On the Z - I find it *really* hard to trust nissan at their “everything else we make is awful but THIS will be different!” attitude. They’ve just... lost their way. They really needed to launch something that was competing more with the 86, like the datsun concept car from a few years back. Light, simple, fun. Not a…

It’s... not that great. Been there a few times, had more fun feeding the fish on the boarding ramp than I did onboard the ship. I have attended a concert in a lower deck hall before, I think we were below the waterline - that was neat, but not worth the cost of what that damn thing costs to keep afloat. Do a…

Might buy if it’s good. If its another boring small turbo engined blahblah whats the point? Everything feels so... similar now with small turbo 4's.

doing the lord’s work.

were any of the mennonite cars performance modded?

I wish I knew what else was on the list, but a slideshow is a nope.

It’s been a nearly 10 year worker’s comp thing with my arms. First I had to give up motorcycles (hands kept slipping off the grips), but I thought “At least I can still drive a stick!”. Now I’m just grumpy about it haha. If I have to get an auto, I might as well go get a prius or something. Blech.

I was recently offered almost what I paid for my 2017 Fiesta ST daily. It’s low mileage (26k) with meticulous maintenance records... After an injury a while back I have a really hard time driving a manual now, so I am tempted to go for it but the price of replacement vehicles is bonkers. If I can find a clean, well…

If you really don’t like stuff on Jalopnik, just skip the author’s articles from now on. When they pull metrics and see that the author’s not getting click-throughs, the situation will become self-correcting. Just like writers that only make slideshows. Skip the slideshows, consistently - if everyone does it, they’ll…

Ha in highschool a friend’s festiva was small enough to fit through the pedestrian gate at the park and we definitely didn’t take advantage of that and drive around on all the walkways ;)

I guess if you had an apartment with only one parking spot you could fit 2 of them nuts to butts in the parking spot.

I had an SRT4 and loved it. Then a neighbors kid got their license, and the dad bought the kid one. Not a smart move, as evidenced by how short a time that car lived.

We need a cool new small car engine. Something neat like that tiny v6 from the mazda mx3. Not that powerful, not super efficient, but man it sounds neat and was kinda fun to drive.

If cities can implement forfeiture clauses for street racers, they can do it for coal rollers too. Remove your DPF and alter your ECU programming to deliberately barf out soot? Buy your car back at auction or watch it get crushed. 

Thats a huge concurrent load. Power companies are already starting to “offer” smart thermostats so they can change your air conditioning and heating temperatures to alleviate load on the grid. One can only imagine they’d want the ability to flip car chargers to trickle or even “off” to alleviate strain on the grids…

A lot of area grids have reliability issues when people run their air conditioning or heat and its nearly impossible to get power companies to invest in their infrastructure. What I worry about is a massive, quick shift to electrics without the grid to support it. Utility companies are probably going to continue to…

I mean... like it or not, I’d drive it if someone tossed me the keys - it looks like a hoot to drive.

I have questions.

Gonna guess bigger, heavier, and number if the trend is going to continue. I don’t want it to be that way but... :shrug:
