If you’ve looked at the residuals on current generation Siennas lately, there’s apparently massive desire for hybrid minivans. I’m assuming there’d be at least a bit of latent desire for the Honda Stepwgn, especially as it’s closer to CR-V sized, and is at least a little better looking than the Sienna (although I’m…
The salt, brine, and magnesium chloride treatments on icy roads are the worst to me. I appreciate that they help keep drivers safe, but they eat up cars. I daily drive a 2016 MX-5 I bought new. It only has 70k miles but I already know rust will kill it. The reliability of the car’s drivetrain won’t matter much when…
I miss cars like this. The kind of car people bought as their first “new” car, after they settle into their first “real” job (or as a sweet-16 birthday present). Now, young single people aspire t0 lumbering 7 passenger mommie wagons.
Not a car that inspires lust amongst Jalops, but instead of so many CUVs, trucks, and pseudo-luxury cars I wish no-nonsense practical cars were more of a thing. Like a Dacia Sandero.
Even though it is in no way a performance car it would be so much cooler with a stick.
The state salting the roads like a they’re seasoning a pretzel when there’s less than an inch of snow in the forecast (or anytime for that matter.)
the people who tend to go out on bad days, and have ill prepared cars, also tend to be the people who need to go out the most. e.g. low wage workers that risk job loss.
Drivers who talk about how good their car is in the snow because it’s all wheel drive. See also: people who don’t understand the difference between grip and traction.
The drivers. Especially down south. If it snows and it freezes on the road it’s
And regarding the Lambo Diablo:
Similar boat as you. The gen 2 Viper GTS was always my favorite car growing up. In 2020 a 96 GTS came up for sale in my area at a great price, so I pulled the trigger without even driving it. Today I have zero regrets. It’s a comfortable car for what it is. I’ve taken it on a few 6 hour road trips and had no issues. As…
Regarding the Dodge Viper:
“The cars were better then, right? No. We all have rose-colored glasses. The cars were built like crap, they were gutless, they were unreliable, and many of them were ugly. We should have expected better, but we didn’t know what better was.”
I don’t really consider the Prowler a ‘90s car’. I know production started right at the end of the 90s so technically it fits, but I think in ethos it was the tip of the early 2000s retro car phase that gave us the PT Cruiser, HHR, and SSR, before arguably continuing with the FJ Cruiser, Camaro re-release, and retro…
Your complaints about the McLaren F1 really look like you just wanted to include it for rage bait and then came up with reasons after the fact. Surprised you didn’t use it for the header image. Really drive those clicks!
Nothing wrong with the 90's. And Bradley is wrong about the Viper.
This reads like a HotCars.com post. “This supercar is expensive to fix and is below average reliability and not practical so bad.”
Have been looking for a SE-R, but they are so hard to find in any decent shape. I am just looking for something interesting to drive on the weekends and a few nice weekdays for fun, so most deficiencies can easily be overlooked.
I loved the wheels Chevy put on those things.
By what metrics are Vipers not great cars? Luxury and technology? Gas mileage? Daily-drivability? Ok, sure, maybe not so great.
