Yup. To archives:

It’s an Abarth judging by the front clip, so they at least bought the right one. My Italian-built Renegade with the same engine and a manual has been an absolute tank.

I have both. Nope.

Shifting a motorcycle is not that hard. I’ve yet to meet someone who can’t handle it, including people who can’t drive a car with a manual transmission. Proper braking, proper body-position and learning to not target-fixate are all skills I’d consider harder to learn. As for overall usefulness and…

I feel like this is merely a list of small displacement bikes available without regard to actual quality. The baby Gixxer is widely regarded as utter trash and the only area most of those Hondas exceed their competition in is price, and not in the good way.

I’m hoping they go further back. I’d love to see how much money Sony used to bury Nintendo and Sega during the PS1&2 era.

Holy shit, that cannot be coincidental. Did Ford seriously crib GMSA’s homework?

To be fair, our viewpoint of the classic Bronco is skewed by decades of restomods. An unaltered first-gen also looks kinda dopey and useless.

Depends on if you’re talking contiguous versus the totality. If you subtract Alaska, Australia is actually slightly larger than the lower 48. The Mercator Projection we all know is hilariously inaccurate the further you get from the Equator.

He’s correct by a technicality. The final iteration of the Fiero would be the LQ1-powered 2nd-gen prototypes, one of which miraculously survives.

That process didn’t involve a K-swap, because Spoon respected the car the CR-Z was meant to be.

For some reason I can’t quite put a finger on, I hear the faint sound of Drill Queen’s Born Depressed wafting through the air.

I’ll go with the rules-lawyer option.

Lemme start it:  Automatic trans in an E30 is a critical failure.

Something something answer.

Wrong generation. The wallet-destroying V10 S85 is in the E60/1 M5 and E62/3 M6.

That said, yup. The E39 M5's improvement over the 540i doesn’t fully justify the premium for the casual buyer.

Haven’t you heard?  It’s in the undertail of Kawasaki’s new ZX-4R.

Pangolins are weird. When four wheeling’ they essentially “walk” on their front knuckles and also have a tendency to do this:

Obscenely rich asshats note: if there was ever a chance to dunk on Bezos, here it is.

Enh, I kinda get the sentiment. At its most basic, F1 still has a wheel, a go pedal and a slow pedal. The fundamentals of getting the best lap time in an F1 car apply almost 1:1 to getting the best lap time in a Miata.

These things? Fuckers have not a thing in common with crewing a traditional racing sailboat, let…

I’m square in their target buyer: gotta car, gotta CUV, eyeing up a small-ish truck to add to the fleet in a couple years for trucky things. Namely, towing. The update on the towing kills this for me. I realize apples to oranges but you can tick the equivalent “Tremor” box on the Ranger and not lose a pound of towing.…
