It’s waay out there and polarizing, buy maybe that’s the point. American pickup trucks are all about ICE tradition and cultural identity, whereas this electric monster (Tesla in general) upends that paradigm. Good thing this Cybertruck is tough, because you know it’s gonna be vandalized even more than normal Tesla

I agree. Older cars tend to have more character and yeah, I’d get walked by most modern family sedans in a straight line! Preludes weren’t really that fast even back then, but they were and still are fun in the corners.

Actually the Prelude Type SH only comes in manual, but yeah, you should’ve bought it if it was in good shape.

Well luckily my Dad was an environmental science and geology professor who spent decades digging and analyzing ice and sediment core samples to extrapolate and corroborate what other scientists in academia have determined about climate patterns past and present, but I’m betting your “research” has proven it’s all some

And a weed is just a plant that no body wants, but let’s ignore how increased CO2 in the upper atmosphere is a detrimental greenhouse gas affecting our weather (and eventually everything else) and just call it a liberal agenda.

I make six figures, with ample savings, no kids or debt (besides a low mortgage payments) and I still choose to drive the 97 Prelude SH that I’ve had forever. It’s fun and the thing refuses to die. 

Yup - for 5 yrs I drove a 2nd gen sport 5mt and wished it had the 1.5T that my CRV has. And no I don’t have oil dilution...

I had the silver 2012 Sport 5MT and thought it was the best and best looking subcompact period.

I had a 2nd Gen Sport 5MT and felt it was the best looking gen. Sleeker than the 1st gen but still lean cohesive lines/proportions. A nimble city car that could swallow so many Ikea boxes, but sadly we felt unsafe amongst all the bigger vehicles and so we got a new CRV - like everyone else in suburbia. 

Not if it was stick-shift. Honda slush boxes weren’t that great back then.

Yup. Sadly fake news is just confirmation bias and sadly too many people vote based on beliefs and emotions instead of objective facts and looking at the big picture.

nah - civilian use would be terminated and only a military frequency would remain

Agreed. Americans have short memories and tend to be reactive instead of proactive. Tbh most SUVs today are crossovers based on car platforms, which have pretty good fuel economy, while offering better functionality, handling, awd, and a high seating position.

Gps would be disabled by the US military and Glonass prob isn’t as far reaching? I remember that during the cold war Russia tended to build more and bigger nukes to compensate for the high failure rate and poor target precision. I bet this torpedo and their questionable hypersonic missiles are primarily nuke armed to

Wait, so you’re fine with a bunch of random strangers driving around your hood over fully autonomous vehicles, which have a better driving record than the average human? “Availability heuristic bias”

A similar mentality as the “truck bros” blocking Teslas? Cultural changes are hard on some. I heard there was a lot of backlash against the first automobiles 100 yrs ago as well...

With modern sensors n stuff, I propose cars have external airbags in place of bumpers! Attractive, functional, and safer for pedestrians.

Yeah I’m excited about my t-mo V20 finally getting O, but I'm doubtful about Pie...

No, ideologically it shouldn’t be about money but the reality is it is - especially after Citizen’s United. The Dems can keep being righteous and out of power or they can accept that they have to play dirty too and unfortunately be just as hypocritical.

You’re listing compact SUVs, but the HRV (and Juke) is a subcompact. Last year I was gonna replace my beloved little Fit Sport 5MT with something a bit bigger, safer, and more capable and tested the HRV but couldn’t get AWD AND stick. You can in the Subaru Crosstrek, but the mpgs sucked and you can’t get active safety
