The PS 4S are the direct successor. I just replaced a set of PSS with the PS 4S on my RS. (That’s a lot of Ses)

I think it would be a mistake to leave winter tires on in the summer, because they will betray you at the worst possible moment. Had someone come out in front of me to the point where I had to apply hard…

I had an ‘87 E30. Can confirm. First of all, any rust is perma-cancer. The damn thing ate a muffler every other year due to rust. E30s are just not meant to be anywhere North: can’t handle the salt. Part availability was crap too. There’s like one dude somewhere in Bavaria sitting on E30 parts and everything is super…

Of course they won’t. It’s the same reason manufacturers sell t-shirts with their own logos plastered all over them. It’s no less tacky though

Doesn’t make it any less tacky

You’re wrong though, trains are great! I approve of this solar initiative though

As a former 09 Civic driver, these things are awesome. I had a manual EX, and with some suspension mods like a thicker rear sway bar and stiffer shock absorbers, it was absolutely a hoot to drive! I always remember it fondly. My only issue was with the R18 engine not being friendly to modification. After considering…

So much this. I’ve driven modern CUVs, and they are ... ok. They are a perfectly fine couch that will drive in straight lines on a highway. In fact, it’s quite nice that they have better ability to absorb larger potholes. They are sooo goddamn boring though. Easiest way to describe them is that it feels like playing…

God daaamn. Never heard of that one. I periodically hear of how bad it can be, but this information rarely percolates into public discourse in the US. That’s messed up

I’m getting that it appears the porn industry is actually better in at least this one respect. That is, it seems the voice acting industry has a lot of gropey and abuse of power type situations, like said “casting couch” - having to sleep with various people just to get a job. She then points out that the porn…

Nah, Soviet life was just fine*. American media has propagandized the bitter-cold dreary gulag-like state of the USSR and Russia, but there are real damn normal people living there. People who enjoy sunny days, ice-cream, sports on TV, and cooking outdoors. USSR also provided for a lot of sick and maternity time, so…

Kind of like Ford complaining their Focus SEs don’t sell without addressing grenading auto transmissions and neglecting to update the car for years. “Nobody wants to buy our outdated car with a shitty transmission! Americans must not want small cars!”

I had to re-read your post 3 times to figure out what you meant.

In saying that differences are purely social, are you suggesting testosterone does not play a role in physical differences? Simply comparing top-level athletes scores (e.g. weight lifted), you will find men are across the board going to be stronger.

Focus RS checking in with a “fuck you” to Ford as well!

They’re basically all sold at this point and you’d be looking at used

I’ve been reading more about the Veloster N and it seems like a great successor to the FoST. It appears to be in almost every way better

‘16 Ford Focus RS

Sadly mine cannot be turned off! You can press the off button, but it’s for sound, not the whole unit. It just goes into a standby mode where it brightly insists on telling me the current time and some general info.

Eh... they are obnoxious when oncoming because of the extra light, they do not help the driver or instead actively hinder them (by reducing distance night sight), and overall they just add to light pollution. I dunno, it’s certainly not as bad as tall vehicles with bi-xenon lights murdering my face, but it’s pointless…

I’ve heard of that! I do have to say that Ford has at least figured out the gauge cluster. I have a 16 RS and am currently driving an 18 Escape as a loaner. The RS cannot dim the dash all the way down, so the gauges and everything are still somewhat lit at night. The Escape has what I would call stealth mode on the…
