I drove a friend’s sport because I was thinking about buying one and I just couldn’t do it. The novelty of launching hard wore off pretty quickly and the car was totally devoid of personality. I also couldn’t get over how disconnected I felt from the car, and how bad the exterior build quality was. Could fit a pencil…

I still wonder who at Honda thought “Man, HDMI ports look great, lets put one on the back of the new civic”.

Glad you picked up what I was puttin’ down

The all new Stockholm Syndrome would be a great name for a Prius in grand theft auto :)

If you’re in prison long enough it starts to feel like home. Same thing.

Fiat 500 Abarth, like my photo here. It’s not fast, but it is an absolute blast to zip around in. You can go 10/10ths and still not really be going that fast, but it feels like you are and sounds amazing. Plenty of grip, the awkwardly high seating position makes things feel more exciting... it’s just a good time.

As a fiesta st owner... blend door actuators lol.

Fiat 500 abarth! Has personality in spades, available with a reasonably ok manual, fun to drive, tall seating position that is easy to get in and out of.

I swear every time I see one of those tiburons its a coin toss as to whether it makes me want to barf or I like it.

I know many regard it as sick and wrong, but I kinda want to see what the new Z will look like with rear window louvers. I saw a rocket bunny bodied BRZ with the rear window louvers and it was the perfect mix of new and old.

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 ;)
