popped in my head is the Ford Raptor that makes a jump and lands rather catastrophically. But then I remembered this old, trusty Volvo auto braking failure video. There’s another one out there where someone gets hit at low speed, but for my money, I’m…

This probably had more to do with me starting to really pay attention to cars when these came out, but I feel like I need to toss some love to the SN95.  I feel like these things were everywhere in the mid 90s. 

You gotta tell guests on this segment not to wear white. Nate has arms.

Is this one of the few times “ironically” would have been more appropriate?

Miata or Wagon

I adored Nardo Grey when Audi started using it on RS cars, and even kind of dug the non-metallic look on some of the TRD tacos/4runners, but that look is definitely getting overplayed now. So pretty much just like any other trend.

I just learned this within the last month or so (although it was in regard to cartons for chicken broth and such).  I’m definitely appreciating the lack of glugging in the kitchen.  Going to have to try it with my next oil change too.
