I do this as well, mainly in places where the speed limit is lower than seems reasonable for the road and environment. For instance, a state highway maintains a 25MPH limit for a couple miles outside of a rural town, but there’s nothing but straight road and remnants of a long shuttered Chevrolet dealer. And it’s…

My first Gran Turismo was GT3. I recall its demonstrating that none of the mods made as much difference as having better tires. That part seems to have some truth.

I also agree. I haven’t paid much attention to F1 in a number of years. But WEC, WRC, IMSA and others have been great. I’m still hoping I can make it to the Le Mans race at some point in my life.

Mine is rather simple. I was coming to a red light with a number of cars ahead. I stopped before an entrance/exit to a small shopping plaza and allowed a waiting car to exit (instead of blocking it). When I did this a woman in a luxury car behind me started beeping her horn.

If you Google “ 41°24'41"N 81°37'36"W ” you can see the place where Cloverleaf Speedway in Valley View, Ohio once was.

Not far from where I live is a winding, undulating road the meanders alongside a river. It’s fairly nice for about half the year, but it can be frightening for the winter half. After an ice storm I was heading down that road, went around a blind curve and saw three cars stopped and people standing in the road. As I…

The car covered in stripes was pretty awesome. So why not glitter?

Maybe I should apply and give you some competition. I could put down that I have owned both a Pinto and Chevette, so I’ve plumbed the nadir of American automobiles.

As a former GM owner from a “GM family,” I think that GM would have found a way to make it suck.

The 1981-1985 second generation US market Honda Accord. It’s parents weren’t born here, but it was. It also had a significant impact on US auto manufacturing. Besides that, it was reliable, comfortable but could still be fun and engaging. It’s easy to forget how innovative and exciting Honda was in the 80s and 90s,…

Great choice, but I feel a need to add a photo of a real one.

But “Automatic transmission lever thingies used to suggest gear changes to the vehicle’s computers” isn’t nearly as snazzy sounding.

As a one time owner of a ‘92 Sentra I’m both horrified and not surprised.

I’m going to take another route. The Mazda 6.

“Physics’ Bitches” is the first that came to mind.

There’s a larger issue here. We all know how many clowns can fit into a small car. So if that’s a clown bus which became too full, there’s a whole clown platoon in that thing.

I once had an ‘89 Pulsar. Not convertible, but it had t-tops. I thought it would help me enter a mythical life of fetes and galas with the beautiful people of the late 80s and early 90s hitherto unknown to me during my Chevette and Pinto driving days, but alas, it did not.

A friend drove 10 hours with a fussy, very unhappy two year old daughter in the back seat. He described it as trying to concentrate while being jabbed in the back of the neck with a knife every five minutes.

If you’re ever driving in one of those areas and have car trouble, do not stop your vehicle in front of one of those ramps. When I was a kid going on a family vacation I saw the aftermath of what happens if a car’s in the way when a truck needs to use the ramp.

Mine stopped working after six months. I replaced it with a quartz Citizen Eco-drive that’s lasted for a few years so far.
