interesting that Subaru has been much more successful from a marketing standpoint catering to dog owners.  Honda had the idea, just couldn’t capitalize on it....

dang - I wouldn’t think diesel would explode like that, (like normal gas does.)

completely agree - really miss the loss leader, base 1990 Nissan Hardbody I had...

They are completely guilt free cookies - in economic parlance the barrier to entry has been entirely removed, thus sales occur.

son of a b....

I had a work buddy with one of those gen Integras, (not the R.) I didn’t fit in the damn thing, and it was a little clunky honestly. The Civic SI of the same gen seemed like a better sorted machine to me. Sure, the motor was amazing and iconic, but their reliance on high RPM NA motors may have delayed their work on…

I don’t really like the new grill... but I’m probably not their target market.  Still a super neat rig.  

yeah... “maximize ROI” for 18 months then golden parachute...  frustratingly short sighted.

I actually prefer the bunnies... ears first of course

hmmm  28k for the least expensive MT car?  Am I reading that correctly?

yeah - regardless of all the other stuff, I just don’t get the whole need to wear clothing made from the flag. It just seems disrespectful, (especially from a group so hung up on “respecting the flag”). It’s like using a picture of your mother as a door mat...

70d with a stock 200mm lens from about 20 minutes ago... color is NOT enhanced on the full eclipse shot

clearly Toyota should remove some horsepowers from the 86 to make sure it knows it’s place

Children can be, greedy, needy, self centered, inconsiderate, terrible little humans that make bad decisions.. I can completely see the perceived appeal of the MAGA hat thing to some hormonal 13 yo boys looking for approval and validation. That Native American elder just happened to be their victim of choice today. …

that turbo MZR DI tick is almost cool - loud but distinctive.. (but agree the other speed3 motor issues are less cool...)

Fake Mazda...

I’ve got a bunch from local breweries - gotta put them in the social media pics when you are out and about too.  Don’t be a wanker and grab a handful, just take yours.  

Love the write up, one vs the other. I strongly considered the 6 “Sport” with the manual a couple years ago to replace my 09 3 hatch with the old 2.3 NA MZR motor which I loved. The base 6 with the manual is a good car, but you do have to give up a bit.  It is a better bargain than the 3 with the 2.5 and manual.  But…

agree - best camera to have is the one you have with you.  About 85% of what I shoot is with a smaller, lighter, cheaper machine.  I love my DSLR but if I can’t get myself to carry the thing around that it doesn’t matter.  All of the shots I’ve ever had published were NOT taken with a DSLR.

man... feel for the dude with smushed leg - but holy cow. You have a group of folks standing out in the middle of what would be considered the track and driver comes up on them and has to decide which way he thinks they are going to run. Can you imagine this happening on an F1 track or even WRC? The spectator would be…
