I dunno, I think it’s awesome to be able to read something on here that rekindles the joy of learning to drive stick.

We were, but nothing’s more Jalop than figuring shit out on the fly, so I’d say Elizabeth is fully and firmly One Of Us now.

In 2019, it’s going to be harder and harder to find young people who have driven stick. But if they are an enthusiast and good at writing, who cares? Bill Belichek has never played football in his life, and I think he’s doing alright.

I was hired primarily as a motorsport writer, so it didn’t come up during the hiring process! My editors were as surprised as you were, lol

I could barely drive stick when I climbed in, but by the end of the day I was autocrossing it.

I test drove one on Tuesday (hot tip: Hyundai is running a nationwide promo, $50 visa gift card if you come in for a test drive). S/O was interested in a Kona and I got a hot lap in the N with the performance pack. It’s a freaking hoot. I’ll likely be looking at one in 2020/2021 as a replacement to my Abarth.

I have a colleaugue who bought one of these as a daily driver.  He speaks really highly of it with about three months ownership.  He got rid of his Jeep for this.  His other car is an R8.  He has also owned a number of Z’s over the years.

Very nice. That design has aged well.

If it makes you feel any better, here’s my 277k-mile AE86 Corolla GT-S still running it’s never-overhauled 4AGE.

300? It’s the correct amount of HP!

I could be wrong, but I think the understanding is that they’ll at least get them under development. Just one car alone isn’t going to be a cheap undertaking, nevermind an entire line-up.

Ah, I’ve missed Peggy, wearing that golden tunic

Rock on, but I’m not trolling, I just think he’s a good player who is also funny. I guess he gets in peoples heads. But hatred? Sounds like an overreaction.

Sorry, is Embiid-hating now a thing? What’s next Boban-hating? Sheesh. 

She did dumb shit when she was 21 (or 20?!) and has perhaps...grown in the time since? And I know you acknowledge that but it’s a throwaway line in what sort of feels like a needless hitpiece? This isn’t Tucker Carlson being a racist misogynistic manbaby at 40 or whatever.

Counterpoint: No you don’t.

Yeah, I remember reading somewhere that Embiid’s true height is closer to 7-foot-3, and there is no way in hell he weighs less than 300 pounds right now. I think even at his best playing weight he’s probably around 270.

Yeah, I think it’s jehrry nehllificehtion.
