I can speak to neither all semis nor all AZ-1s, but mine has been under one singular semi once. The Mazdaspeed might have a slightly lower stock ride height maybe, but otherwise I don’t have any reason to think that mine is any lower than normal. And I most certainly had to take the antenna off first

...are you trying to claim that the sporty version of a five door midsize hatchback is comparable in performance and size to a smart?

Hey, my Sambar has a crumple zone! It’s called my knees. It would have been okay with the car’s original top speed of ~45 but when they bumped the top speed past 90 with the supercharger option, well.....being tall makes me safe, right?

That’s awfully bold of them to display a 370Z on the same pedestal as a 240Z. I can’t wait for Toyota’s heritage display next! All generations of MR2 and Celica GTFour next to new Corollas and CH-Rs!

Haven't they been doing this for three years already in Africa via a startup company called Zipline? From what I remember about their hardware it was something like a 150km radius from their command center, and they were working on adding another location to be able to cover a few other countries.

It had something like 500 miles at the time but I’d have no trouble believing that it was broken in some way. Chronically underpowered or chronically unreliable: either way it doesn't bode well for the worth of the car. This would have been 2006 or 07. I can't remember exactly when.

I have two things to say about the PT Cruiser and why I think they’re shit. My family rented one for a drive to Florida. Typically we’d end up in a Grand Prix or other large sedan because they could handle the four of us and all of our luggage, but this time the rental company gave us a PT Cruiser, and due to the…

Genoa to Genoa. I can get it a little cheaper if I do Verona to Genoa, but the convertible prices are still insane when a Fiat Tipo is under $20/day.

Finding a rental anything that’s a manual convertible would be the desired solution since my husband would kill me if I imported ANOTHER kei car from Japan. But I can’t stomach $220/day for a 500C and that's all that I've found.

Sorry it’s a bit late but this just became relevant today. I was reading a R&T comparo between this and the old “base” M2 which claimed that the S55 was definitely faster but the old N55 was actually a more exciting and peaky engine, and the smoothness of the M-upgraded engine made the power delivery in the…

As someone who is looking to drive the French Riviera in late May, I actually looked into the costs to import a JDM Cappuccino to Italy for the week (then re-export to America) because I can’t find a damn rental convertible in Italy! For many reasons I would love a story about shipping your own cars abroad for foreign…

I mean, that's my point. And that's why I ended up importing. If the prices of two decade old compact trucks are anything to go by, there's demand there.

That’s actually a good thought. Make an open bed version of the existing Transit Connect. That seems like the perfect solution here.

I don’t know what you’d have to be on to call a Colorado a compact truck or to think that it comes in standard cab, but it sounds fun.

Neutral: I had money for an actual compact truck with an actual bed. I was ready to go for two years before seeing no movement in the market at all and giving up.

Yeah! It’s where you flip your pop-up headli-

Where did this come from? If you'll excuse me, I need some alone time.

No, I get it. It’s going to feel lighter than it is. I haven’t driven an all-electric car yet so I can only take your word for it but it makes sense.

I’m not saying that you’re wrong at all because batteries are indeed heavy, but they do also displace the fuel tank and gasoline at a little over 6lb/gallon. Having a smaller car to work with will require less batteries to hit a given range, but not enough to say that you’d come out even. To me, that’s okay. I’d take…

You don’t have to look at it if you’re in the driver’s seat.
