Surprised there is no fire extinguisher, I thought super cars are supposed to regularly go up in flames.

I went to college in Boston. Every day, students would cross straight over Huntington Ave, across the tracks, and jump the fence on the E line, instead of walking an extra 50' around the fence. At least once a week I would see trains come to a sudden stop because kids jumped right in front of them. Somehow, a large,…

And this is where the compromise is, it’s still a Focus

Hyundai Veloster

My first concert was Motley Crue at the Spectrum

As I sit here with the 24 hour news shows on in the background, and I hear more and more pundits say something along the lines of “...the nomination of Donald Trump will mean the destruction and end of the conservative movement and the republican party as we know it...”, I’ll be honest, it kind of makes me want to…

I like this, but I think they should have dropped the wire wheels in favor of something slightly more modern to go with the front end.

Perhaps you are right and subjective isn’t the right word. My point is that measuring performance is dependent on what aspect is being measured: a Prius can out-perform a Corvette when measuring MPGs and the ability to carry 3 passengers...not the best example, but the best I can come up with at the moment. I feel…

Performance might be the most subjective thing about cars as it is based on the needs of the driver at the time. A dragster performs great in a straight line. Put it on the streets of Monaco or the banks of Daytona, and its performance would suck.

Cool, thanks for the tips!

My wife just bought a Veloster R-spec about 2 weeks ago. I had the chance to take it out today for a good hour long drive down the the Taconic Parkway (upstate NY) and back though some county roads. It was fun to drive, comfortable, and it fits 2 kids with car seats! Suffice to say, when it is my turn to get a new…

This was on my wife’s shortlist because she loved how it looked. But there were two deal killers: no manual and the dash layout with the display just sitting on top of the dash.

How difficult was it to find an HRV with a stick? I called a few Honda dealerships about that option and they pretty much all laughed at me. Although, one of them said they would be happy to order one, but it would take several months and I would need to put a down payment on it. Needless to say I passed on the offer.

My wife just bought one of these, an R-Spec even. Her criteria for a new car was pretty simple: manual transmission, SiriusXM radio, no leather seats. Unfortunately, this combination is not easy to find.

Didn’t Infiniti already do this...13 years ago? Oh wait...the Lincoln has LED tail lights, never mind

Best: 10 year old Toyota Camry - It started every single day, didn’t cost anything more than gas and oil changes all year, and I don’t have to worry about my kids destroying it.

Not for nothing, but you seemed to care enough to click through.

Yeah, that back window doesn’t make any sense to me no matter how many times I see it.

Are any other naval forces in the world using a design like this? On looks alone, it is quite menacing; I would not want to wake up and see it on the horizon.
