Meh. They are really expensive to do AFTER you buy it, but it is extremely incremental on the assembly line. The labor is baked in. When people try to do it after the fact, you get 10 hours labor at 75-150 an hour.

Tires at replacement time: a grand, easy.

I think 4k is closer.

Base with Sasquatch IS intriguing.

If you put 350 HP in a Camry (would need to be the AWD, of course), then it kind of is the modern muscle car, isn’t it?
If I can get this new 3 sideways and feel like Ken Block, would that not make it a hot hatch?
I feel like our impressions of what cars “should” be stop somewhere in our formative years.  I mean, a CRX…

He is on the on-ramp for a minute.
I think the slow car is going slowly....

Neutral:
To begin, I don’t want to pick on Erik, but I have many questions:
1. What happens when you floor a Fit?
1.a. Are BQE onramps exceptionally long?
1.b. Or, are Fits really that slow?
2. What would happen to Erik if he got into a “fast car”?
2.a. Is the catharsis because this car is his baby?
2.b. Is it the car or…

How much of that does one need to do if their garage is 4 months old and stain free?

Have you driven a modern Camry recently?  They can be put to 9/10ths without a whole lot of ass-clenching....

Maybe because the last MS3 had about 300/300 HP/TQ, but unequal half-shafts, which made it whisper gently into your ear, “I want to kill you to death.”
As this one is only available with AWD, it seems Mazda may be trying to keep from murdering its customers.

Also, I am pretty sure it will be tuned at the ECU within four…

This.  I just had a gander; 2017s going in the high 20's asking, but could be had for less.

So, the wider tire is, according to one side of the argument, better traction through ‘floatation.’ The argument for wider is all about contact patch and obstacle completion.
However, the tire will center over the wheel. As it is now taller and wider, the inner edge of the tire runs the risk of hitting or ‘rubbing’ the…

Dude, I owned an ‘86 F150 with the bulletproof I6, manual, floor vent, triangle vent, bench seat, only gauge working was kinda the oil, and stump-puller first gear.
Lord, I hate how much I loved that truck.

Oh, my fuel bill is 10-25% of what it once was. I am good with that. I fully recognize the savings.
On the other hand, between me and my wife, we are on a first name basis with both Amazon and UPS drivers, and never have any idea what will be in the packages, so some of those fuel (okay, all of those) savings are kinda…

I moved into my new-construction house (mostly, as I am still figuring out photos and wall-hangings) 4 days before the WFH order came from my job.
The gym thing did not become a need until I couldn’t go to the one at work.

Do you have a permanent or “swing-out” squat rack?

Neutral: It isn’t about working from home that has me insane. As soon as I (and 350 million other people) finish their garage gym, I’m good.

What I miss are the people. I miss them before and after work. I am a little anxious about completely altering my world now that I am half done with life.

I will be fine with it…

My mom had and ‘87 Nissan Van (no special name, either). Pretty sure that was a similar config.
Did your toes double as a bumper? Did you sit over the motor? Was turning it akin to piloting a forklift?

I miss the crud out of that van.  She kept it after Nissan bought them back.  Then a seat bracket broke and it…

I believe they are all pre ‘95 ish. Fallen Empires, Arabian Nights, and Alpha.
Good move, especially as it affects nothing in their gaming community.

I think if I could work from home but still have my Cub Scouts (I am Cubmaster for my pack), my M:TG, and all the other social items that have been ruined by needing to be away from people, I could make it.
It is the WFH and the absence of all the rest that may be getting to me.

Thanks.  Sometimes it is just good to hear that my particular brand of crazy is understood and accepted by someone else.

Aww, you sleep? I am totally jealous! Regardless of exercise or bedtime the previous night, I am awake between 3 and 5 (and not well rested). BiPAP is working normally, house is the correct temperature (65F), and Alexa is playing “Sounds of Rain.” Nothing that used to work does any more for me.

I know part of this is…

Neutral: I think I know why I am a little slumped.
I have almost no variation in my days, no matter how hard I try. The cognitive intake I need to replace is that which I used to take for granted: The commute, the walking, the people (my work campus has 10k plus people on it), the variation, the walks around campus,…

“But I am aiming to semi-retire in ~4 years”
Also, “No Kids Just Bikes”
Name checks out.
