Right.  The price difference is simply not worth it.

That nose... I made fun of it and called it a Toyota nose. That was unfair, and I was mad that the MK8 went fugly.

The price/performance ratio of this vs the GTI just never made sense to me.

Nah, Mazda’s Soul Red Crystal is the best red. 

I always put stuff like this (that will be priced in 40k-50k range) a solid step above hot-hatches. I want hot-hatches to be like, entry miata price.

This is the kind of mentally exhausting shit that’s getting everyone fed up. We don’t need more bills, subscriptions, etc. There are enough taxes, recurring spotify and netflix bills, heating bills, phone bills, alarm bills, insurances to pay, etc etc etc etc etc. Fuck that. Just fuck it.

I had those Pirellis, good tires when new, but wore like shit.

Van out there proving to everyone you can live up to your idols

Neutral: Haven’t done my own oil change for years. It’s boring, messy and it just isn’t worth the $5 it saves to fart around with it.

I don’t get worked up about in. 98% in. 2% backed in when I’m serves me particularly

I mean, you could use your indicators to signal that you’re going to park.

So what you’re saying is that anyone who can’t telepathically read your mind is an ignorant dildo?  

Then maybe they should secure it in their fucking truck rather than leaving it sticking out over the sidewalk so it smacks people in the shits.  Considering most of the hitches I see (in San Antonio) don’t even have the paint worn off them it’s not like they’re actually getting used for anything other than a lifestyle.

It’s situational. Going to get groceries? Pull in forward. Parking in a lot with less traffic? Back in. With the proliferation of back up cameras, especially the ones that curve the limit lines when you turn the wheel, it should only take one try. If you can’t back into a spot in one try, go over to an empty parking…

Even the ones who do nose-in, they still take like 3 attempts to back out of the spot because they don’t have a concept of how long their truck/suv is. Heck, I find myself acting as a spotter just so that they can get out faster (and so that they don’t hit my car).
Just another reason to have a more difficult driving…

No.
Aside from the mess of all the rednecks and MAGA turds not being able to back their bro-dozers into a parking space accurately, and taking 3 tries to get it even close, and then banging their door into my car because they’re simple-minded morons who can’t be bothered to pay any attention to what the fuck they’re…

“Investment”? Not so sure.

I own an older C5, and what I’ve learned is the best way to enjoy a Corvette is basically to never associate with the typical Corvette owners. The model is great. It’s owners? Well... If you like sitting in folding lawn chairs, spending an entire afternoon detailing your car with diapers, hiding the car when there’s a…

Yes!

I am going to be honest. I have an irrational dislike of the Corvette. Mostly because of the normal image of the Corvette buyer (which is my own stupid biases). But I really like this model of Corvette. I look forward to buying one in the future, but maybe the E-Ray version.
