Welp, I know what I’m buying as my roadtrip machine. Didn’t realize late-2000s LS460s could be had that cheap.

I’m just now realizing that I haven’t deep cleaned my interior in over a year, possibly year and a half, because I don’t have to. The most trash that car has ever accumulated didn’t even fill a single cupholder.

That’s the one! I loved it to death.

When I was younger I was fortunate enough to own the Lego Technics 1/8th (1/10th? I can’t quite recall) roadster - the one with working suspension, steering, 5 speed gearbox with reverse, V8 motor, pneumatic “soft top,” all that jazz. This evokes the same feelings and I wish it were a real Lego set.

Nobody was going to cross-shop a Tesla and a Porsche anyway.

While I agree that Turbo isn’t the right thing to use, “Taycan Overvolt S” sounds more like the name of an electronica album than a model of Porsche.

Those numbers are awful close to the NA Miata, in fairness, and I wouldn’t consider that to be unbearably slow by any measure.

“Sir, those things you call ‘speed holes’ aren’t supposed to be in your chassis, nor should they be big enough to stuff a grapefruit through.”

2nd Gear: Mazota seems to be a fitting Mazda-Toyota portmanteau.

Old people ruin all the fun.

I would do awful things for the Honda S660.

I’m not too surprised the $40,000 SUV gets outperformed by $100,000+ SUVs. But much like the Mustang GT being in the same conversation with the BMW M3, it’s a hell of a showing from the bargain bin.

At first I was thinking “This is everything I ever wanted Odyssey to be.” Then the amateur level design kicked in with some of the most obtuse, un-intuitive platforming that plagues hastily-designed fan games and I lost hope quickly.

I mean, if we’re talking about what cars aged the most gracefully, I still maintain that the RX-7 FD could have been sold with the same body today that it had all through the 1990s (and if pop-up headlights were still legal, damn the regulators).

My repressed inner itasha-lover always screams for joy seeing this livery.

If Ferrari wants to spend all its money so badly they should start the next logical series up the performance ladder from F1.

I don’t like to DIY; Hoosier tire-fixing guy?

I completely agree, but unfortunately we’re approaching a point where keeping it analog means making it cost more.
