Screens were initially a “luxury” feature that cost more, but now that every car uses them I assume it’s actually cheaper to make cars with screens than buttons? Which means pretty soon Porsche will have .a “screen delete” option for $11,650.00.

Buttons are great- they make me feel like I’m on the starship enterprise (the first one-I’m sure the new one just has touchscreens). 

Yes to kids and old MGs. Having kids is not “lost” personal time, and “hemorrhaging money” is pretty much what adults do. I am guessing on my death bed I will wish I had hemorrhaged more money, in fact, not less. My kids are adults now and they are my favorite travel companions.

Not a NASCAR fan, but this was really a great read-thanks!

If we can’t have cars in color anymore at least I want to have pink (or blue or yellow..) tires. As long as they match the paint on the brake calipers.

Worst ever? It is better than the ‘83 VW GTI I once had and not as good as a Miata. Sort of subjective-Much more fun than the automatic version of the same car.

227 HP and not from VAG. Yes, I’m biased as I have one of these (as a result of a similar Craigslist multi-state obsession), but even after it dies I will keep it just so I can look at it from this angle..

Weird, Fun, Warranty. Which one of these words doesn’t belong?

“The new Sonata will also sit 30 mm lower than its replacement”

Nice write up and the photos are spectacular-thanks!

So basically “car design is worse today for reasons”

Yep- we all though they were so cute...while they were small. Then, like that “cute” German Shepard mix pup we couldn’t resist at the humane society, they started growing until now everything is about “the dog”. 

Serious question- I’m more of an F1 fan than a NASCAR watcher. Do Hardcore NASCAR folks like the “segments” thing?

It’s not as rusty as I thought it would be.

Architect you say? American(ish)? This is a no-brainer:

Ah, New York people are just adorable. 2" of snow and they close the LIE and ask for federal funds. In Minnesota (or Illinois, or Michigan or hell, half the damn country) there is a real risk to folks trying to get around. I spent 5 months in a cast thanks to an icy sidewalk (and my own clumsiness). Salt works, ask…

“This guy can’t go to prison fast enough.” Something black and white twitter (and even folks who don’t tweet) can agree on. Trump unites us all.

Prettier.That’s it. Not faster, not more nimble, just prettier. 

As long as AOC continues to annoy Fox viewers AND makes rail travel a thing again, she can have my cars

Minnesota has opted not to repair any roads ever again in an effort to appeal to pickup owners (who are the majority here). We will soon be the envy of the off/non-road world.
