Lost my pops last December before last and he had bought a Harley some 10 years ago. He wanted me to have it even though I’m not:

When I’m in a traffic jam I try to look at the brake lights 2 cars ahead. Can’t do that if you can’t see through the car in front of you.

Hopefully we load it up with butter tarts and Coffee Crisps before it flies to Ukraine.

I don’t think the Justy was the last vehicle sold in the US with a carburetor. It looks like it was an Isuzu.

As I’ve gotten older, I’m finding myself gravitating to the admittedly “boring” OEM+ style. Basically a stock body with as many original optional parts as makes sense. I went wild with body kits on imports in the early 2000s. So now a clean S14a with all the OEM aero, R33 GTR wheels, a simple Nismo suspension and a…

This is an astoundingly bad take. Hatchbacks came first. Sedans are terribly impractical compared to hatchbacks. It’s nice for you that you don’t need a hatch, since you don’t like them. but there’s no logic in your argument.

It’s why twitter *had* verified marks. Now scammers buy bluechecks.

Compare that with car-sales data from CarMax: The used-car retailer says that in 2020, only 2.4 percent of the vehicles it sold were equipped with a manual transmission, compared to 26.8 percent in 1995.

So glad KngT suggested the Mazda6 Wagon. That’s my answer, for sure. The money would be in your hands right this minute, Mazda, especially if you offered it with a manual.

I like what Mazda does with the 2.5 Turbo. Premium is not required, it has two power outputs - 227 HP or 250/256 HP and 310 or 320 lbft based on the rating (87 or 93) and you can use Regular no problem. They advertise this and let the consumer decide. More manufacturers should do this IMO

Fuck “emotional blackmail”. Seriously? A two-year-old child was abducted, FFS. It could literally have been a life-and-death situation where seconds counted. What the hell is wrong with you?

What are the chances this IS a hazmat situation, but they try to play it down so people don’t start pointing more fingers?

>>Unlike a lot of other vehicles these days, you can actually get the Subaru WRX in some good colors

You know what immediately makes me want the Puegeot over the Golf?

Yo Dawg...

So, who exactly is this thing for?

Both springback and crumpling problems are the result of faster work hardening in stainless steel relative to carbon steel. The crumple zone thing is just a math problem. You can certainly account for decreased plastic energy dissipation in the structural design. But if boy wonder already had a product launch before…

You’re way off.  No kid in 2001 would say “gnarly”.

hmmmm
