The Miata is one of the last true sports (not GT) cars available. The Subaru BRZ is another. I’ve owned both at one point and I’ve currently got an Alfa Romeo 4C, which is another true sports car no longer being made. At this point, I’m hard pressed to think of any others. Everything from Ferrari, Porsche, etc. these

As they should. Overrevving is 100% user error. Hitting redline is the engine’s method of preventing overrevving. Mechanical overrev is what happened with this car, apparently multiple times. One can mechanically overrev their engine without experiencing immediate catastrophic failure, also knows as a money shift.

Only 10 yards shorter than a Canadian football field, excluding endzones, which is just a relatable to many people as including the endzones for American football field length.

Reminds me of a certain Toyota Hilux.

I wrote this on Oppo years ago, but since my dad is currently in ICU fighting for life, I think it’s ok to repost again in his honor. Hang in there Pops....

Fuck this thing.

You had interesting tastes...  That seems like picking between a nice steak and a bucket of vomit to me, but that’s just me.

The Plymouth Prowler’s entirely useless trunk is one of the funniest car design features I’ve ever seen. What are you gonna fit in this, a paperback book?

SSR and Plymouth Prowler. Not sure if we can chalk that up to them being cancelled if it’s more a case of natural selection.

I am waiting for the Hummer H2's spiritual heir the Cyber Truck to be cancelled.

I remember when this car came out. I was visiting my local Subaru dealer quite often at the time ( my used Subaru was burning oil like crazy - how surprising, I know ) and they were expecting to sell so many of these. They even tried to make me reserve one because ‘’ they will be flying off the shelves and you’ll

it’s a tie between the PT Cruiser and the HHR. 

The Subaru Tribeca. I’m not even sure what they were trying to do with it as they had several models that were better at doing whatever it was trying to do. I’m kind of surprised it even lived long enough to have a facelift done as the first gen was hideous and should’ve been shelved before production.

Hummer H2 (and the others really). Enough said.

Imagine living in the mountains of western North Carolina and getting hit by the remnants of a hurricane...and in some ways harder than Florida got hit. What a bizarre turn of events. I feel terrible for the people whose families, lives, livelihoods, communities, etc simply got washed away with little to no warning.

Are those Amazon mules, or FedEx ones?

To everyone’s surprise the mule heavy portfolio started paying off.

There’s a reason they use mules/donkeys in places like the Grand Canyon, can carry a decent load a long way on very narrow paths. Not the coolest and fastest but the best for the job at hand. It really sucks, beautiful area, feel bad for the people dealing with the ongoing disaster.

Should have had Perseverance bring Curiosity some new kicks.
