Thanks! Like the suspension, I haven’t researched superchargers enough to have an opinion about what’s best.

You can read all about my BRZ as a Right Foot Down project car: http://www.rightfootdown.com/category/cars/rfd-garage/gt86/

Fair enough! I’m in north central MA and could meet you somewhere. Hit me up at jhughes@rightfootdown.com if you want.

KBB gives me a trade-in range of $12,540-$14,355 in very good condition with 45k miles. I got $15k for it. Maybe the Jalopnik bump helped? :)

Yes, it is a manual. My wife’s problem with the BRZ was some combination of the shifter location and its notchiness that caused her shoulder and back pain when she drove it (she has chronic back issues). Most cars, including the WRX, have a lower shifter relative to your seating position, a longer throw, and less…

Nameless Performance, 2.5" inlet, 5" mufflers.

Two years. Fortunately the WRX holds its value well, unlike the three year old BRZ that I took a $10k bath on. I firmly believe that everyone who wanted a Toyobaru got one during the first two years of production, because sales and values have plummeted since then.

Bitchin Camaro!

Neutral: I did buy a car in February - a 2015 Subaru WRX.

Not only that, the US is proposing a 100% tariff on motorcycles under 500cc imported from Europe in retaliation for the EU not wanting America’s growth hormone and chemical filled beef. Because beef and motorcycles have everything to do with each other. 

Here’s some irony for you - the most obscure car I’ve seen in the wild is a Puma GTI, as featured on yesterday’s NPoCP.

Neutral: Toyota probably won’t do it because they already have the 86. Sports cars and roadsters don’t sell much because there are so few enthusiasts willing to drop the money on a new impractical car. Even I just traded in my BRZ, which I bought new, on a two year old WRX. I personally believe that everyone who…

I don’t care what Mitsubishi calls it. I’m still going to call it the Mitsubishi Aztek - or, if I’m in an even more bitter mood, the Ass-tek. Because it looks like ass.

As a writer myself, I find these analytics utterly fascinating. This was a case of you having the right article in the right place at the right time to score a ton of views (and ad revenue). Not only that, the fact that people were sticking around for so long means that you wrote the article well and told them exactly…

I think this era will be best known as the beginning of autonomous cars, as regular cars begin to gain partial autonomy (adaptive cruise, automatic lane keeping, Tesla’s Autopilot, etc.) Alex Roy, Carl Reese, and Deena Mastracci will be up there with Horatio Nelson Jackson and Sewall K. Crocker, the first people to…

I saw one of these in Puerto Rico! I had no idea what it was, so I asked Torchinsky. Naturally he identified it immediately.

I agree with you eight million percent.

I’m with PG 110%. The fact that my wife’s Ford Flex EcoBoost is parked in our garage means that I’m extremely biased. That 3.5 twin turbo V6 is the same engine as the LeMans dominating Ford GT. So the Flex is basically a GT with more headroom, right?
