Car talk is still entertaining though even though their advice is mostly just comedic. I haven't tuned into regular ass radio in a while so I haven't heard any of this "Men in America" nonsense. It is disturbing me to think that any car-maker has done away with "dipsticks" unless of course its Tesla...

Not on my C7, if you shift gears it re-engages automatically. Also, there is a "resume" button on every CC I have ever used which returns you to your previous set speed, so resetting your speed is as easy as pushing a button.

You know, I thought I would care about this more, but the space that not having a traditional handbrake saves in my C7 is worth it. The cup-holders are to the right of the shifter instead of directly behind it. Still a little unnerving trusting something electric to keep my car from rolling away...

As my grandmother old me, it wasn't for use while the car was moving....GROSS GRANDMA!

I don't know about that, my 2011 WRX had some pretty modern fabric and the driver seat bolster was faded when I sold it after 3 years.

I just went on a 2850 mile road trip, having cruise control was essential to making 900 miles in one day. My leg would have fallen off if I had to hold it in one position the whole trip.

Well I am glad to hear you realize your comments are off base. The stigma here is "Its a girl's car" as in the possessive 's meaning "belongs to". In other words, having very little to do with the way a car looks.

I did own a Miata for a few months, I decided to try it after owning an s2000 (02) for several years to…

The thread is about undeserved stigma. The Miata's stigma of being a "girl's car" is undeserved. It's the product of ignorance. "Look, it's small and cute, it must be for girls" <Not a good example of critical thinking

You put your sister in a used BMW instead of one of the most reliable vehicles on the planet. Why?

It just means you have some maturing to do. At some point, you will realize that none of this shit means anything. Does driving a "girl's car" make you less of a man? Is there something wrong with being a girl? Does the image that your car projects mean more to you than driving fun?

If you pull up in your Miata with…

Not a Jalop, get out.

I'm one of those people whose automotive obsessions change on a weekly basis. Hourly sometimes, even.

Rest in peace little Guero

what! My 2014 GM car doesn't even have a CD player, I thought they stopped making them!?!?!

Or the less informative "how much does it cost to fill up?" Since you know, that tells you what exactly...how big the tank is? how close to empty I let it get? whether it uses premium or regular? It scares me to think that some people consider this valuable information.

This is HONDA we are talking about. Have you seen the new NSX in showrooms yet? Exactly...

It will probably retain a rearward bias unless slip is detected. Also, you called the F-type ugly which has me seriously questioning your eyesight...

Please elaborate on what would make the GT-R a better daily driver over the Z06.

But it is heavy and big...

Agree but only certain cars can really pull it off.
