He’s not “holier than thou”, he’s right.

Absolutely. I forget what news article it’s from, but one I read interviewed a former Canadian sniper and he mentioned luck played a part.

At least the Lambo is as fast as it looks. Not so much with the Civic.

No, the carbon fibre bits are not nice. The wheel they are covering up would look just fine without them.

Put that same amount of cargo (yes, wife and kids are cargo) into a Civic Si, and it will beg you to kill it instead of trying to move that much stuff.

No, those are long gone unfortunately.

Make a deal with the owner of a stock, bottom of the line Civic to trade him bumpers and body panels. He pays for your install fees, and gets a wild exterior. You get a normal-ish looking Civic that’s a blast to drive, just like past Type Rs.

Colicky babies don’t care about loud exhaust. They cry regardless.

But this being a Type R, there should be less sound deadening insulation, and more exhaust noise! And I’m not joking.

You’re wrong. Hardwired and Death magnetic rule. I even like Load and Reload (listen to them on their own merit, not as Metallica albums. You’ll like them better). Justice is my least favorite album.

A brown manual diesel rotary Miata wagon.

For everyone, including myself, that doesn’t like the styling of this new R, here’s my idea...

What about this...

Shouldn’t a super car be built to withstand this type of rollover? I would call this a fairly mild crash, as far as racing is concerned. So for this car to burst into flames tells me that Rimac may not have done all their homework. (of course, freak accidents do happen)

Objectively in every way, no doubt. Except for visibility. I imagine shoulder checking and visibility out of the rear window is much better in the EK9. ;)

But not better.

Wooden exteriors can be beautiful. Learn how to fix it yourself, and get good at painting.

A body shop can always fill in the bolt holes for you. Or trade the whole hatch for a normal one. I’m sure some racer wannabe would take you up on that in a second.

That’s like changing the Corvette name because most people don’t call it a Chevy. Don’t mess with a legend!
