Agreed. Even living in the city now, that top speed would be insufficient if I ever wanted to leave my neighborhood.  Read more

I feel your pain, I had a 2010 Cooper S for way too long. The list of repairs was extensive and expensive. Finally retired it when it developed an inconsistent boost fault and would puff blue smoke at idle. Read more

I’m loving the idea of complaining about the humor of a person who you don’t/can't follow and a show you don’t watch. Read more

Is it weird that the 2nd gen is my favorite? Read more

I mean, the headline involves “Star Wars” and “Tweet”. I’m not sure how thought-provoking you could reasonably expect. Read more

I think the 370 looks way better than the new Z. I still think the new one looks like a bad SEMA kit on a 370. Read more

‘94 Rover Mini, I think it’s supposed to make somewhere in the realm of 66 horsepower, but it only weighs about 1,500 lbs. So it actually feels surprisingly sprightly. Read more

I did Loveland Pass on a motorcycle once, and while it was gorgeous, it freaked my midwestern brain out a bit. Read more

I'm surprised nobody had mentioned the Hagerty YouTube channel. Absolutely killer production value, and some of my favorite presenters. Sam Smith, Matt Farah, Jason Cammisa, etc.  Read more

I'm never sure if this is all intentional trolling or not.  Read more

I loved the chassis, but man that car needed a Honda swap. Read more

I kept an R56 up until near 150k miles, because I hate money and love the smell of burning oil apparently. Read more

Eh, I drive a classic Mini on the interstate every day in the Midwest, and you get used to it pretty quickly honestly. I don't really get nervous in it anymore. Granted, the first few times I took it up to 70 next to a semi truck I almost peed myself.  Read more

Some of my city council is finally getting this idea. There was pushback this year about the new budget when people started saying “hey, instead of using all of this money to build NEW roads, maybe we should fix the broken ones we already have”. A little late, but at least it’s something. Read more

Everyone always forgets the golden rule: “Never Tweet”. Read more

My car has a kilometer speedo and I still don't know all my conversions. I usually just ballpark it.  Read more

I mean, Blackstone herself has basically written that exact same argument multiple times, and she works here.  Read more

Slightly related, but I’ve come closer to dying as a result of small white SUVs than almost any other type of vehicle on the road.  Read more

Yeah, when I picked up my car there in September of last year, they wouldn’t let me poke around any. They just brought my car out front, and had me do the paperwork in the office. Such a shame, but also probably for the best as I’d have tried to convince the monogamy buddy that we needed a kei van. Read more

It's unreliable in a different way, so...kind of? It doesn't do the $1,500 repair bills once or twice a year, but there's generally something not working on it. It DEFINITELY leaks/burns less oil though.  Read more
