For many people, it is. Mine has been a flawless commuter/errand car for 4 years (and presumably for 3 years with the previous owner). It costs very little to run, is more fun to drive than any gas econobox and requires no trips to smelly, grimy gas stations.

As long as you aren’t granny shifting, not double clutching like you should.

This seems like as good a place as any for my unpopular (or very popular) opinion: 0-60 times are hogwash. All they tell you is one very arbitrary number, and from that you’re supposed to extrapolate what the car feels like to accelerate and how it performs. That’s a bit like showing someone the first and last shot of

I suspect the flop of Suicide Squad is to blame, especially since most people will hear about this movie and just assume it’s a half-baked spinoff.

Shazam is all right. It’s not on Wonder Woman’s level, but it’s a passable lightweight superhero flick that actually manages to elicit a few good laughs (possibly a DC first). The villain is corny and forgettable, but otherwise it’s surprisingly well put together for a DC film (again excluding Wonder Woman, which is on

The new front end does look good, although a bit generic, but I actually thought the old 200-inspired face was good. The styling was the only good thing about the sad excuse for a car that was the 200. It was different, and I liked the smooth, curvy lines.

I don’t mind most of it, but holy cow that steering wheel is awful.

I think it’s trying to communicate.

I was gonna suggest a cheap SN95 Mustang GT, but that’s not technically body-on-frame. Crown Vic it is then (unless maybe a truck?)

Back in the ‘20s, I was in two horse-related TV shows...

As an introvert, I approve this message.

I’ve just now noticed for the first time that 1, 2 and 3 aren’t normally at the top.

Somehow I’m glad that one is lost.

Tried it. 10/10, would goose again. Only thing that bugs me is that it quickly runs out of memes and starts bringing me the same ones over and over again. Of course, you can always add your own memes to the folder.

Hmm... I could have sworn Alison Brie just finished another show about a horse...

True. Given that it went down city streets, though, I doubt she had line of sight. I’d guess she used a better radio (which isn’t a tall order - out of all my 2.4gHz radios, the stock Traxxas one in my Slash is the only one I ever had range issues with).

Now playing

Ha... I understand that. I spend way too much money on this hobby, and I’m a cheapskate by R/C hobbyist standards.

Ah, my bad. I was 90% sure but didn’t actually look it up.

Hmm, could be. Can’t really tell from the video. I’d be very surprised if Traxxas wasn’t available in China, but then again, some of the knockoffs do look very close. (Traxxas cars are made in China, too, so some of the “knockoffs” might be the exact same vehicle without the brand name.)

Very likely. Stock Traxxas radios are kinda crappy in my experience.
