3rd Gear: This isn’t exclusive to the auto and cell phone industry. It seems that for how high-tech Japanese firms appear, the populace takes a very long time to adjust to new technologies. If I’m not mistaken, they still use fax machines for most official documents rather than e-documents with signatures, and…

All that matters is that in this movie, John Goodman fights a ninja.

I did not realize this place could host four or more competitions at once. It’s beautiful...

Man, just for once I’d like to hear about a new track opening rather than an iconic one getting closed to make way for unrelated developments. They’ve gotta be out there...somewhere...

This is the most underrated comment.

Neutral: Geely GC2 “Panda.” Mostly because I’m going to buy a thousand of them for like 6 dollars each and start the slowest, safest, cutest, and most hilarious spec racing league in the world.

I’ve come around to the front-and-center screen. They look tacked-on in press photos, sure, but in practice they’re easier to read and less distracting than one buried a foot and a half into the dash and sticking up into your line of sight. So long as there’s an option to turn the screen off completely, I don’t have…

Am I seeing this right? Did Ford finally figure out how to make a good interior in their economy cars?

It only has one review because $1,000/day for a car that can be had in the $25,000 range with similar mileage (per a cursory Autotrader search, with a few solid-looking ones below $20k) is asking far too much. $300-400 a day I could understand, maybe a tiny bit more if it was completely bone stock and pristine.

These could pass for promo shots for Project Gotham Racing 5 (RIP, Bizarre Creations).

I’m not even mad. The lede was perfectly buried and the content was exactly what we were expecting. Erin delivered.

Gigabyte’s QC is awful. Literally rolling the dice with every component, accessory, or part you buy from them. Across four components (two GPUs, two mobos), I have only one that didn’t die or develop some irreparable hardware/firmware/software problem within the first two months.

Yes, but $15,000 won’t be enough to keep the car on the road for more than two or three days...

Some people just can’t float those interest charges.

Car-based platform? Check. A load floor height at or below the knees? Check. Eight inches of ground clearance? Check. Tall driver position? Check. Inoffensive styling? Check.

Damn, with the exact same qualifications and price range, I thought you were talking about Merchants Auto in Hooksett, NH. That place is scum of scum.

I have lusted after an FD3S since I got into cars as a kid. I had an opportunity to get one that, up until two weeks ago, I regretted passing up on for the last ten years.

So unlike last week’s 80s sedan...this one has a cop motor, cop suspension, cop tires, and cop brakes? Yes? Still CP. 

...and the new 2.0-liter four-cylinder gets some real high 13:1 compression.

Does it have a cop motor, cop suspension, cop tires, and cop brakes? No? CP.
