People who know what they are doing should know to expect the unexpected and that surroundings change. My situational awareness is fine, because I don’t think I know all, and I know things can change at any moment. Just because it wasn’t there when you checked before you got in, doesn’t mean it isn’t there now. Your…

To see a child that might be behind me, beside me, or directly in front of me. But it’s not just the rear visibility that’s bad, the front visibility is worse than a truck. The gunslit windshield is terrible. Our work trucks with shit almost completely blocking the rear window have better visibility.

I almost got a Camaro, the visibility turned me off. It is MUCH worse than the other two.

I am one of the few people who love the 6.0.

This is true. My FiST has to be driven very lightly in the rain, or else it just spins the tires.

Bulletproofed or really brave?

Too much for the conditions. It had been a while since it had rained, so the roads were extra slick. I pulled out of a parking lot in heavy-ish traffic in a pre-traction control diesel dually, gave it too much throttle, and suddenly 650 ft lbs of torque were trying find their way to the ground. That’s how I learned…

It also gained 2 doors, and the ability to not kill it’s inhabitants in a crash, all while still not having much more footprint than a Miata. Still small.

Within an inch or two of pretty much all dimensions...

My Fiesta is pretty damn small.

My Fiesta honks at me if I walk away and shut the door.

The S54 is a fairly reliable engine...

Inline Si(e)x noise>V8 noise. A BMW S54 with a unrestricted exhaust is God’s gift to the automotive world.

Has it broken 2.5 tons yet?

And X4, X5, and X6. I was at the plant yesterday.

No/Yes, they make the iM.

I saw one yesterday. Mmm. Admiteddly the Miura near it stole my attention when the owner fired it up and revved it for the crowd. But still, I wouldn’t kick one out of my driveway.

That’s what happens when try to keep pushing on a dated design.

If you think that’s bad, look up the GM 5.3 with Active Fuel Management. GM at one point stated that 2.5 quarts per 1000 miles was normal. And this was in their bread and butter.

Or just get a Corolla XRS with the 2ZZ... 8500rpm redline, LSD, 6 speed manual. Basically an Elise drivetrain at the front
