I’m told the cars are player-drivable. Take that with a heap of salt though.

Hell, these things have a good chance of catching on just from the business case. A tanker this size consumes over 2,500 gallons of maritime diesel fuel per hour just to maintain ~20kts...ballparking, that’s about $100K saved over the course of a weeklong voyage, and even a $5 million installation cost has a breakeven…

College is where I learned just how flammable dryer lint is, especially when you’re using two cans of Axe body spray as flamethrowers akimbo...

A car is insured and easy to replace compared to everything else.

I’ve been enjoying Scud Race / Sega Super GT and Daytona USA 2 on my home PC driving rig for the better part of the last ten years. A working, actively developed (albeit behind closed forum doors for now), and fully featured Sega Model 3 emulator, Supermodel, blows the doors off what MAME can muster at this stage (in…

Not only is the heat dangerous for drivers, but a lot of medications and medical supplies (tests, bio, etc) will spoil when they’re exposed to that kind of heat for extended periods. Pills that could survive a few hours on a doorstop in 95F heat won’t last that long in a 130F oven, and packaging insulation can only do…

I’d hand it to the Sentra, personally. The current Versa at least retains a manual option and has a shocking amount of interior volume - both good things going for one of the cheapest cars on sale right now.

I want to see the load rating on those low profile tires. I can’t imagine this would weigh any less than four tons!

In 2008 I stumbled across a 1994 Mazda RX-7 R2 in the iconic red paint. Bone stock, one owner, perfect condition, full records, the whole nine yards. 24K original miles. Asking $12,995.

And let’s not forget sudden failures from defects or damage. If you lose power steering or brake booster, the wheel and brake pedal become harder to manipulate but they’re still physically connected to the things that keep you from getting into an accident.

I have no button to pop/release the hatch from inside my 2015 Mazda3. There’s an electric button under the ridge in the hatch that releases it - seemingly the only way to open it - but it’s not centered, so half the time a passenger needs to access something I get out of the car and open it for them because explaining…

As much as I’d love that, I’m not holding my breath.

This makes a lot of sense. Riding in cars or in the aisle seat passenger jets I usually do fine, but I get a little queasy in SUVs/trucks and window seats. Ye cannae deny the laws of physics!

An hour on the GSP teaches you more about situational awareness and car control than a weeklong course at Skip Barber.

Truth. The only argument I really have against the Toyobarus is the motor...that FA24 has me pretty concerned in the reliability department, even as I keep looking at the trunk of the current Miata and wondering where on earth I’d fit anything on a trip.

That last sentence just about sums it up. The difference between a neglected Toyota and a well-maintained Toyota hardly means anything when both will get to 200k+.

Merchants Auto in New Hampshire pulls this exact shit on a scale of like 2000+ cars. They can go right to hell.

Ding ding ding. A $50K car may not be much in the grand scheme of luxury sport sedans, but treating a serious adult buyer (coming in on a scheduled appointment, no less) like a 16 year old who showed up with two of their friends the day after they got their license to go on a joyride?

Huh! I was wondering what car the Soleidad Wendover that was just added to beamNG Drive was based off of - this looks like a ringer.
