Pick any American core car brand - Chevrolet, Chrysler/Dodge, or Ford. Spin the trucks off (unless chevy, in which case you still have GMC) and shut them down - they’re not making anything worthwhile anymore (and yes, I include the C8 in that - fight me!). No one will notice. 

Of all the clones, Nerdle is the one I like the absolute least.  Very little redeeming value in it other than “plug random math equations in” - enough clones already.  

Found it - damn.  That...  didn’t she realize how that was going to go down?  

Hah!  I’m not the only one that did that!  Final guess too.  

See them all the time in Colorado, especially crossing the mountains.  

So get the shot.  It stops being a personal medical decision when it affects the others around you - that’s why pandemics are different than, say, cancer treatments, clothing choices, etc.  

This.  Loved my MkV.  APR tune bought me another year, but...  it was just trying to be excellent at everything, and thus was only very good at everything.  That’s not a bad thing - only allowed one car?  Top of my list (or the Golf R) - because it’s VERY good at everything.  But it’s not excellent or exceptional at…

Definitely depends on the car.  My BMW it’s perfect from the factory.  My Camaro, it needed to be tweaked a little less sensitive and is now perfect (they had to reset it for a firmware update a while back, and THAT was fun times).  

That all depends on how often you need them. The problem with winter tires is an assumption that there is a transition between “warm/summer” and “cold/winter” - there are lots of places where that transition either doesn’t sanely exist, or happens... well, dozens of times a year. Not everywhere is Buffalo NY, or north…

This.  I run on almost-snows (heck, they make them with the mountain and M+S ratings now) on an AWD BMW because snow/not-snow here can be impossible to predict 9 months of the year.  

This would about do it.  I’d strongly consider swapping the ZL for it.  

382 in the AMG CLA/GLAs?  Depends on “mass produced”.  

Sure, but that’ll matter in...  50 years?  At current turnover rates?  Minus ones limited by historical markers/etc...  

Thank God for a wife that has back issues.  She kept me all over back exercises for the last 11 years to avoid that!  

Don’t shop at scumlots :( 

Definitely on the list, now that I remember it! 

If I didn’t live where I live, that’d be an option - but I got rid of my NB Miata for good reasons (including the fact that it was a 3 month of the year car).  Good choice if you’re somewhere you can use it regularly though!

Oh god no. I’m at altitude - I don’t do N/A cars anymore, and this would be a daily - not a June-August toy. I’ve already got one of those (ZL1) - so FWD or (preferably) AWD is the way. 

Heh. I did the GTI two daily drivers ago - you can’t go wrong with the VWs for that one. Wise choice there too, as is the Mini for the “lols” right now. But yeah - I’m looking for the same thing, but less grown up I think. I want that giggle, a stick, and I don’t need to act grown up for a few years - because after…

I’ve got a ZL1 or a Mustang or Challenger would be on the list. The ZL1 will never leave the stable unless I swap it for something silly and insane (Lambo or Ferrari :p). Good choice! Great way to go out.
