Similar for me, except the car was mom’s. Makes me wonder what kind of mind fuck it would be to drive a RHD one as an adult.

“The people who were in the van actually belong to the cat.” 

First, if you live in an area with comfortable nighttime temperatures you need information: get a digital thermometer with an indoor and outdoor sensor. This will tell you when it’s right to open the windows. It’s got to be about 3 degrees cooler outside before it’s worth it. Then, just opening the windows is not…

S, M, L, XL and XXL seats should be mandatory.

I, for one, have never encountered a digitless farmer. If I do, am I supposed to make a wish?

I echo the concerns about the DCT. I have a ‘17 Veloster Turbo and the ECU/TCU programming is atrocious. It surges when it should be smooth, it’s constantly fiddling with timing and boost and too frequently cuts nearly all power output. It’s something I hope a journalist could raise with Hyundai representatives…

Because there is much goodness in having a really long driver’s door. I have the current Veloster,am 6’ tall and there is a ginormous window next to me with great visibility and a large aperture for me to get in and out of the car. This is diminished with a normal 4-door configuration.

A catcher without a cup is indeed insane.

Perhaps not a typo. You might have noticed some online car sales websites initially list cars by highest price first. A particularly slimy salesperson knows this, “oops, let me add a couple extra digits...”.

So, nearly all of us are sitting around saying, “stock market investors bad”. OK. What are we going to do about it? Serious question: where does one put their savings that can give them the most return while not feeding this monster?

As long as the Focus Active will come in an ST version, with an automatic, and as long as this all doesn’t result in middle-class workers losing their jobs I’m OK with this.

I think the ump got involved because he’s pretty close to base path obstruction. The pitcher was in the stretch and if the runner wanted to steal third while the fielder was dancing around he’d have to run through him...or close enough for the ump to step in. And if the fielder ran around the second base side and the…

The generation featured in the article was such a let-down. Honda phoned in the overall design, didn’t do much to the H22 engine and increased price. It was the turning point where, s2000 excluded, the company went all boring on us - also killing the A-arm suspension on the Civic and neutering the Si hatch power…

Reminds me of a piece of kelp (also a form of algae) I found on a beach in central California. Nothing about the kelp itself looked uncommon, but I never noticed anything like it.

Tell that to the 7-speed DSG Hyundai trans in my Veloster. 95% of the time if I don’t come to a full and complete stop it will take off in 2nd. The other 5% of the time is an awkward jerky downshift-lag-GO-upshift-lag-proceed afair. Some people are having problems with the flywheels. It’s no wonder. Folks, stay away…

Close tax loopholes and require profits earned here stay here? Legally mandate profit sharing? Make education-based discrimination in hiring illegal? And then there is the fact that so many companies have no incentive to provide training for anything but mundane jobs. There are TONS of well-paying unfilled jobs…

Perhaps he’s a legend in your neck of the woods, but I’m willing to bet there are many who are unfamiliar with the Legends of Motorsport shows he did. It was him discussing and driving vintage racers. They made sure to take time to include good audio, which was great, though I always wanted more. Highly recommended…

Not coming back until they come back. If Hobbs retired then I understand replacing him, but THEY were the experience.

I’m beginning to wonder if the internet is worth it.
