Brazilian models include a gun holster and a hidden compartment for cocaine

Hardly without bias. I'm not sure who or what to believe - there is "supporting evidence" on both sides of the fence. Don't have the time to jump into this rabbit hole right now. All I know is - My wife's Mazda's manual (2016) says: My E46 (2005) manual says something similar. Saw the same...

It's becoming a fashion statement. At this point, I'm seriously considering an STI as an alternative. I just know the instant I buy one, they're going to release one with a 380 hp FA20.

If there's one thing we can all agree on it's that we hate dealerships and it's time manufacturers just started selling cars straight-to-consumer. Unpleasant & sleazy 20th century business model

I have $200K to spend on a racecar - get me the Civic.

That's what I'd figured - looked wider than 5" so $6K sounded like a not-a-lot of money for a quality job. Engineered is definitely the way to go on anything over 5." My wife & I built our house but didn't want to pay the ridiculous $18/sqft the builder wanted to install the cheapest-grade Bruce...

Very nice - how wide are those planks? Solid oak/walnut? Also out of curiosity, was it $6K for materials + labor or just materials & how many sqft? lol... Asking because I DIY'd ~1,000 sqft of flooring in our house last year and I've always been curious how much it would've cost to get the job...

Don't wanna tune a turbo motor - especially on a Subaru. Don't need/want the complexity of AWD - the simpler, the better for a DD. And I like Honda's reputation for reliability. WRX was on the top of my list, but then I drove a Type R and found it more exciting. Naw bro, even at $70K, it's a...

Nissan Versa. It's not about it being cheap - I've driven cheaper cars that I've thoroughly enjoyed and were entertaining. Fiat Punto in Italy, for example. All 4 doors were about 2" thick. Zero amenities. Barely any sound deadening. Two speakers in the dash that sounded like they were straight...

1) Can't see shit from that photo 2) Would it be cheaper to repair & refinish?

This is what I'm talking about.

I'm worried about tunes on a turbocharged engine... Can it handle it reliably for 200K or more miles? From what I've read, doing this to a Subaru drastically increases the chances of detonation.

Part of what concerns me with the long-term ownership of a "unique" car like this is the specialized parts as things begin to age. In 10 years, you might still be driving it, but it's not clear that Honda or any aftermarket companies will be producing dampers for the car, for example. So will...

Doesn't fit the practicality bill w/ 2 doors.

Let's take RWD out of the equation - simple, affordable, practical, daily drivable RWD cars in a 6 MT simply aren't offered anymore. WRX - Don't want/need the complexity of an H4 + AWD + Turbo... aside from getting it an automatic, it doesn't get more complicated than that. I keep cars...

I said plants god dammit

It depends - you can cut that question many different ways. Different people want different things out of it. For what I'm personally looking for in a daily driver, idgaf. But I'll tell you the best & most fun car I've ever owned was my NB Miata and that was just hilarious, all the time, with...

It's that they've hit on a combination that's not really offered by anyone else, combined with Honda fanboyism & neuroticism.

A lot of interesting definitions of standard itt.

Still with you - it's a modern design vs. one that originated in the mid-90s. No question the technology's gotten better, the manufacturing techniques, and especially the tire technology. But all else being equal, I would kill to have a Civic with a front-engine layout, 6 MT, and RWD for <$30K...
