We worry because it’s the batteries which give us trouble in the extreme cold.

Manual? COOL! I LIKE it.

On the other hand, his roses are looking very healthy now.

How is the different from a Maverick or a Ridgeline? Aren’t they just unibody trucks, kinda like a crossover with a truck bed? Especially the Ridgeline:  it’s just a modified Pilot.

That’s a ridiculous statement. It’s certainly a crisis for the manufacturers.

“Rust free,” like Telly Savalas had “a full head of hair.”

It’s a nice car, I really like it, but I’d rather have a naturally aspirated Miata, thanks.

Yes, I turn the car on while I’m scraping the windows and pushing the snow off the car. The defrost works so much better if the car is warm. If the windows ice up again when I leave, I’m not going anywhere. If it’s above 0 celcius, I just go. You’ve got to be practical about these things.

Somewhere in Japan, there is a at least one engineer who is as weird as you are. Neat eh??

My great love was and still is the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door coupe.

It doesn’t sell like it should. They have to try something. 

I disagree. Fundamentally, the 2021 Ridgeline is the same vehicle. It’s a facelift only, as far as I can see. Other articles I’ve read say that the significant changes are the look of the vehicle and the addition of a real volume knob. It’ll still be as comfortable and convenient as ever.

I say they name her “Ember.” 

I don’t mind the exterior. I like it, actually. It’s quite retro. I don’t like the steering wheel. I expect a car that looks like this one to have a retro interior to match. That is what I’d want anyway. 

I like power as much as the next guy, but this is getting ridiculous. 

My favourite racing team of all time was the Silk Cut Jaguar team from the 1980s, and I never smoked, so . . . . no.

My story is very similar. My wife wanted an HR-V. No manual with AWD. Now I drive a Subaru. Of course, manuals are getting tough to find in Subaru’s line up too, but I found one! 

“But the main thing is this: I just ENJOY it. I feel more in-tune with the machine. I feel like I have more control. I feel that I am more involved in the ACT of driving. I’m not just floating through traffic, I am taking an active role in the direction and manipulation of my vehicle and I am taking responsibility for…

“Hear Hear!”

I had a 2010 Fit with a manual. It was one of the best cars that I’ve ever owned. It was everything they said it was: roomy, easy to park, clever, fun to drive, great on gas and extremely reliable. I could put a couple of bikes in the back if I lifted the seats up, and still have all the room behind the seats for more…
