It must be returned ... with one of your girls.

Probably just joining the choir here but they drive me crazy, especially with the people that, for reasons beyond me, tap their brakes rapidly. Is that a turn signal? Are they having a stroke?

No left turns, either. They really don’t trust you there, do they?

By all means I certainly wish a long and trouble-free future from your vehicle - but you cannot judge a vehicle’s long-term reliability on its first 15,000 miles.

*when ... and I keep telling myself the same thing

Damn you for giving me interior decorating ideas!

Some of those with a DCT would be interesting - I wasn’t a fan of the CVT in the WRX when I drove it. Some may consider that (former) statement sacrilege, but hey, at least it’d still be sporty.

Buy a FiST, throw some winters on it, enjoy your commute.

I was in the market around the time these came out and I was really interested in getting one. I took one on a test drive and knew as soon as I hit the on-ramp for the interstate that I wouldn’t be buying it. Granted it was a CVT, but I floored it on a slight incline to try to merge into traffic and it felt/sounded…

Do pilots have some sort of onboard directions to navigate runways? I can imagine getting turned around on that runway if I didn’t know exactly what I was supposed to do.

Someone in the biz told me he believes the growing number of recalls is an intentional ploy to get people back in the dealership to get repeat business and/or make a trade-in offer to bolster parts/service/used/CPO sales. Food for thought.

That being said, some of them will do this and either try to work more money into the deal on the…

The clock’s tickin’, they just count the dollars

A Grand Hellavan would be awesome / ridiculous

Why isn’t this called NASTAR?

I was really hoping this was in print so I could put it on the shelf in my office. Next to the Lego F40, presumably.

It’s unfortunate that Miller Motorsports Park (where they host the Octane Academy) is on the chopping block - I just got a FiST but don’t have the time to take off and visit the track this summer so it makes me a bit bummed out to know it’ll probably be closed before I get the chance to go.

You are not prepared.

I’d say it’s always a good time to play this type of game as long as you have someone to immerse yourself with - I always get bored quickly when I don’t play collaboratively.
