Would own. Would turbo. Would bag. Would spinner. Would pimp. Would have mo’ money. Would have mo’ problems. Would release comeback album. Would title it “LLV-R≠H8R”.

Welcome to the Garaged World, Will. I, like yourself am of the 6'+ group and I find that my issue isn’t so much the headroom, as it is the low seating position of most “conventionally” sporty cars. I make that “sound” when I get into and out of my wife’s car. It’s sort of a grunt squeezed out when I am forced to use…

Observation 1: You live in Alaska, shit’s tough. This shouldn’t be a surprise.

No, I imagine a base Mazda6 with an inline 4 does not compare to your V6 top trim Accord. It shouldn’t. That being said the Mazda6 (and Mazda as a brand in general) has often been hailed as more of a pure driving experience than other brands. Mazda6 feels like a car. Honda Accord feels like a really smooth, fast,…

Does it Honda Accord? By which I mean, “Feel responsible, responsive and smart while immediately being forgettable the second you turn off the ignition and step out?”

Neutral: There is nothing that is produced en masse that is ethical. Whether it’s the metal for the batteries, the materials for the seats, the rubber for the tires or the cars themselves. At some point you go far enough down to realize every major purchasing decision had to be constructed on the jumbled forms of…

En garde!

That’s a lot of money for a GM. #tongueincheek

Yup, that’s what I’d pay for it, too. Can’t help but feel the “...for a Kia” and “...but it’s a Kia” is just lazy thinking. Watch, I’ll do it too.

I’m convinced that design feature is so that every designer can claim to have given their car a pearl necklace.

Granted, the ones I posted were exaggerated. I was thinking more of the factory options that Ford put on the F-150 Sport.

Now I know you might be thinking it’s that mistake of a bumper on the back, and you’re not wrong. It is terrible. But look down....way down. Low profile tires on trucks make me angry in a way best reserved for Netflix Original season finale cliff hangers. Ok, cool you bought a truck. I respect that. Hey, you use it as…

Sedona, Sorento, Sportage, Cadenza, K900 and Optima Hybrid all hit $40k with various trims and they seem to sell just fine. Well, not the Cadenza and K900. There’s no shortage of top trim Sorento’s, Sedonas and Optima Hybrids out there, that’s for sure. I’d rather spend $40k on a Kia and know that they worked their…

I can’t think of much else I’d spend just shy of $200k on. Shoes for children in Africa comes a close second, as does a lifetime supply of Pez, but man...a Porsche turbo PHEV, or should I say “PHEW” (Plug-In Hybrid Wagon) does feel like the future.

I have no problem arguing with people on the internet. I’ve got three kids, so I’m use to circular logic, flawed arguments and name calling. When I do it online, though I’m allowed to swear and call people “dumb”. My wife won’t let me do that with the kids.

This car does make you think about the Hoonigans of the late 1970s. Given the 1973 oil crisis, everyone’s expections about automotive fun had to be dialed back a bit.

I drive every car into the goddamn ground. They are spent when I’m done with them. They welcome death and owe me nothing.

Well phrased, good sir!

This is about as Canadians as our news ever gets. Now, I’m off to get a Tims, read an actual newspaper and drive 90km/h the whole damn day.
