You should take the train to Charlotte sometime. Aside from the Charlotte station, it is a very nice experience. The tracks have been mostly upgraded, so the train actually moves, it is much cheaper than flying to Charlotte, and it really doesn’t take any longer than flying.  I like the train when I am not in a…

Ditto. The realities of car driving these days do not justify the expenditure of large sums of money on fun cars, just to sit in traffic.

Ah, I see what you mean.  It is clearly on the left side of the new car.

No, I think you are right.  It seemed pretty obvious to me.

I have great interest in self-driving cars...for everyone else.

The thing they could do to make it cool is sell a regular wagon version of it with a more car-like ride, but then almost no one would buy it, so that is not going to happen.

It isn’t like there is anything, and I mean anything else to look at on I-95 in the Carolinas.  As a kid, these kept me mildly entertained through some of the most boring stretches of road as we headed to the beach.  Now, I choose to take the backroads to avoid that terrible highway whenever I can.  That said, I don’t…

The niceties, like wi-fi, free coffee, and free food are great if you have to spend hours in a place.  Making the showrooms look like palaces or modern art museums is a total waste though.  It makes me feel like I am overpaying for my car whenever I go to buy or service a car.  My favorite dealer is a hour away. …

Can it do 65 on the freeway with a slight incline? Does it almost get blown out of its lane by passing tractor trailers? Both of these were issues in my 87 Samurai.

I quit in 2018 for free.  I do not see a set of circumstances that will ever force me to go back.  I never really wanted to join in the first place.  I should have stuck with my gut.

Er...you short-shifted over third gear.

What this film does so well, is provide context for all of the imperfect love stories.  The fact that so many people cannot look past present-day hang-ups to see the context, and indeed, the era in which it was created is disappointing.  Thanks for giving a more balanced review than most recent attempts.

Sad to see Mazda’s poor sales figures.  Biggest surprise is Audi’s decline.

Yeah, Durham definitely doesn’t want Cary as a suburb.  Raleigh can have them.

I bought a sedan in 2018.  Got a great deal too.  Can I fit a clothes dryer in it?  No.  Is this something I routinely have to do?  Also, no.  Instead it is quiet, handles well, and gets good fuel economy without the need for direct injection and turbo charging.  Sedans rock, but people think they are old and staid. …

So, this is what Cam Newton is always trying and failing to do.

5th Gear. My 2012 Prius did this (stalled). Toyota couldn’t find the problem, and wanted me to replace each drivetrain computer, one a time to see which one was faulty, at my expense which could have cost upwards of 8k if I had replaced all of them. I refused and dumped the car ASAP.

I was going to get this to wear for Halloween, but now it looks like I am going to be at Disney, so I am not sure if it is still a good idea.

I’d feel perfectly comfortable owning one of these from a safety standpoint.  Compared to my 1987 Samurai, the Jimny looks awesome.

Nope.  Just nope.
