I guess consider yourself fortunate that you are in a position where you are able to have more than one car. And that you don’t have to commute to work. Some of us have to either compromise or pick one of the other.

I’ve owned and driven lots of trucks, some work trucks, some full loaded luxo-cruisers. Comfort and power were never the issue. But there’s a fun factor that is sorely lacking. Life is too short.

I have a completely original idea for these.

Neutral: I also was late the Miata party. When I went out looking for my early mid-life crisis toy, I scoffed at the Miata. Want something with more power. A V6 at least. So I bought something made by GM. A year later I decided it was a miserable car to drive every day and it was falling apart, anyway, so I wanted…

“The days of a car’s center stack looking like a computer tower are pretty much over.”

That... would not be the worst thing in the world.

You’re not wrong. Toyota is guilty of some atrocious big grill travesties. I think you picked a bad example to showcase, though. I think the Corolla is a great looking car. Big grill done right for a change. Maybe something like the Avalon is a better example...

I mean, honesty, I learned that word today, too. I’m just jealous he figured out a way to use it today and I didn’t.

^^^ 90% of new cars built today.

Adam saw somebody use the word “trypophobia” when commenting on his TVR article earlier today. I feel like he learned a new word and just had to figure out some way to use it today.

He must be referring to Michel Schumachiére.
