Another option would be to wait another couple years and there will be cheaper JDM imports on the market too.

No, Pace Car has a silver interior. That appears to be a 1982 Collectors Edition. My dad has the same car and I had a Pace Car back in high school.

But that’s the thing that confuses me, “around town” is not the place that we should be flooring it and driving quickly in general, because “around town” is filled with pedestrians and cars turning, parking, etc.

First video, he says “launch control ready” but it’s clear he doesn’t actually use it. Either that or the Polo GTI (which I’ve admittedly never driven) has a very very soft launch control.

The second video gets quoted time and time again on i3 groups, but it’s flawed to the core. The M3 driver either doesn’t know how…

Hahahaha! I was going to type virtually the same thing, you beat me to it.

No, you can beat unsuspecting ICE powered vehicles to 25mph. If they are actually wanting to “race” you, you will lose. The i3 is essentially the slowest car that BMW sells from 0-30mph. It’s the instant torque that makes it effortless and makes you think it’s quicker than it actually is. Line up next to a BMW 328i…

Once people see autonomous cars working well and safely, the adaptation will begin, albeit slowly. Average people want autonomous cars, but they are still afraid of them. Ease the fear and buyers will come by the millions.

km, not miles.

I’ve been known to follow people into a parking lot ...

How so? I thought the standard for parents has always been to see their children outlive them.

I love the NSX, I won’t argue that it’s not a great car. But if you are like me, with a wife and two kids, those rear seats aren’t useless at all, they make the car much more versatile and useful. My 5yo and 3yo both fit well back there in booster seats, my 3yo sits behind me, and my 5yo sits behind my 5'1" tall wife.…

But it’s not, not for many parents. I always hear from personal friends and people online some variation of “I had a <insert shitbox car here> when I grew up and I paid for it myself working at <insert job here>. If I buy my kid a car it’s going to be a $2000 <insert shitbox car here>!”

Now I completely understand if…

Well of course it’s always a calculated risk, very little that we do is 100% safe. But sending a 16 year old out in 2010 Accord V6 6-spd is an order of magnitude safer than sending them out in a 1990 CRX. But they can still have lots of fun in the Accord, but they have a much larger safety buffer for when they…

For me, there’s only one “best of all worlds” car out there, and that’s the Lotus Evora. For me, it ticks all the boxes. It’s got an exotic look without the exotic price, sounds amazing (with aftermarket exhaust), mid-engine, handles like a dream, but very comfortable for daily driving, it’s unique enough so you don’t…

Why is safety never a consideration in these discussions? These are our children that we are talking about here. Shouldn’t safety take precedence over the “cheapest?”

As usual, I disagree with many people here. I will not buy a cheap beater for my kids’ first cars. My oldest is still 11 years away from legally driving, so we’ll have to see what’s available then. My son is an enthusiast already, so I know I’ll have to make this decision soon. With teenagers having overconfidence…

There is no magical line, it’s very clear. I never left the vicinity of my car, my attention was never taken away from my children, I knew what they were doing the entire time. I was within visual contact with them the entire time, I never left them. If you leave a child in a car on a hot day with the windows down or…

But I did though. Like I said, I was just outside of the car talking to another host family. They were parked right next to me. I was leaning on the car the majority of the time and only stepped away occasionally as the conversation became "animated." I was never more than 10ft away from the car. Good job making…

What the hell are you talking about? I never left my car. She went shopping in a store. Read before you comment, douche.

This woman is a moron, doesn’t deserve to have a kid.
