“only 13k” is a large number for a halo car.

Even as someone who loves modding cars: “Most of them.”

Hey, I commented about this on the new Z reveal post. Manual with radar cruise is a rarity. The new Z has it, and a few others that I know of: Ford Mustang, VW Golf, Honda Accord. Probably some BMWs/Audis. But I’m sure there are others that I don’t know about- and it’s very difficult to find them! It’s not a feature…

One thing I noticed in the reveal is that the Z seems to have Radar Cruise *and* a manual transmission. This is rarity in the car world. I know the mk7 Golf has it, I’m sure other VAG cars and BMW’s have it. I know the Honda Accord can have it. It also seems like you can get it on the Ford Mustang?

It’s exactly as promised. I'm buying.

Oh they absolutely changed clutch stuff for gen 5, with the factory twin-plate clutch. Not surprised it feels great to drive!

Wouldn’t you say the Viper’s clutch is stiffer than the SS (with the stock return spring) though? The clutch in our gen 4 ACR is definitely smooth, and far more enjoyable than the SS, but I would say it’s significantly heavier. However, the engagement point on the Viper is way higher than the SS, which makes the…

Oh hey! Manual SS owner here. I totally agree. I like the car so much though that I’ve been trying to find solutions to it.

Begrudgingly, Grand Touring cars. The kind of car that’s meant to take on very long, boring highway drives in the highest comfort. Let the car’s systems take the stress off with radar cruise, lane assist, auto trans, etc. 

With a few too many Anbernic devices sitting on the desk myself, I’ve really been appreciating your coverage of this space!

At the end there, when she was walking towards the cops and they were making motions to “stop” and “turn around” and she was kind of ignoring them and gesturing towards the curb, I’d like to imagine she was saying “Why don’t I just go over here by the curb and we can all do this arrest more comfortably in the shade?”

I don’t disagree.

The Miata works because of literally every little detail about it, exactly the way it is now. It doesn’t need to be a foot longer and a couple hundred pounds heavier. Changing it in that way would ruin what it is.

No thanks

...Wait, so you think race cars can’t/don’t have stock drivetrains?

You got me! You said “street car”. My bad.

Chiming in to second this so you know you’re not alone.

People who mix up “etymology” and “entomology” bug me in ways I can’t put into words. 

You’ve gotten a lot of crap on this thread, as you probably expected. Just wanted you to know, you’re not alone. For the past 4 years, I’ve dedicated a large amount of time, effort, and resources into setting up the skills and back-end required to run an in-perpetuity fleet of older cars. Aka, it’s a shop that knows…

Build your PC into a box in an adjacent room (or basement under your office!) and run the wires to your desk. The box can have nice, big commercial cooling fans that are quiet and never go bad, and you can filter the air with big AC duct filters. No dust on your PC components, ever, things stay cool, and your office…
