I would, but because there’s a global pandemic I’m wearing a mask, so you wouldn’t feel anything if I did

Pretty sure that’s a Lambo dude

Was he an Italian driver?

Same here, although I’m only 6'3". Sat in a Miata at a car show and the top of the windshield was directly in my line of sight. I put the top up and my head made a bulge in the fabric. Legroom was cramped but tolerable, but then again I have a longer torso-to-leg ratio than normal (I’m only a 33" inseam). I also once…

In full agreement. The windshield is just too upright, and that makes it look like a clown shoe. The convertible versions were a little better, but once you put the top up, it looked like a clown shoe again. The Toyota 2000Gt is, IMHO, a better-looking version of the same vehicle.

True, but if you already have a 2WD car, adding snow tires to it is a lot cheaper than buying a whole new AWD car and you probably get 80% of the traction with snow tires and 2WD as you do with snow tires and AWD.

It seems that Outbacks and Legacys have had the fancier door-ajar light forever, while the smaller, cheaper Impreza/Crosstrek only got it recently.

I have a 2012 Impreza and it still only has one light to tell you if a door is open. However, it will also tell me when my windshield washer fluid is low, which is something I had not seen on a car before I got mine. It also doesn’t have a radiator temp dial, just a blue light that comes on when it’s cold and red when…

Is this what my friends keep talking about when they said they’ve all had SECs?

It was pretty much both. Up until the car was invented, large wheeled vehicles were powered by something not directly connected to the wheels (except for trains which ran on rails, so that’s not applicable here). Carriages are better thought of as trailers pulled by horses. None of the torque required to move them was…

I haven’t owned a lot of cars in my life, but that’s because the ones I have owned have lasted so long. My first car was a 10 year old Impreza, and I owned it for 9 years, finally having to part with it when it was 19 and had 235k miles on it (I had put about 150k of those miles on it myself). The exhaust had rusted…

I got my first car in 2010, and so I got the last of those Maryland plates. When I finally got a new car, I just transferred the plates over. As a fan of minimalism, I do have to say I like the older one better than the new one with the billowing flag fading into white. It’s too fussy. The older plate almost looks…

My Macintosh SE from the 80s has a text-to-speech editor too, and it works pretty well. I can type out a short story on MS Word 2.0 and copy-paste it into the program and have it read the story back to me.

Beetles are tougher than you might think. I’m sure it was fine.

I’m weird in that I’m 29, have had an iTunes account since I was 14, and I still own less than 1000 songs. I’m really selective about what songs I like, so that when I put on music in the car or wherever, I don’t have to skip too much, because I know I’ll like pretty much everything I’ve got. Sure, sometimes stuff…

I miss you!!! I need to hop over to Business Insider

You just have to fix the cigarette lighter 

Trump: “All the ILLEGAL Biden ballots were hidden in these Jeeps!!! That’s where they came from, and that’s why it looks like he beat me!!! It’s FRAUD!!! Stop the #bidenjeepvotes! STOP THE COUNT!!!!!1!!

I’ve been into cars since before I could walk. I don’t know if any one car did it, I think I’ve always been fascinated with wheeled vehicles. But when I was a kid, I was weird and I was into brass era cars like the Model T. When I was 13, my parents got me a Nintendo Gamecube and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. That…

They’re all for law and order, until they are the ones ordered to follow the law
