The Fly

And it still might be worth it. 

Between my hot-rodded ‘79 Olds Delta 88, my lightly off-road-modded ‘94 4wd Nissan Hardbody, my dead-stock 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis, and my sub-12,000 average annual mileage I fully expect to not need a new car until there is no gasoline.

Yeah, it would be perfect for me if it was for those pesky kids. (I have 4)

When I'm with my wife we use something like:

Very tough. The 7 is #3 on the wikipedia page for worst drag coeffecient of any car made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_drag_coefficient

Massholes? You’re going to run a Seven around Rt.128?

I wear ear plugs in my miata when the top is down on the interstate. Air is loud.

An electric Elise would be pretty alright.

Hey, have some respect!

Have you met the US school system? Especially the one that the lower income and marginalized groups are stuck with? And in Texas?

Yeah I’m not sure requiring CO monitors would have done anything in this case.

My stinkin’ Outback has simulated shift points that you can’t get rid of. What the fuck is the point of a CVT if they are going to make it “shift”

All hail the physical button. Nothing is as safe. It’s always where you left it. There is physical feedback when you use it. No need to ever take your eyes off the road. 

Even on the street in a straight line there’s plenty of skills that can be applied.

The lighting effects actually cheapen the look IMHO. It’s like adding tacky mood lighting from a sketchy ultralounge to a nice fine dining restaurant. It’s trying too hard.

I’m over ostentatious luxury interiors. I don’t even like leather anymore. Real or fake. I’d rather have a mix of a high-end fabric and suede.

I’ve never understood why people like these horrifically tacky “luxury” interiors in their cars. You wouldn’t catch me dead with white quilted leather armchairs and RGB lighting accents in my living room, so why would I think it looked classy in cars?

There is a definite segment of the buying populace that wants people to know they have an EV. But I agree the need to do out-there styling is a recurrent mistake, as well as making everything touchscreen and in some cases, center-binnacles just to look different but actually being just annoying. I imagine Mazda wants…
