It’s about time. F**k 2-stroke lawnmowers, and especially f**k gas powered leaf blowers, and leaf blowers in general. I’ve threatened my neighbor’s brainless yard maintenance company with bodily harm after they’ve used theirs to ‘clean up’ the dirt strip between the sidewalk and the street, covering every parked car…

ironically since most of the women in my life have the messiest, dirtiest cars I’ve ever seen.

Comparison

I believe sarcasm was involved.

Fiat and Mazda were able to make them look pretty different, all things considered. The Fiat looks a bit undertired while the Miata seems more muscular and wrapped around its wheels but also trying too hard to squint and seem angry. The Abarth 124 looked the best IMO.

Lincoln doesn’t know what it wants to be and changes direction every three years.

I was referring to the previous 3, but yes, the proportions, the curvy fender peaks, and especially the rear.

It wasn’t very successful, but it wasn’t not mediocre at all. It was actually a pretty good sports sedan if you go back and read the reviews of the time. It handled well, had RWD and an OHC V8 and could be had with a manual.

I don’t see much resemblance between those two, but Mazda has been quietly echoing Alfa Romeo’s design for a while now. Just look at the 3 and the Giulietta. If you’re gonna be influenced by another make, chasing Alfa is not a bad thing.

Big and Dumb pretty much applies to the entire truck.

Well you’re just not being a good capitalist then.

From an era when trucks had friendly honest faces, as opposed to the roid and energy drink fueled angry douche faces of today.

No one under 50 knows what a Cressida is.

That’s not Pablo Escobar’s Renault 4 because that isn’t a Renault 4. It’s a Simca 1000. Very different cars. The Simca is a boxy rear engine, RWD  sedan, the R4 is a front engine, FWD wagon.

Yeah, so many ways she could have escaped instead of just waiting and hoping someone rescued her.

Yes, I would take a Citroen XM over so many cars.

Ok then.

The Z4 is dull AF, as its tepid sales demonstrate, and BMW owners / drivers are insufferable. I’ll take the fake Supra any day thanks.

The interior of a $40,000 car? Hah! Mazda’s sub-$30k 3 has a better interior in design and quality than a Model S, never mind the 3.

The wheels look like the hubcaps on a ‘78 Ford Granada, which ironically was aping a Mercedes at the time...
