Nissan iDx.  I was so dissapointed to hear it wasn't actually going to happen.

I had the full GP rear seat delete and strut bar in my R56 Mini.  The bar was in the perfect position to hold onto like being in a roller coaster.  Several of my friends road places that way.

My Austin Healey Sprite runs 13s with awesome high 80 profile tires.  

If they offer it with a manual like the concept electric Mustang they recently had, then I don't care what it looks like, sign me up!  This thing could be a lot sleeker.

My parents traded in their relatively small 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They strongly considered a Wrangler but decided on towing capacity being more important. I have towed a 3000 lb car with it twice and it does so without you even knowing the car is back there. However my parents…

I got to drive the Opel version of the Chevy Trax and it was brilliant.  It have a very good 1.6L turbo diesel and a 6 speed manual, by in far the most fun rental car I've ever driven.  Too it was in France as I'd have absolutely considered that vehicle as a daily.  I drive the Trax when I go back to the US and it was…

I use them all the time in my 99 BMW M3 and 99 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight.  Yes, both of my daily drivers are from 99, as well as my project car.  I also have a 62 Sprite, which incidentally, I've also used a cassette adapter in the aftermarket Pioneer deck.

I am excited to see a big company toy with the concept of a manual in an electric car.  It differentiates it among the sea of soulless but brutally quick electric machines.  The first thing I thought when the Mini SE was revealed was, it would be brilliant with a manual.  Rather low power electric, where you could get…

Chrysler has enough crazy in them to do something great here.  Too bad at this point all the old AMC influence is retired as they were the real nuts behind awesome 90s Chrysler.  Combined with the wonderful quirky folks over at Citroën and the excellent stylists over at Peugeot, I can't see how this could go wrong. …

I have seen a supra a few times prowling around Erie, PA.  No new Z4s.  The only Bmw Z cars you see here are Z3s and occasionally a first gen Z4.

Wow, my JCW tuned 2013 Mini S regularly got 35mpg.  That's pretty poor, clearly the hybrid tech didn't really help efficiency, more likely performance. 

The local Mistubishi dealer where I live is supposedly the highest volume selling dealer in the US. They certainly turn over a lot of Mirages, they are everywhere. I think it’s the cheapness of people where I live, when Suzuki was still here it was the number one selling Suzuki dealer many years in a row. the SX4 was…

I actually agree that this will probably age well, this shot actually looks much better than the x7 monstrosity. However, I still have issue with bangle designs. I gag a little everytime I see an e60 front end and any part if an e65.

Hmm, I miss simple clean BMW designs.

You all are making me much prefer the brakes on my Sprite.   Non power assisted hydraulic brakes.  Great feel, strong enough to lock up the wheels but we'll ballanced.  Nothing sketchy at all.  Aside from high pedal effort, they are the best brakes I've driven from a modulation standpoint. 

Must be like the Ford I saw at the Detroit Auto show this past year that very clearly had carbon fiber laid over the aluminum wheels. The carbon looked good and was actually bonded on.  However upon further inspection hid a very chunky aluminum wheel. I believe it was on a Mustang. 

Whats new about gold seat belts? My Jeep Comanche, Oldsmobile 88 and BMW e38 all have gold/beige seat belts.

It doesn’t surprise me that people buy and for the snow, they drive quite nicely, especially on snow tires.  I genuinely live in the lake Erie snowbelt, and have no issues daily driving my rwd e36 M3.  When things get very bad, I may consider breaking out the FWD Oldsmobile 88, it handles the snow over 8 inches better.

DI'd anybody also notice the truck got a lot pudgier? It has gained love handles.  Ruining an otherwise sharp design. I lie the new tailgate though, big tail gate badge is a a nice addition. 

Ive off roaded a Wrangler which was quite built and had an automatic. I’ve also run a completely stock manual Suzuki Samurai. I was surprised how little the manual intruded in the experience. The fun it added was way greater than the annoyance crawling through tough terrain. I’m very stoked about visiting Moab again…
