Facetious answer was facetious.

When we first turned 16 and got our first ratty beater cars, my friend and I both decided we wanted to have a “system” in our cars.

Now granted this “LoveMyCar” dude is wrong, but I would then counter that so are you. My experience in owning 4 manual cars - some sporty, some plebian - and driving countless others is that the cheaper and lower power a car is the better it will be with a manual.

What you say is true, but let’s say for a second that the lockout switch goes bad on your ratty MK4 GTI so because you’re cheap and it’s already a POS you just wire around it. Let’s also say that you’re so used to it being that way you don’t have any issues but also don’t remember to tell the valet for the NYC lot…

Agreed. As someone who had a 9-2x and now an outback XT and has a lot of hobbies including playing music, camping, photography and videography I’m used to routinely packing my cars to the hilt. Surf trips? Check. Week long bluegrass festival camping? Check and I still had room to sleep in the back too. I’ve moved an…

True, but Ansel Adam’s work was also done with an 8x10 camera. An 8x10 negative run through a high quality drum scanner will easily out resolve a 100 megapixel camera... whereas I feel like that add was probably done on 35mm with what you can see is way less resolution!

I had a 2wd Team Losi XX Buggy as a kid that looked like this

The Mackinac bridge in Michigan is a 5 mile suspension bridge, but yeah 6 miles would make it quite a long bridge

Well, that was the best thing I’ve found on the internet today. Thanks!

WRX hatch would probably be the practical answer because with some work it could be made to do almost anything, including being FWD, RWD or AWD.

Oh how I wish that was the case over here too, if only to make buying used cars much less of a headache. I rented a car in Ireland last year and it was a dream - you actually had to pay MORE for an automatic so I happily took the cheap opel hatchback with the manual and had a better time while saving money.

Look at you with your “logic” and your “facts” lol

Why does everybody keep calling it a Corvette? Because any leak or source ever about this thing has only ever called it that. You can speculate that it’s going to be the next GMC Arcadia all day long if you want but that doesn’t make it right

I saw my wife’s step dad over the weekend who works for GM and is familiar with the mid-engined Corvette program. I asked him if it was going to be a higher tier Corvette but set to compete with the Ford GT... he chuckled and said it kind of reminded him of the GT

I just spoke with my wife’s step dad over the weekend while out in Michigain for a wedding. I’m not sure what he does other than he works for GM and is familiar with the program. I asked him if it was planned to be a Corvette model or a Cadillac and while it’s not his decision he said they’ve only ever referred to it…

My “women” are very impressed? Given that my wife drives my stage 2 Subaru with a heavy clutch like a pro, that my mom is the one that taught me to drive on a manual way back in the day, and that most of my female friends and coworkers all can and do drive manual I’d be pretty surprised if they noticed or gave a…

Underrated comment

The only people that would ever say “6MT” rather than just “manual” or “stick” are kids too young to grow up driving one or somebody older that never bothered to learn until the last couple years. It wouldn’t surprise me if they regurgitated rhetoric about “feel and sensation” over actually driving one because they…

Upstate NYer with a manual here, and I completely agree with you
