I took a turbo 3 for a spin not long ago, and frankly, I kind of felt the same way.

My Mazda3 BM isn’t exceptionally quick, but it’s fun to drive. It has excellent steering and brake feel. The six-speed stick and clutch do exactly what you want them to do. And it’s a decently practical car, if a bit tight in the back…

Maybe they could sell the EV-1 in Europe....

...what.... too soon?

The Firepower however is a car you might actually enjoy really long cruises in.

That’s an interesting take, considering the “polish a turd” comment is exactly what the SRT team said, word for word, during a chat session on the SRT Forums in 2006. At the time, the SRT team would hold monthly chat sessions on the different forums, SRT Neon, Magnum, Charger, Viper.

“but name another with a 155 MPH top speed going for a similar price”

Probably a lot how Carroll Shelby felt, when Lee Iacocca asked him to help Dodge in the early 80s.

Renault is Nissan pronounced with a French accent, or maybe Nissan is Renault pronounced with a Japanese accent. Anyway, same fucking thing.

Honda Crosstour:

MHEV systems don’t produce major gains in fuel economy in the U.S. market, primarily because they are used only to boost power on luxury models. ***In other markets, particularly in Europe, these systems are often used to fill power back in for detuned or smaller engines.*** Those setups have noticeable gains in fuel…

But the emblem said Ferrari, 2009—$24000, today—$57000

This. The amount of dirt and dust that sits on the lip of the wheel at the seal alone can cause issues. Add water, rust, and an old tire and you’ve got a bad seal. Had a tire lose pressure on a freeway onramp from being pulled just enough off the seal after a long winter of sitting.

Rust on the rim. Get the tire off, clean the rim with a metallic brush and remount. Problem solved.

This is a wet fart in an elevator of a car.

Window tint was a smart choice.

1: Do asshole thing and show it for all to see.

Once again, the actual answer is Subaru. Get an outback or a forester. More room but still easy to park. All the off road capabilities you probably need since you didn’t say you needed anything more than the boxy shape of the jeep. Better gas mileage, better at being a daily driving vehicle, can confirm the outback…

And the Volvo T5 engine too

I currently own a manual 2008 Honda Fit... and I’m guessing the Fit you drove was also a 1st gen model. If I drive it hard, I get about 33mpg. If I take it easy, I get around 38mpg. If I hypermile, I can get into the mid 40s.

In 2015 I inherited a manual 1997 Chevy S10 with a V6, 4WD, no air conditioning, and manual roll-down windows. It was rusty and worn out and tired.
