Yeah, this is a much better investment than developing and producing cars people actually buy that’ll give them positive income ,…

Trump selling “full withdrawal” from NAFTA got him the votes. The fact that he won’t will get him the same shit that he has been getting since he was elected.

If only we could find a car we knew his son would think is cool, that’s also fast and has a reliable toyota engine. How will we ever dream up such a car.

I’m so relieved we finally solved our drugs, terrorism and human trafficking problems so that law enforcement can focus on the things that really matter.

Because it’s fun to review! Also, for the reasons explained in the article, that there are new kids on the block, it’s good to look back at this ageing FoST to see if it still stacks up. And yes, we will review the others soon.

I currently have a FiST and i can see  a slightly older, early 30s version of myself that gets sick of the harsh ride and noise. But i’m not there yet after 2 years of ownership. My main gripe is there isn’t anywhere to really let the thing loose, too much traffic, too many straight roads.

Current owner here, if you hang out with a club you will see that the ones getting rid of the cars were really not interested in the car in the first place, it was either what they could afford, or bought it on a impulse.

I think that’s pretty much the entire raison d’etre for hot hatches, no?

Wife was looking for a Venza and found an excellent price on one, how she wanted it equipped at a Carmax in DC (They sell new Toyotas too). We went to the local dealer/salesman to give them a shot of matching the price, since we ate up their time test driving and poking around. After arguing for 15 minutes that it was…

I’m sure there’s a bunch of Chinese car companies that would love environmental and safety regulations to be relaxed, so they can invade the market with cheap and dirty deathtraps.

...when you are surrounded by 18 wheelers going either 50 or 80 depending on whether they’re going up or down the hill.

I love showing these videos to people who think old cars are so safe. The one from a few years back with a Malibu against a Chevy from the 50's is especially good.

That is weird since it is basically the same car.

I hate it, hate it, hate it! It is the worst. I am going do to SC for Memorial Day weekend and I am leaving Thursday night or early Friday morning to avoid the traffic getaway from DC. Coming back the middle of the week as it is much better than the weekend traffic. I would rather shove a sharp stick in my eye.

In the same vein - I-66 between Manassas, VA and DC. Hell on Earth.

I-81 from Harrisburg, PA to Kingston, TN. It’s just 600 miles of boring highway and most of it is the western edge of VA, so speed limit is lower than it needs to be and you have to be on constant alert for cop cars. I live in Maine and went to college in Tennessee, so I drove this section many times and it was always…

More importantly, if you’re set on rolling your suspension, just buy a lesser model and save yourself the sheckels.
