Glad to see you were able to put my wild ramblings about how the Supra is German to good use.

Toyota Yaris is the same way. Just had a “loaded” SE hatchback for a press loaner, no arm rest.

Casual Bachelorette reference in the headline.

The picture of me at the end really spruces this whole story up.

When I worked in auto insurance, we went to a technical school that taught the physics of a car crash. Part of that was seeing what happens to people in crashes. Watched a video of this happening in live time and almost puked.

Now playing

Skip the Mazda3 altogether, it’s gone dull, irrespective of transmission choice. Skip the WRX as well, the transmission feels like garbage and the rev hang between gears is so grating.

Yeah, Automobile is in rough shape. They will get shuffled around TEN to do something else, I’m sure.

Oh, great, another shitty “lifestyle” magazine. Have a few friends that work at Automobile, going to roast them for this.

All a 240 needs to drift is an LSD, or welded diff, and a bunch of drift spares. Our current missile, when it last ran, did great on track with the welded diff and a stock-ish KA24DE.

Stock S13 are basically perfect for amateur drifting! Great self-steer and plenty of angle to get started. Tell that wuss to harden up and get out there!

I’m a diehard, I’ll never give the manual up. I spend my money on better cars that don’t have poor drivability.

The current gen WRX has arguably the worst rev hang of any car I’ve ever driven.

It’s definitely there. Andrew and I shared the same car on the street drive. Not terrible (Hi, WRX!) but present. I would say it’s a bit more than my 2010 Si with the K20Z.

This 9 year old is better suited to the presidency than our President.

and then snap oversteer when ouu get frustrated with it. TBH, it’s just too much power for the packaging. A standard Atom with the naturally-aspirated Honda engine is fine, I’m sure. The Caterhams I’ve driven all moved plenty fast with their little Duratec engines.

People say that, then they drive them. The Caterham is much more approachable and less likely to spit you out of corners backwards.

Depends on how you quantify stronger. Biological differences in terms of things like bone density, muscle density, etc. are so varied between men and women, as well on the individual level.

what country do you live in? In the U.S. we have the lovely Accord Sport, or the V6 coupe, which both have manuals. We also have excellent Civic Sport. the tester I had was very well equipped, and had the 6-speed manual. Honda has always kept the manual available in most trims of the Accord and the Civic...

Definitely my mother. She is not a car enthusiast in the traditional sense, not caring to know the particulars about makes and models. However, she has always seemed to have good taste in cars.
