The part about him being an architect who is conscious about his image kind of implies it should look good.

What did you do in this situation? I picture myself just standing there staring as the thief struggles. Then when the thief runs away getting in and driving off like nothing happened

I was going to ask the same but then I thought of all the cars I’ve seen with Transformers badge swaps. The man-child market has never been bigger and Hyundai is trying to capitalize.

Soon to be in the market for a car that primarily belongs to the wife but I will drive occasionally as well. Was very excited for this one because Volvo has been killing it design-wise, but then saw my first two in the wild and they were a lot more toy looking in person than I expected. The issues you noted would…

For me the vertical taillamps are the signature design element that still look good. Should have kept them

Currently trying to decide between getting a 124 Abarth or non-abarth and upgrading with aftermarket parts. I see you went the latter route. Could I ask how you made your decision?

Have been watching too but yet to see them dip below $21k in SF Bay Area. Had the same reaction to this post!

On my commute I go past a house where there’s always a clean looking early 70s MGB GT parked outside. I don’t know much about these cars but a craigslist search shows it’s easy to get a functional one for four figures. Talk me out of it.

If I’m going a little above the speed limit and pass a speed trap I don’t smash the brake. I take my foot off the gas, look at the cop in my rearview and challenge him in my best Arnold voice “C’MON DO IT! DO IT NOW!!” So far it’s worked to intimidate any highway patrol from pursuing me

Vinyl top looks much better on ‘67-‘68 than the ‘69.

Yes there are people that live way outside their means and I don’t really feel sorry for them, but I think it’s unfair to assume that the majority of people who sign these bad deals are lacking in personal responsibility. People in lower income brackets don’t have very many financing options and if you need a car to…

Yeah maybe. These left hand exits are uncommon in the Bay Area. If he was on auto-pilot in the HOV lane the car might have tried to move over and then got stuck in the middle

My parents surprised me with an old MX-6 to take to college. The first thing I did was put some 18" rims and low profile tires on it. My dad was mad I was spending my money on wheels, but I didn’t want to listen. I was on my own (never mind they were funding my college).

You are probably the only one. I work in web design and it’s a pain in the ass to support all browser types. Sorry, but if you choose a dying OS things are not going to get better.

At the table I’m a very conscious eater making sure to keep food over my plate and clean up after myself (even at restaurants). But for some reason in the car I turn into The Trash Man. So I try not to eat in my car.

Comic movies are like special edition packages of the Challenger. The first couple were interesting but now they’re just endless rehashes of the same product they’ve been putting out for years.

I dunno. The proportions of the productions car look better to me. The concept looks squished.

I also thought of the chrome strip when I read that line. I don’t like any part of it though. The designers got way too cute swooping it into the taillight.

Skyactiv-3 sounds cool and all, but I’m excited about what Mazda has in store for 2019. New Skyactiv-X engine, new Kodo design, and new Mazda connect (I’m assuming with Car Play, finally). I see a Mazda3 in my future.

Ahaha. No shocker that the guy who wrote this would come from tract home McMansionville, USA.
