Did the same as I forgot this was even a thing. Why don’t we have more?? Most of these are gorgeous, and the high roof seems so much more practical than a boring trunk.

Also, non-Canadians probably don’t realize that everything up here is slightly more expensive, cars being a prime example. 2002 Boxsters sell for ~18k CAD in my area, with more mileage and less addons. This does seem like a NP if it’s in as good condition as he pretends.

What’s doubly confusing is this:

I’m in the same mindset. I vowed my next car would be electric... then I bought a used M3 because nothing beats shifting gears and listening to that sweet V8:

First thing I noticed too: no radio, nav or similar distraction. This car is meant to be driven hard, with all your attention. I love it.

Thanks guys! Tonight I will fall asleep thinking about the not not pulley not being the cock block’s distant cousin.

That crash is in my newsfeed up here in Canada so clearly Jalopnik is not the only news outlet thinking this is newsworthy. Ignore the angry snowflakes and keep doing your job.

Leave aside your bias towards this website’s bias for a second and think about it this way: it’s entirely possible the newer generation of rich will care more about the ludicrous acceleration of the cars they buy than the sound they make. We’re already seeing EV converts making fun of our “slow” ICE cars compared to…

Definitely at the top of the “why isn’t this in all cars” list.

Not a big fan of the BMW ones as I wouldn’t trust them to hold a sugary drink over my leather interior, but I admit it’s nice to not have those unsightly holes while you’re not using them.

“So the new Honda Civic is a Honda Accord?” was my first thought.

Aaaaaand you just killed my productivity for the rest of the day.

When I feel like having a good uncontrollable laugh, I check the listings for multi-million dollar houses in my area and the absolute absence of taste they exhibit. It’s like taste is inversely proportional to how much money you make in life.

All of the above are enough to make me angry, but this really triggers me. When I have the family behind I usually set my cruise control to the average traffic speed and let it roll to our destination. Somehow, there’s always an a-hat who will play this “I pass you you pass me” game until I get MAD and floor the gas…

The mobile observatory is actually a really good idea. My boss is into deep sky astrophotography and his setup can take hours to deploy out of his car. Having a static platform he could just drive around sounds nice, but I’m not sure his wife would appreciate the crusty old RV in the driveway 😂

Yes, and yes. A lot of cars now are technically faster, but they can’t match that feeling. I found one without the navigation unit for less distraction and I usually drive without music just to hear that glorious engine sound. It’s the perfect sweet spot between “raw” analog cars and modern comfort.

This, and marketing people have a way of hanging to specific details that they can sell.

I’ll be honest, seeing just the front on the highway I would think it’s either a Lamborghini or a Corvette (from the rear it’s obviously a Ferrari). I’m far from my teen years where we could identify cars in the dark just by their headlights.

Hey, leave our rod bearings alone! It’s a manageable liability that only adds a little stress to the fun 😅

“German performance sedan” is exactly what I had in mind and the RS6 Avant is arguably the most gorgeous of them all.
