I honestly am struggling to find any real HUMMER design cues. There’s a couple of maybe-that’s-similar items, but for me, the whole design is a bit forgettable. Now compared to a Chevy truck, with the crazy grilles, it’s a total improvement, but there’s something lacking that I’m struggling to put my finger on. Also, I…

Really? After seeing some walkarounds of the Hummer, I still think the Rivian is the better product. Not to mention better looking, but looks are subjective.

Curious what the Black Flag was for. Didn’t seem like you did anything wrong. Or was it that they wanted the car back for more tuning? Loved watching that video and your review!

Different price category, but you can get the Porsche Lizard Green on most new 911's...

Heck, I think the Puma would have been WAYYY better than the Ecosport and would have basically competed in that category. 

That’s basically how I felt with my 18 Mazda3 when the new 19's came out and the only way to get a manual was in 1 trim level, on the hatch that had no visibility. As much as I like the new interior, I’m totally happy with my car. Glad you’re enjoying yours! :D

There actually are rumors that they might end up doing just that actually. Apparently, rumor has it that they’re going to simply move all their engineering to their Irvine sight. So it might end up costing the state of Michigan after all.

Yeah, I give the Subaru and Volvo ones a pass. The Subaru is a situation that happens probably every day (somewhere around the world). Heck, that’s how I rear ended someone when I was a teen. I was checking my mirrors to get into a different lane and the car in front of me stopped. When I looked up, it was too late.…

Haha I totally agree. For those who bought the straight 6 engine variants, those were actually quite reliable at least (I heard of some troubles with the V8 545i variant too)

That’s about where I’m at with the e60. It’s a good design, but not my favorite design.

Everyone ripped on the e60 5 series when it came out, but it’s proven to be a trend setter and has oddly aged really well (I still prefer the e39 myself, but I really appreciate the e60). Especially on the interior. Minus the archaic iDrive unit, the cabin is pretty similar to what’s being done currently. 

To be fair, there were a lot of reports of people TRYING to get them but not being able to due to dealers not wanting to deal with those buyers + overall lack of cars. So basically, the few people who wanted them couldn’t find them, but they were so few that a dealer didn’t care. Double negative. 

I’m an interior engineer for Ford and based on what I’m seeing, it’s still all new tooling and work for just about every interior panel. Each surface has been modfied, which basically means that you have to go through the design process again with only a few shortcuts. The only things that are staying are the hard…

Don’t know his reason, but I never loved driving my brother’s 370. Felt a little jittery when the road wasn’t perfect and the cabin view felt cramped (like a Camaro). However, I’ve always liked the exterior design of the 370z. Some of the refreshed fascias have been a bit off, but the overall shape is something I…

I see this (from a weird indie game I’ve never played)

All I see is a nutcracker mouth gaping wide open for the next chestnut... It's creepy and a deal breaker for me (if I was in the market, but I'm not. I'll ask my brother his stance later since he is a huge Z fan and potential buyer).

Keep up the Yoga! I have pretty significant scoliosis and slipped a disc when I was 21, so I totally know how bad back life goes. Yoga and yoga related exercises really help. If you get into a routine of stretching at least a little every day, that will do wonders in the long run!

All I thought of when I read your first line :D

I second your decision on the Mazda3!!! It’s super relaxing when you want/need it to be but loves getting thrown into corners when you want to be a little reckless. Plus if you get Soul Red, you can just sit next to the car and let the color soothe you (yes, I’ve done this...).

I had to use a VPN to see them. I just got a free 30 day trial of one and then binged the season and let the trial end. Might be your best bet...
