People I think we’re headed into another Golden Era for small econoboxes if this finds a way to North America

You know cars run out of gas, right? Given the circumstances, purposefully causing the car WITH CHILDREN IN IT to spin and wreck is the worst decision you can possibly make. You’re literally starring at the worst case scenario and you’re still here boot licking like this wasn’t a monumental fuck up. The best

Wow that’s just...huh. 

The only two options I see here is a Chevy Tahoe or a Dodge Charger Scat Pack. 

After trailing behind Ford for a decade they still drag their feet on the one vehicle they should be throwing all their money at. Again, GM is always at least 5 years behind the pack no matter what it is and as soon as they manage to fix it, it dies. Its astounding honestly. 

I’ve had my 06 Civic LX for 5 years. Its a R18A SOHC with a 5 speed auto and a grey interior under a Grandma Burgundy exterior. A little easter egg it had is that when you manually shift into lower gears, the torque converter locks up and the throttle response is increased like a pseudo sport mode. You can shift gears

I’ll toss in base model (Non Si/TypeS/Type R) Hondas/Acuras Probably the best platforms to learn how to drive, how to wrench and how to be fast in besides the Miatas and BMWs of old. 90s and early 00s corollas also fit the bill with a decent set of tires and light suspension tuning. Low bar of entry, low hassle

Any answer other than a Toyota is wrong. Hilux or Land Cruiser; pick one and go explore any country in the bush of Asia or Continental Africa, even the Arctic. The F-Series and GMTs sold well and were capable of being beaten, sure, but most importantly; they are engineered to be used and thrown away for the latest

For me it has to be a tie between the Lexus ISF and the MK3 Focus RS. One was an under the radar skunkworks project that gained a cult following and the other was an STi alternative with concrete suspension killed off by greedy dealerships asking for 60% over sticker despite the demand no being nearly that high at

Fwd Corollas from the 90s and early 2000s dont get enough love from the JDM crowd despite having high revving engines and bulletproof reliability. Theres a reason why Lotus used the exact same motors that came in Corollas to power the Elise and Exige for so long. 

Pick your poison.

Yeeaaahhh...nah this thing is fuckin tough to look at. That rear end is giving me Pontiac Aztek vibes. 

Almost every 90 and 00s JDM Sports car. (This coming from a Honda/Toyota fan)

On paper that might sound right but in practice anyone with sense would be paying attention for cars turning into driveways or stopping to park regardless of signals. Its a residential street ffs. The guy was moving way to fast to react to anything in front of him regardless of distractions.

And then no one would buy it cause it was too big, too heavy, too expensive and won’t keep up with a Corvette. Also still no manual trans. I understand that the average person isn’t a CEO or engineer but cmon. The LC500 already exists and the only people who want a Supra either can’t afford one or bought a MKV anyway.

Unless you need the interior and cargo space, the GTi is easily the worst option there besides the WRX. 

Why tf would anyone actively desire an EV Z-Car over the one with a twin turbo V6 and a Manual? I understand why people like Teslas and other EVs but to bash a legacy sports car model for staying true to its nature is just asinine and frankly is pure bandwagon-ism. Also Z-Cars have been heavy GT cars since the late

Why would a Civic based sport coupe not have a manual?

My advice for a first step toward a stable life is to just buy a Civic and be happy. No walnut cleaning for your valves, no timing belts for R-Series and K-series cars made from 06 and up, no complex electronics to go wrong, no complex mechanical wizardry required for maintenance and repairs and there are aftermarket

This game isn’t fun anymore. I’ll just get a 350Z or a ZN86 and call it a day. My dream cars that were affordable when I was just about to graduate high school immediately became unaffordable by the time I was a sophomore in college. What makes it worse is that I had a lead on an AE85 Levin in my area for 2000 and I
