Sure they’ve got dumb complaints at times, but there are plenty of enthusiast publications that will focus on a great exhaust note while ignoring chunks of interior rattling apart all around them or insane repair costs. If you're buying a car for the track, CR is useless. If you're buying a car to commute and run…

Don’t they award points based on fuel efficiency above a certain point? So the problem is really that their scale was calculated at a time when a car this efficient was unthinkable.

It's a REAL throwback.

That’s EVERYONE’S method of accounting. If I sell a $4k piece of furniture with $3k of profit, and in the same month spend $3200 buying some new equipment and renewing software licenses, I didn’t “lose” $200 on the furniture. My expenses were just higher than revenues. Not to be patronizing, but this is why virtually…

I was JUST about to post this! I tried it on my ex when I wanted to buy a convertible Cutlass instead of a Celica. Did not work.

I have done many long (~10+ hour) road trips in a Miata. Calling it comfortable is a cruel and irresponsible lie.

I had one as a cab in Prague, motherfucker is HUGE inside. Awkward looking but incredible visibility, so it's very very easy to park.

My Dad had an 85 XJ6 and considered this swap - apparently a SBC bolts right in, which is why these swaps are so common. Plus you can pull the wiring harness with the engine out and replace it with something engineered with a rudimentary understanding of electricity, so you solve 85% of the problems at once.

Everyone is a truck guy. Just some of us want a low-slung two-seat convertible truck with a manual and rear-wheel drive and no trunk, and nobody makes one, so we buy a Miata.

She is 27. That is the face of a 27-year-old woman. Yiiiiiiikes

“Human Flesh” is definitely an off-the-book option for a Dartz.

Or it could be that the most desirable EV on the market happens to be a $90k luxury car - one which beats similarly-priced competitors in virtually every metric, resulting in people with no strong environmentalist inclinations choosing it solely on the merits. My parents - very conservative - have talked about getting…

Oh my GOD there’s no way the plan is to “stick it to the rich.” It’s because the state wants more people to drive electric cars, but doesn’t want to spend money subsidizing luxury purchases. Teslas are great, and a 2500 incentive isn’t necessary to get wealthy people behind the wheel of one of the most desirable…

Did you have the turbo version? My understanding is that these had a lot of complicated systems that weren't necessarily unreliable but cost a lot to fix.

Named “Stealth” because its maintenance costs were comparable with a B-2 Spirit, but I’d still totally buy it.

I had one of those! They have the teensiest turbos and the intercooler looks like a chiclet, but they're some of the most fun you can have on four wheels.

That car is stunningly clean for its age. NP!

Whoa, it looks even better in ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz <snort> zzzzzzzzzz.......

No, it’s because most of Germany’s assholes left the gene pool about 70 years ago.
