I thought the GTI was rated pretty well for fitting infant seats. My condolences on the loss, though.

Unless you name your child “Abcde.”

You’re nominally correct but “Abcde” is objectively a stupid name.

Naming your children to be fodder for school yard bullies should count as child abuse. Then again, given the state of the US education system and the resulting widespread illiteracy, perhaps abcde is as far as the parents manage to get while learning the alphabet.

This is nonsense. Most manual drivers don’t destroy their transmissions, and if people are willing to buy manuals for driving enjoyment, they should have the option. We’re not talking about a 4 cylinder Toyota Camry here; this is the quintessential ///M car. And if being able to afford a car is a prerequisite for…

Just be honest and tell…

Yes, see the post above RE: Mazda 787B

Meanwhile I’ve always realized how proudly ignorant most boomers are.

Fuck off.

Oh, honey. 

ffs, I’ve been mechanically clueless my whole life and I’m way older than they are. Stop it with the stereotyping.

Is there a worst comment of the day? We need to award it to car snobs, who post about how dumb people are - on a post explicitly existing for “dumb” questions. Congratulations on making the problem worse.

Throw in a front bumper that’s 90% less black plastic, and I’m willing to talk.

I audibly laughed. Not a good sign.

Okay, so Toyota is totally trolling with that grill. It’s starting to creep around the side of the goddamn car.
