My focus came with blind spot mirrors equipped. There's limited visibility out the back, so having the side view mirrors turned out as far as I'd like isn't practical. poo poo still hides behind the pillars, especially if they're 2 lanes over.

A lot of cars have a convex mirror, or convex area at the tip, which is functionally the same thing. I'm disappointed by the lack of recursive bonnet murals all the way down.

I love that Integra. I tried to buy a Prelude that looked vaguely like that a few years ago. I'll never forgive myself for letting it slip through my fingers.

When those Integras first hit, I thought the headlights were the coolest look I had ever seen. Now I really hate them, they're the 90's at their worst.

I've driven cars where no amount of "proper adjustment" could compensate for the visibility lost by today's thick-pillared designs. xzzy posted:When those Integras first hit, I thought the headlights were the coolest look I had ever seen.

I'm not sure what they would build it out of, but they list 2016 2 door zimmers at $238,700 with 435hp, and 4 doors at $276,800 with 420hp or $317,600 with 640hp. I can't imagine they have brand new 2011 mustangs or town cars sitting around.

It took me a minute to realize what the deal was with the MB C240 wagon. My brain didn't wan't to parse that those where parts of the wheels extending into the next lane. And I even know what "swangas" are. My brain just went "nope." Is it bad that I actually love the rusty Lexus? (Despite the "rusted" plastic bits.)

This is actually a genius innovation, the front axle is from a different car leaving the Mustang's front wheels captive and unable to lead the car towards pedestrians.

Mister Kingdom posted:Drive it anywhere! As a weird PT apologist, I can appreciate the attempt to... wait, is that a Chevy HHR? That just raises even more questions! At least the Neon and PT got stock Supers and Turbos to try and be not awful, who would ever look at the Cobalt and think "hotrod"?

Not that it makes the aborted retro styling any better, but GM did stick the turbo ecotec and getrag in the HHR SS. And btw the cobalt ss was regarded by most as a bargain pocket rocket at the time, especially the later turbo'ed version. angryrobots fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Oct 22, 2016 |

I probably should have guessed about a Cobalt Redline or SS or something, but they did an HHR SS? That's certainly a Super Sport-y light truck/van thing worthy of evoking the classic Impala SS. At least there isn't a convertible version, right?

Both of those cars were garbage no matter what drivetrain and Bryan Nesbitt deserves to be tarred and feathered. Other cars Nesbitt had his hand in making ugly: Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky, the Cobalt, and various other humdrum death-throw Pontiacs.

Someone post that goon's spreadsheet from years ago where he decided that the best way to buy a car was to calculate horsepower to dollar ratio, and ended up with an HHR SS

A coworker of mine has a 2016 SS. It's a nice car with plenty of power and good brakes. He got it for 10k off MSRP, but that still put it at 39k so...
