Yeah, When I lived in Oxnard for a short time I never really “got” Malibu. If you have never been there it is surprisingly small, and consist mostly of what I can only describe as ultra high end strip malls. I could see it as a meca for surfers, but I just don’t get how it became THE place to live if you are super…

Yeah, could you imagen the smell too? 

After converting my Element into a camper, it gave me a good bit of perspective on these ultra small campers. My Element served it purpose of being small ski cabin, so I could stay at the camp ground for $10 a night, instead of the motel 6 for $150, but it was just very very small.

When you have something this small it…

I’m just a regular white guy too, but I’m pretty sure this commercial happened because Hyundai hired Culture Brands, a black woman-owned company, to make a commercial for them.

But don’t worry you won’t find out critical parts of a story on Jalopnik.

Right, I have no big love or hope for Blue Origin, but I more meant the entire tone and stance of the writers on Jalopnik and also more and more in the general public.

Even these suborbital hops get us something in the way of a novel escape system. And the Hunstville engine plant that I live near still seems to be…

Christ, when did we all get so jaded and misanthropic. We are in the second golden age of space travel and all you can do is shit on it. Yeah space travel is expensive, and yeah we should really do something about the massive wealth disparity we are seeing, but at least with this we are getting something for it. It’s…

I mean, there is a large chasm between asking for a turbo rally car and asking for a bit more power and torque that a turbo would bring. I really think Subaru should bring their 1.8t over for this thing, but as that is not happing, the 2.4T found in the outback would be a nice add in this trim. 

While I would call that soft-roading, is there a hard and fast definition of off-roading? Seems like the definition of tail and road is a bit muddy (heh).

That CVT cooler should for sure come standard if they are going to keep that thing. 

Who ever handed him the keys should be also held responsible as well. This is truly out of the scope of what a teen could handle but also afford, without some kind of enabler. 

With the way cars and urban populations are going it something we are going to have to do, but I don’t think it necessarily has to be fully around age.

You should need to have a clean driving record for a number of years before we know you can handle something like the Uris, or honestly much over 300hp. Start getting…

Honestly I think giving who ever gave him the vehicle jail time would fix most of these issues. It’s one thing to give your kid a car and they mess up. but it is quite another to give a 99th percentile sports suv to a teenager and tell them to go have fun.

Making the parents have to worry about going to jail might make…

A level two charger is normally pretty practical and will charge a car overnight. It would be harder if you lived in an apt though. 

I honestly didn’t know the Lightning or E-transit were out yet. The way Ford and the Press have talked about them is that they are coming, but not here.

Maybe the issue is they need some better marketing that these are ready to go right now. 

While I really like the Miata and think it is the best small sports car, I don’t think it should take the title as best small car. It just can’t easily serve as your only car, in the way a FiST can for example.

For the best small car, I feel you have to pack a lot of goodness into a small space. Sportiness is a big…

Even then that isn’t a need it is a want, and a want that you are going to pay extra for. If you want a bigger car that is fine, but don’t call me a liar when I tell you that a Honda fit will meet most people base needs, ok?

But Idk man, it was pretty easy to shop online and have a dude in a box truck come drop my…

So you are saying that it fits both your kids in car seats and your weekly grocery run at the same time, but I’m being dishonest about it fitting your needs?

Sorry that your lifestyle involves having to take both infants to buy armoires or “something big”, once a week. But as someone who lived in the literal death vall…

I guess it depends on what you mean small. Then yeah, small urban cars and meant to be driven in urban environment.

If we are calling a Honda Fit a small car then no, it will cover all your needs unless you have twins.

Ok, I like this idea quite a lot on the surface. The issue now are the work vans, a la the Sprinter Transit and even the NV1500 make for better conversions. You start with an empty box and make it a full box, you don’t have to re-engineer a whole new structure.

Or not being in constant pain and saddled with medical debt.
