I’ll say it. I think this is a terrible idea.

Can we just discuss how an al-Qaeda terrorist magazine is called “Inspire” because that sounds.... well nothing like a terror magazine.
I don’t mind the interior really, I only wish it had heated seats. Beyond that it has everything I wanted in a commuter econobox. I looked at the ST but the rims/tires weren’t what you’d want for driving around here and the uprated brakes meant no downsizing those to gain more sidewall. Still, I’d love to have an ST.
Are we talking about in the US because I’ve never seen or heard of that being an option. They only offered the SFE 1.0EB for 14-16 in hatchback AFAIK (I have seen sedans with SFE stickers on them and automatic transmissions but those had the 1.6 NA).
We have two big multi-lane rotaries in the center of the city and a few small roundabouts scattered about. I don’t mind driving them but treat other traffic like it has no idea how to drive because, surprise, 90% of them can’t.
The 1.0EB was pretty hard to find new and as far as I know only came in a 5 speed. It’s a great car and fun to drive.
The 1.0EB in the Fiesta is a load of fun and surprisingly quick. It’s a nice mix where it feels quick but isn’t actually all that fast so you can have fun and not get tickets.
That’s an automatic “Stop that or get out” for me.
I literally watched the guy next to me with Ohio plates run straight through the rotary on my way home using EVERY.SINGLE.LANE and cutting off everyone because f**k us that’s why.
OK I’ll say it.
Love the story, and go Detroit for being in the press for something that doesn’t suck.
Instead, they put that time and effort into the Gen 2 Probe, followed by the ZX2.
I’m pretty sure those sold for roughly half that when new.
The windage on a ship like that can be insane even in a moderate breeze. Tugs have exponentially more power and vectoring thrust ability that a simple bow thruster doesn’t have. In many ports you will see tugs assisting cruise ships if the channel is tight though they will use bridles more than direct contact.
Talk about a shitty situation.
You’re telling me the Hissy Fit comment didn’t deserve to win?
You’re all wrong. Late 80's Mazda B2200 is the answer. Simple, dead reliable, and not getting the premium a hardbody or Yota commands. Plus you can fix them with a junk drawer of tools and parts from anywhere.
Of all the terms they could have chosen...
It’s been one of those days all is forgiven.
