You cant have only 4 cars on the track for 3 hours.  That would be unwatchable.

Everyone is too young to remember, but in 2003, Matt Kenseth (who at the time was the most boring person ever to climb in a race car) won the nascar championship. He won the 3rd race of the season at Las Vegas, an extremely boring track that nobody really cared about at the time, and then consistently finished a boring…

You could win every single NFL game and then in the superbowl have your QB blow out his ACL on the first play and lose the championship. How is that different?

That’s how playoffs work. In the NFL you can go 16-0 in the regular season but lose the first playoff game, and guess what, you’re out.

Does the turbo BOV make that cool psssh sound?

Because Pinero wasn’t on the bears last season. He wasn’t even in the NFL last season. He has no emotional scaring because of it. He probably would have looked at it and laughed and thought that’s why i have a job.

And the options on a Ferrari are plentiful, and the dealers really push you to spec $50k-$100k worth of crap, and if you don’t keep them happy you don’t get an allocation.

The Lotus Evora is the closest thing you can buy to an NSX

You bring up a great point about the name. That’s what I always said about the 04-06 Pontiac GTO. It was a great car, and possibly the best car Pontiac made in it’s last 20 years, but people were so hung up on the GTO name they didn’t give it a chance.

The blasphemy is in the slushbox.  CP all day.

I have 2 kids, 3 dogs and an ST. Although the wife has a murano for when we need more space. People buy the biggest car they would only 1% of the time. And no reason for you and your wife to both have a huge car, just use the big one when you need it.

For $70k in that situation I’d buy that and an impratical sports car. And that’s coming from someone with 2 kids who has an ST and a Lotus.

A manual doesnt have to be a dream. It’s fast and wont blend in with the neighbors Audis.

When I drive with top off but all windows up and the heat on when it’s cold, I call it “fishbowling”

The Abarth feels faster than the Focus ST (I own both)

Italian designed electronics.

Transmission is fine, the engine however needs a rebuild at 95k.

Halogen headlight bulb which I have to replace on average every 9 months is about $25. Every other bulb on the rack at autozone is $8 of $9. Spark plugs are $15 each. The stupid cartridge oil filter that nobody carries (so you cant do the $25 Mobil 1 and filter deal) is $9 for a cheap paper filter. The battery is $150…

People who have driven nothing but Civics for 25 years.

Pretty much everything this side of a GM product has an interior light years ahead of Tesla.
