Love the simplicity of El Cheapo, SC and GA

Yeah, that car predates the requirement for the clutch interlock (started in ‘90 / ‘91 I believe)

Nearly hit my dad as he came into the garage at the same moment I cranked our ‘85 Renault Encore sans clutch switch which my mom left in 1st gear - the look on his face was priceless!

Safety third ?

Lots of cars offered optional CD changers which connected to the head unit via a pair of RCA plugs - I’ve connected aftermarket Bluetooth connectors to those....

I pay attention to those systems and am teaching my young drivers to as well...but your game feels line you are hanging around in somebody’s blind sport for fun...pls don’t do that!

Feels like the second time in a day you are defending the BRZ/86 on here....it’s a great car for what it is (affordable sports car with barely useable back seat) but if you have another $20k in your budget you won’t buy it - when I was 26 my Integra GS-R was all that - but it’s what I could afford. Wouldn’t buy one…

Ok boomer!

No...different families ride different ubers, so each Uber will see a percentage of rides that are families.....and on a percentage of those rides, somebody pukes.  Just like it’s not the same kid who pukes in the family car every day....but if you have 5 kids....somebody is puking!

Great article - in all fairness to their Wi-Fi situation, this story takes place “a long time ago”, so like they didn’t have Wi-Fi.  They seemed to figure out wireless voice, but maybe just analog....

Wow - I didn’t even get a “I’ll put that in my poster”! “Alex Roy, better than most drivers” is actually kind of catchy if I do say so myself!

Doing so well they had to plug it here?

Alex you may be a good driver but using that statistic to prove your point illustrates your stupidity. I’m guessing you are “better than most drivers”. But keep on digging your heels in here!

Got a reference for the Canadian SUV story? (I googled already)

While I applaud the facts and completeness of your rant, I’m guessing there are 77 replies because your opinion is, how you say, unpopular with the fur baby crowd! Popcorn is done and now I will wade into the comments to see who argues that the carbon footprint of a child is worse than that of a pet so therefore pets…

Although I appreciate how fun it can be to rip down a backroad in a car like a Fit, you have clearly not driven many cars if it makes you “cackle like nothing else”. On the same backroad a Miata or E92 BMW would double your cackle.....it’s the reduced understeer that increases the cackle factor!

Hmmm, why does it matter if the MACS are Huawei? How would that make it better or worse?

Don’t know where you live but I’m in Ontario and it’s chock full of Mazda dealers...and yeah those will rust hard here!

Our 2007 Mazda 6 fit the bill for this perfectly, sadly the last year they made it was 2009 so they are all likely rusting hulks in the Northeast by now....5-speed manual, 200 hp V-6, roof box, trailer hitch bike rack, 3 kids in car seats....that baby did it all without complaint. But not without rust....oh the rust.…

You were unlucky then - I was there for 4 days in 2015 and at least once a day there was an unlimited speed section open....
