Okay, some people dropped some crap on you ^^^^^, but I am here to star you for the “Footloose Test.”
It has now entered my lexicon.

Dude, shhhh!
You’ll wreck the aftermarket if people find out their cars are more capable than they are off the showroom floor!

Not links, but I can give you the short story:
Congress.
Around the end of WWI, they made it more difficult to have mixed trains (trains with mail, shipping, and passengers). Lines split off. The car was given the blessing, intrinsically, by Congress when they authorized the US Highway/Interstate system.

When you rode…

Is this the 2.5 liter or the 1.6 (1.8?)?
If it is the 2.5, and the cats you mentioned are the pre-cats up near the exhaust port, there could be bigger monsters lurking. The substrate in those pre-cats breaks down and gets ingested in the ‘suck’ cycle due to extended overlap on the exhaust cam. This was done to…

Their Sentra is one of CR’s best cheap cars, actually. That said, I know CR and Jalops don’t always have Venn diagrams that cross.

I was also surprised to see that much vitriol coming from you.  I feel better that you walked it back.

This.
I was 999% sure I remembered the Mountain lumbering in, forcing her legs apart, and her starting to scream.
The only way to have implied it more would have been to make a porno.
That said, maybe it was cut from later versions?

Do we have a head to head comparison anywhere for the S to the Grand Touring I?  We are in the same stratosphere for price, so I wondered where they stood from a customer usage/enjoyment state.

Not a good, joke, but I see you working the premise. Drop it at the next open mic and see how it plays.
Take your star.

I also guess it is impossible for people to interpret hyperbole as humor.
The absence of volume, body language, and audio cues present in the written word pretty much mean everyone here thinks you would murder for damage to your cars.
I think you were making an exaggeration to further drive home your disappointment at…

So, crappy take here, but does anyone think that more people were walking who weren’t “good at being a pedestrian”?
I hate to blame the pedestrian even a little, but people get dumb when they stare at their phone.

Take your star for the far more esoteric reference.

For what it is worth, I wanted a Moeller, too.

Ahhhhh. “Air Gap”
Someone who gets it.  I am a little mad at how far I had to scroll through armchair quarterbacks to find one.

A lot of the adventure is going on instagram @davidntracy and twitter.

I am in Virginia, and we have Sheetz. I think I was in one once that wasn’t filthy and didn’t smell like feet and self-loathing. That may have been a fever dream.
Here, anyone with self-respect goes to the WaWa.

Well, then, WalMart Shoes, it seems we have different definitions of “gearhead”, and I am fine with it (just like I was in the OP.)

In my world, the person that is super into Hyundai’s is a geek. They can become a gearhead as soon as they crack the hood or crawl under the car (not exclusively of anything else, but you…

Well, I appreciate the feedback.
In retrospect, maybe there should have been a bigger gap between the two sentences. With the separation of clauses, they wouldn’t feed one another.

The only defense I have is that my local circle does not equate gearhead with enthusiast. We don’t think they are exclusive of each other…

I’m not really trying to make a bad faith argument. I just feel like I got blasted for having an opinion that is different from, like, two people out of those that replied.
Am I making a bad faith argument? I just didn’t let my half of the conversation get off track with tangents and “whatabouts”
Someone tell me if I am…

Nope. I made an assertion, one with which I am quite comfortable.
Then I asked a question.
The question was, technically, a “yes/no” question.
You didn’t answer that. You decided what my “standard” was (somehow extrapolated from the very few sentences I wrote and, apparently, nothing else), started talking about…

“Quit gate keeping.”
I said, right off the bat, “We have different definitions of ‘gearhead’.” Is it not okay that we have different definitions?

Also, it should be “... of an enthusiast than you or I me.”

“...to enjoy the mild confusion I’d sow among gearheads (at least the hyper-alert ones).”
