The Si would probably be a much better fit for you, then. It’s over $10k cheaper, but you still get rev-matching, an LSD, supportive seats, a great manual, and ~200hp. Plus you won’t have to deal with excessive tire wear and all the negative attention that a Type R would bring. 

FWIW, Checo let Max through earlier on to attack Alonso. He could have held him back but was promised the position back if Max couldn’t make it stick (he couldn’t). Checo is a good teammate and significantly better than Max deserves.

It seemed like Max was maturing after winning the Championship but this seems like reverted back to his old Crashstappen ways this weekend.

Is anybody really surprised to see max is actually racing for team max and not team Red Bull? I’m certainly not. 

Okay taking bets now - what Italian brand was the offending vehicle?

Somehow it looks 5 years old already, and I’m definitely getting a whiff of Ford Everest in the rear.

I enjoyed my R35, but I wasn’t sad to see it go either.

Sure, if this was a 50 or even 80 thousand dollar build, but the prices these Icons go for warrants the extra time and effort put in to make the cars perfect in every aspect. Saying “but it would have been hard!” is a shit excuse. 

Such a sad story how they turned an everyman’s supercar-beating legend into just another high-priced car of the same category. The R32s-R34s are the better models.

Yeah, that was a great car.  I drove it a couple times.  He switched to an Altima when they moved that to almost the size of the Maxima.  I think because Mom had to drive more and that Maxima scared everyone when she drove it.

Which is still inaccessible if you do not have the money.

What a really great story, thanks for sharing. Also, doing the math, that’s a mid-1990s Maxima, which is still such a great car.

dammit mazda, why cant you just release a coupe miata to the masses for a few years? 

Almost $30,000 but “just about everyone can own.” You can’t be that out of touch with the financial state of a lot of people. 

My dad wasn’t a fan of Japanese cars for a LONG time. He was a combat vet from the South Pacific and he had reasons for not liking Japanese products that he never told his kids.

Mine never leaked.

I polity disagree here. Hard Nope. I had a 280Z, my father had the 240Z.

Sugar?

Great movie.
