That’s a phone booth. 

There’s no reason to roll back on a hill in a manual. Don’t need the parking brake, but that is a good way to learn when you’re 15.

It isn’t bad at all. Creeping through Chicago traffic in a manual is terrible, but no worse than doing the same in auto.

My feet get tired in traffic with automatics though, but my commute is like ten minutes these days. Maybe at age 43 the longer commutes with manual would leave a different impression.

Although I have our CX-5 worked out to easily crawl through traffic. Turn on auto hold, enable radar cruise, set it for anything, then…

It’s just an R44 and we don’t even know who owns it. I’ve got a plane and I promise I have no money and no taste.

Our 2018 CX-5 has a HUD and I use that solely when driving it. It works great.
Edit: Jesus this entire thing is just a list of features that exist on many cars today. Are we being punked? I do like the exhaust fan on the 929 though.

I have to be at least pretend bias,  since they make them here in my medium-sized Indiana town... We have Outbacks here as fleet vehicles, and we drive them often. With that said... goddamn you are spot on. The Outback I drive can’t get out of its own way, and that goddamn transmission makes me wanna fucking cry!! Why…

Ford Ranger. Fight me all you want, but that thing is fucking enormous. Maverick is FWD and unibody and is thus not even a serious contender... it’s also far too big as well. With that said, I do like both of these trucks, but I want a small truck.

Do people buy plywood on the regular? I’ve been a homeowner since 2007 and never once needed to get plywood. Can’t even recall a time when dad needed to pick up plywood, since it can just be dropped off by a more appropriate truck.

We get kids (students) with super cars around here. No hate from me because it’s wonderful to see these considering I live in the middle of nowhere, but seeing a 388 parked outside of an apartment is amazing. Just seems like a good way to kill your kid, and you’re a good 10,000 miles away to top that off.

In their…

My dad was a state trooper and fan of CB. His advice was to “keep the lipstick off the dipstick.”

Man. I knew this looked familiar.This pic is from the Indy 500 Parade on 5/25/19. Nancy George scored a ride in it. Hope it goes to a good home!

I’ve got nothing that isn’t a joke and that wouldn’t be misconstrued to make me look like a giant fuckin’ racist. :)  I’ll go with “Wienermobile” instead. 

I’m sure it’s a neat car, but the lack of a manual would sure fuck up the experience for me.

Right. What I loved about Infiniti is that it *isn’t* a serious luxury brand, and the resale is terrible. I only buy used vehicles. That 2005 G35x I had was a GREAT car at a nice price. Ditto for the QX4... just a Pathfinder with Atessa AWD (the reason I purchased it). Nissans have never failed me, but they’re…

I drive an ‘07 Miata (boat) that has the “Advanced Keyless Entry™” and it doesn’t have a button, but a plastic cap over the key slot. Turn it and go. Same concept. We’ve also got a CX-5 with normal push-button. No screwing around with keys, but for me the best part of any vehicle with push button start or similar is…

The auto shutoff bullshit. Every single time you stop, your engine shuts off. It’s grating. Yeah you can press a button to disable it, but if I ever wind up with a car with that, I’m cutting it open and bypassing that shit. But to offset that, I love radar cruise control. Christ it takes out so much pain from long…

I presume it’s when the truck hits a power line (I see two poles) but could just be light hitting the windshield. Doesn’t look like it to me though.

You seem a little bit disconnected, but you do you, good sir.  

As a Miata driver in Indiana, this is relatable.
