The CR-Z was not a success because its fuel economy numbers did not live up to the hype of it being a hybrid. Had its fuel economy numbers even equalled that of the Prius it would have likely sold much better. Instead, since its MPG numbers were just marginally better than the Civic/Fit offerings at the time, it had…

The NRA you are referring to - the one that prioritizes education and community amongst gun owners and enthusiasts - has been gone for decades. The NRA no longer represents sensible gun owners; all they care about is blocking common-sense gun control legislation... so good riddance, as far as I’m concerned.

If this was one of the earliest Eurostar coaches in production, that means it was 20 years old by the time it was retired. Considering what it was built to do day in and day out, that’s a long and prosperous life by any metric.

Two solid thumbs up to you sir!!!

Idk... I’m BiTurboBoxer’s brother, and I owned that car before him for about three years, and our mom owned it since new. After over 13 years and 165,000 miles, it didn’t give us a single major problem - with only routine maintenance and a couple misc items (new driver’s side window, for instance), it’s been an…

That’s because all your friends were idiots.

Counterpoint: in order for blue to be the best color, the amount of red must be minimized because red and blue look terrible together. The issue is, red is often an unavoidable color on cars.

2018 Subaru BRZ, 6MT, Performance Package, Crystal White Pearl. I ordered her a few days ago, and she arrives towards the end of February! This is my first new car, and will almost certainly be a forever car for me.

This, kids, is why cars loaded with lots of “luxury” tech will never be classics. Hell, the navigation system in my 10-year-old car appears dated!

This. 100%.

Mmmmmm... Outback XT in my favorite colors with correct transmission! Well done!!

Big ups to Subaru for finally making a three-row SUV/crossover thing that isn’t hot garbage - it actually looks really cool in fact! WRX engine, saddle brown interior, conservative styling, and enough towing capacity to haul a Factory Five 818C on a trailer?? This gets the TurboLag23 Stamp of Approval.

Owners of these cars will notice those things in the same way they notice the complex, nuanced flavors of a good wine. They won’t, but they’ll brag that they will because they spent way too much money and can’t be content to just stop caring and enjoy it.

Personal anecdote: I’m currently a member of a Formula SAE team; this is my second year. In March, our chief engineer let me drive the car during one of our test days. I’ve never daily-driven a manual transmission car, I’ve never daily-driven a RWD car, I’ve never ridden a motorcycle and used a hand clutch or a…

Finding out that they did this instead of making a Supra is like finding out that your kid made a 1:1-scale model of a Cessna out of legos instead of doing their homework.

I wonder if kit car companies like Factory Five will take advantage of this! A Type R engine in an 818C would be a blast!

I think banning all ICE cars would be a disaster for many reasons. Firstly, it’s classist; not everyone can afford to just go out and buy a new car or two, even if one day the price of a new EV drops to $20,000. The used EV market is also not nearly big enough to sustain the demand that would be placed on it…

I would hate to be Mary’s daughter. She is going to have one hell of a mess to clean up when Mary passes. Hoarder’s houses are a total nightmare. My grandmother is a hoarder. We spent over three YEARS cleaning her old house. We’ve moved her to an assisted living home, and she’s still hoarding salt and sugar packets…

I wholeheartedly agree. But unless it cures cancer, I can also think of a near-infinite list of things that I’d prefer to get with $100,000.

We “allowed it”... yeah, sure buddy. Haha why don’t you get over here and help us fix it? You come from Europe, they do things better! You can march into those dealership’s offices and tell them how they should really operate and they’ll listen to you because your way is better, and that’s how the world works!
