Oh fuck, I forgot about that guy. Such a tremendous asshole. 

Since crossovers are still massively outselling their hatchback counterparts, something like the C-HR would sell better than a straight Yaris. 

I’ll admit I have no idea how good (or not) the factory system sounds. All I know is that music sounds like shit over old bluetooth connections, no matter how good the system actually is. 

Get the nicest Lexus CT200h you can find, and save a boatload of money. Take some of that saved money and upgrade the speakers if the stereo is not up to snuff. I’d recommend getting a bluetooth adapter that can connect to the AUX port (I have this one, been going strong for 4 years https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0…

There’s still Willow Springs and Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. Both a little out of the way, though. I don’t count Thermal, since that’s completely inaccessible to the public without buying a multi-million dollar house

If they had made a crossover version of the new Integra (like the CR-V is to the Civic), then that would’ve made sense. Then they could make a hot version with the Type-R engine and AWD to go up against the turbocharged Mazda CX-5. They would need an automatic transmission that can handle the torque though. 

I believe Tavarish has already been there and done that. 

We have one with manual cloth seats, and that ones fine, but our newer one has heated/ventilated leather seats, and they are HUGE. Eats up a lot of the interior space, especially because the rear seats are also heated. Combine that with thea sloping roof line, and it's a tight fit

Is this Matt Farah’s burner account?

Our 2 Mazda 6's are getting smaller as our son is getting bigger. We’re looking to add a Tahoe/Suburban to the fleet to carry family and cargo around.

I’ve been using the Griot’s Garage Ceramic glass cleaner. I had one of those small sample/travel bottles in my car for a few years and kept forgetting about it. Tried it recently and HOLY SHIT does it work well. No streaks or residue. 

I think cleaning the windows a little more often is a worthwhile tradeoff to keep the interior cleaned and protected. Water just isn’t going to get the job done, especially for things like steering wheels, gear shifters, and HVAC buttons that get used constantly. You need some sort of cleaner to break down the oils…

Also, the ammonia doesn’t harm the glass, it breaks down window tint. 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aside from the Clown Shoe, BMW hasn’t had a really successful sports car offering. BMW’s niche is basically road-going touring cars. If people want a dedicated sports car, BMW is not the first thing they think of. That would be Porsche’s department. 

I’m only 6', and for me it’s the PEDALS. Wearing a size 13 shoe, using the pedals requires some pretty slim shoes in order to not hit the throttle when braking. At 6'8", that’s gotta be at LEAST a size 15. Another issue I had with the ND Miata (haven’t driven an NA-NC) as well as my own Mazda 6 is that they have…

In LA at least, the trains are great for getting you from the surrounding area INTO LA. Once you get there, you’re still stuck walking, biking, or taking a bus/taxi/uber to your final destination. My coworkers in LA and Sacramento have been taking electric scooters onto the trains so they can zip around once they get…

This is what I do. I live in the Inland Empire in SoCal, so there are a lot of mountains that separate the different towns. That means there’s often only 1 freeway that goes through/near any particular city, and it makes for MASSIVE traffic bottlenecks. I’d rather spend an extra 5-10 minutes taking surface streets…

I’m familiar with Bisi’s work. He’s an absolute madman and a delightful person. I met him at Radwood back in 2018, and you can tell his love for engineering runs DEEP. 

Nah, no real one. Just rumors, jokes, and renderings. 

I appreciate how Bentley hasn’t succumbed to the Screenocalypse. My favorite thing about Bentley’s (especially since VW took them over) is how they’ve carved out a niche in the hyper luxury space as the DRIVER’S choice of luxobarges. Maybach’s and Rolls Royce’s are meant to be driven in, but Bentley’s are more focused…
