It doesn’t need more HP, it needs more torque. Or it needs to be cheaper. $25k is a lot for a tiny car with 200 hp and a garbage interior. $21k for a Fiesta ST that’s almost as fast and just as quick with a ton more usable space and way better fuel economy and interior.

I’ve two of those and regretted selling them both times. Still look for low-mileage non-riced versions on a regular basis. Just a great all-around car, although I do wish it had a telescoping steering wheel.

Preach!

Beauty is in the eye of the twin turbo V6. I DO have a history of preferring questionable car design though.

Friends and family attended a Christian church in my hometown and I played a lot of pick-up basketball there. The floor was carpeted and having played there so much, I had never really thought it that odd. I seem to remember anecdotally thinking that people turned their ankles more on the carpet. I honestly can’t…

The Flex is also in a larger class, which means according to NHTSA and IIHS, it would likely do better or the same as a small SUV (CX-5) when offset crashing with the same vehicle. In other words, an “acceptable” on a midsize SUV is likely to be the same as a “good” on a small SUV when they’re crashing with the same…

Old white men have been persecuted for far too long. Happy for him that he can now be a shameless misogynist publicly.

It matters, but there’s not enough of a difference between current options to “matter”. The Flex has all of the modern safety features like forward collision avoidance, blind spot monitoring, etc. I highly doubt the marginal handling improvement of the CX5 is going to make a significant difference in hypothetical…

Interesting. The seats are super comfortable, great visibility for a modern vehicle, most legroom you can get, tons of cargo room and fast as hell. Nothing else came close for us.

Let’s be honest, the steering/handling in a CUV doesn’t matter unless you regularly do some canyon-carving on the way to soccer practice. You’re going straight, not tracking it. You want straight line speed for aggressive onramp merging and dusting people at stoplights while you race home from work thinking your…

The wagon options are weak as hell right now, so you might as well get a fast CUV. That’s why we went with the Ford Flex Ecoboost. CPO with warranty so no maintenance concerns since our 100 Land Cruiser has been nothing but.

I won’t read it because I’ve given up on reading about rich people. They’re not interesting. They’re not smart. They’re just rich. And generally, the more I learn about these people, the less I like them. I don’t want to have my sports watching ruined because I know the announcer is a tremendous douchebag.

We’re lucky enough to have a good friend that’s a vet with her own home visit practice. We’ve put our last two pets down at home and couldn’t imagine ever doing it at the vet’s office again.

I’m hyper-sensitive to caffeine. Drinking a cup of coffee is likely to send me spiraling into a panic attack. This story almost did it to me. That Stimpack stuff sounds like a very effective means of torturing me.

I prefer my automotive aesthetics on the unusual, unique, or downright crazy side. But I really don’t want a 300 HP FWD car. If this were AWD or RWD, I’d be a lot more excited.

F1 and NASCAR have never done it for me, but this shit right here I could watch all day.

I understand all of that. All I’m saying is that it is a competitive advantage to start the majority of tournaments with essentially a couple home games. No other teams get that. Perhaps the NCAA should stop hosting a first-round site in NC every single year? Unless of course, Cronin was right.

Is there a team other than Duke that gets to play in its home state to start the tournament 60% of the time? Regardless of how good Duke perennially is, that still seems like an unnecessary competitive advantage.

It’s amazing that someone so myopic and self-centered as you has found success. I don’t care if your company has a union or not. We’re talking about unions in general. Congratulations on managing to make every comment about you.
