I don’t care if it’s for or by them.

Honestly I think it’s aged well. Especially when turned into a drinking game.

I kind of hate to be a spoil-sport here, but the linked article says that the course was designed by Navy Seals, not for them. It appears this is a civilian racing event a la Tough Mudder. Still very impressive, but not actually a part of Navy Seal training.

The US’ aversion to hatchbacks is so bad, that Toyota designed a Canadian-only model, the Echo Hatchback (from the euro and Japanese version), for two (2!) model years, in 2004-2005. For Canada! And it sold like hot-cakes!

I understand people that can’t stand the constant boomy noise in hatchback interiors.

This is the WORST offender, Suzuki Swift Dzire

Insurance Job.

Sneaking looks hilarious when you can clearly see the person.

For giggles, I just priced out a comparable Charger with a Scat Pack (not even an SRT version).

I can’t imagine they make much if any money on them. AFAIK they build it more or less to fulfill commitments related to the wind-down of Holden manufacturing.

Most people who buy the Miata do so as a lifestyle vehicle. I know there’s a lot of you that race them, but that number is far, far from the majority. People want a car to have fun with on the weekends, and a retractable hardtop allows them to extend that fun by several weeks each year. Most people don’t care that…

But in return, you get increased security, sound-deadening, and insulation!

It’s pretty much holycrap beautiful and one of the very few things that make me dislike being 6'4" tall. A+ would drool again.

Oh, I bet we can do good and still make SOME fun of each other.

Protesting Trump with the goal of stopping the event (or in the case in Arizona, of keeping attendees from even arriving) is silencing him. As far as what Trump espouses-I may not agree with him, but i’ll defend his right to say it in a peaceful assembly.

As opposed to the MacArthur Fellows who are punching people for exercising their right to protest...

Instinct: Fakebook. Guy looking for his 15 minutes of virality.

RWD was not one

I can smoke the fronts a little in my 2001 Lumina. The fronts have to be on the stop lines, and the paint has to be at least damp.
