We are all drinking from the highball glass of ideology.
gently caress yeah the Chats rule. I host a radio show/podcast and play them a lot, and I hit this track last week. Immediately got complaints from some of my listeners that I was promoting toxic car culture lol. Song is a banger tho and it's keeping on the rotation.

I've been following that dude for a year or two, just because of that Insight. It's fascinating, really. Lays down exactly what "gearing" can do for you, among other thigs. I initially ran across it because of the EFI install, after watching SuperFastMatt's Speeduino builds.


I would participate in that. I have some extras.

Agree with most of this minidoc, but sometime in the first quarter, it claims that Honda had never made a sports car before. That may be true for NA, but otherwise it is wrong, of course:

Wish I’d have been able to fit in a Solstice/Sky. Same problem I have with a Miata. Too freaking tall.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


I bought a Boxster as I have issues with the MX5 and even the early ones are surprisingly roomy.

I "fit" (barely) in an NB Miata but the Solstice/Sky were almost as bad as the S2000 as far as "not gonna happen". With the added bonus of GM didn't understand that nobody who can live with a car with effectively zero trunk space, is going to buy a Pontiac or Saturn anything.

I had a Solstice rental once. I accidentally locked the keys in the trunk. The trunk release is in the glove box, which you need a key to open, because convertible. Luckily thanks to GM build quality, you can just pull the glove box open, as the lock is just a plastic tab and it pops right out of the way at the slightest pressure.

You can do this in an NB as well. Guess how I know it.

In fact, it was created in response to a troll.

Ford Europe tweeted a video, after unveiling its blue Ford Ranger Raptor, that one online comment "stopped us in our tracks." And the company bristled with the social media poster wrote, “Well, that's a cool car! — But that blue color is very Gay!! Hey Ford! Paint it in BlackNGold or camo!”

The company offered an alternative but it wasn't BackNGold or camo.

"What happened next was a masterclass in shutting down homophobic trolls," wrote The Advocate in August 2021.

Ford of Europe instead tweeted a video of a "Very Gay Raptor" with rainbows and gold glitter, making clear Ford stands up to discriminatory speech as an LGBTQ ally.

This year, the Ford Pride team in Dearborn felt it needed to step up and created the Ford Pride Bronco.
