There is a very small number of cars where the manual rate is larger than the automatic rate. The WRX and STi are one, the Miata is another. Any others on the list at all?

But what about the poor AVs that want to drive in the bike lane?

Kirsten is the next Warren, but she’s not quite there yet. But you can tell she will be. 

When there were no sidewalks in NYC, there were also no horses. Sidewalks existed so people didn’t fall into the mud and horsepoop in the street.

Huh. Didn’t know Dad’s midlife anticrisismobile had a 2JZ in it.

The reason I went with Miata over WRX is she’s married, but there’s no mention of kids. So there’s probably another car.

My first thought while watching all this: “I wonder if a ‘60s Cooper modified Mini could just waltz through all of this mess.”

A daily driver. Spirited, easy to park. Not too expensive.

... man, I just don’t _like_ leather seats. 

The thing is, the wheels and mirrors are a giveaway. That’s not just a Turbo.

Those aren’t pop up headlights. The headlights are permanently mounted. What you have there are ‘eyebrows’, shields that lower to partially cover the headlights.

I’m missing my eyebrow’d baby now. Poor girl, she’s the one who got away.

Good LORD that box has to be an oven in any temperature. No windows, no vents. 

Yeah, 20 other people made the joke and I can’t delete it. Ah well.

So... these are the ones Tom couldn’t Fix It Again, huh?

*looks at this review*

In this specific case, the cladding’s at least partially there to take the hit when you’re driving on unimproved gravel roads, driveways, or parking lots. Like what you find in Aspen or your local yacht club, or out camping. Anywhere that combines ‘has some money’ with ‘no, paving this stuff would be stupid.’

Yes, but it’s still not hard to replace the sand every year and waterproof the bank of lights. I mean we’re talking infinite money, this is just an engineering problem.

Huh. A glowing beach is easy. You just embed a three-foot deep bank of lights, then replace all the sand with translucent sand.

Good engine, solid front axle. Manual.
