The BW parkway recently, am I right??? I’ve lost a rim to it. I had 18” Audi RS rims on it, but the roads are too bad for them. Had to put these 17s back on.

Love my manual fast wagon. Room for my bike, plenty fast and well handling (with an APR tune and conservatively tuned coilovers), comfy for long drives. It’s as fast as my sports car, more comfy, and more practical. I’ll never need another car!*

Does it come with the Camry dent from the factory, or will the astronauts have to add it themselves?

Amen!

Black holes. Yes. That’s what the potholes here are like. 

Actually...

They need to put that congestion plan in place. I used to live in London before congestion pricing, and going back now the difference is massive, in both traffic and quality of roads.

I live in NYC and my daily commute revolves around cycling to work.

Every time I got one of these as an Uber while in Japan I felt as if I’d hit the jackpot. By far the most comfortable car to be a passenger in, save a Rolls Royce.

When i was 16 I put a cold air intake and whistle tips on my 93 Buick LeSabre. +5 HP to the 3.8 liter V6.

I keep thinking of selling my two cars (Audi A3 wagon and MR2 Turbo) and consolidating into one car, but the fact that they’re both manual makes me want to keep them until the wheels literally fall off (which I hope is never as I’m a pretty fastidious maintenance schedule keeper.)

Kurt - from a fellow photographer, let me compliment you on your amazing photos and talent behind the camera. These shots are fantastic, and your writing is top notch as well! It’s always a treat reading your articles and seeing your photos. Thanks for sharing! 

Is it just me, or does this car look very narrow? It almost looks like the opposite of a wide body. A narrow body kit. 

I really think they probably mean “automated manual”, ie flappy paddles on an autobox. One can dream, though. 

Looks like a CLA that’s squinting at you. 

If they bring a manual Mercedes to the US market I’ll change my handle to Jennifer.

As another local DCer said to me today, to be fair, you kinda have to be drunk at IAD. Not a lot to do there.

I just started this process with a 91 MR2 Turbo I got on BaT. Ordered a 3S-GTE engine and completely reassembled it, now hoping to drop it in soon alongside the new suspension, exhaust, and seats (all OEM!).

More high end cars need fabric seats.
