I’m not a rally driver. While I appreciate acquiring driving skills that are not applicable to how I use my car, for example I learned how to double clutch to get relatively quick shifts out of old sports cars with worn out gearboxes (I still practice the skill from time to time in my healthy, close ratio equipped…

I believe that you may be minimizing a third or maybe fourth option for why the military omitted the number....


C.) Bureaucratic incompetence
D.) Deployed and overtasked, so the last thing I need is to have to update another fucking spreadsheet, I’m tired and if I don’t get some rest I’m going to stab someone.

I wish my family gatherings were as easy. Any conversation I have with my extended family over politics potentially ends with me not having a family.

Not enough torque? Downshift.

....and with that, I’m suddenly a Camaro guy.

Insert tab A into slot B.

I don’t want F1. I want sports car racing.

I like the F50 more than the F40 and I always have.

I take an “if you’re happy I’m happy for you” approach. The problem is that questions such as these or questions about if or when a couple wants to have children go a certain way so often that it’s hard for me to ask them from a position that simply wants to express interest in the person I’m talking to from a place…

Well now I feel like a fool for not choosing Quaker State oil for my cars.

I’d choose it if I enjoyed the handling that much more than the others. But I’m also not a snob about which wheels get the torque.

A car that was released in ‘78/’79..... kept the company alive in the ‘60s? You’re going to open with an insult and then post that nonsense? You realize that the RX-7 wasn’t the first mass production Mazda rotary powered car right?

The RX-7 didn’t keep the company alive in the ‘60s.

When I switched to sport tires it made a fair difference. I’ll be installing some poly bushings in the rear position lower control arm mounts, so I expect that to help with feedback as well. Not that you should have to modify a car for this reason, but I’m still happy with the car overall.

I have a 2010 model. I can’t speak for the new ones. Previous cars were turbo Subarus, which didn’t seem much better or worse. All that said I won’t try to tell you that the GTI’s steering feel is amazing, just that I find that it’s acceptable and tells me what I need to know; I always have a good enough feel for…

It’s a 911. We already know that cheap is off the table.

I second this. The GTI’s steering has some weight and while it doesn’t pass along bumps with pebble-like sensitivity, I don’t feel blind.

Stupid? Yes. Awesome? Also yes.

I feel like they could have accomplished close to this without being coal rolling dickbags.

It needs to happen.
