General Car Discussion

It's called serving it's purpose.
Mazda 5 serves what it is: An MPV.

 

But the cars I mentioned do it as well, and have further qualities.

 

Yeah, what about success then? The PT Cruiser and HHR failed in demands, and the 5 lasted longer.
Also, any other factors you'd like to battle me with, like cargo space or safety?

 

We all know there's only one compact car anyone needs, and it's the 1988-generation Chevy Cavalier. End of.

 

Have you two noticed how no one else is commenting here anymore? It might be time for you to lay off the posting for a while, or take your argument into a pm.

 

Okay, I'll do the latter then.

 

I saw a black 7th gen Civic hatchback followed by a white 3rd gen Civic hatchback. Both were modified.

 

We went for a drive in my mother's brand new Audi A5 (non-quattro) only to get it stuck in the snow 50 meters from home. The most depressing thing is that we could have made it through if we pulled 1 meter to the right.
Accurate reconstruction:

All attempts to dig it out failed (-7 C and wind, ugh), so we had to wait for my father to pull it out with his Land Cruiser.
114 mm, what kind of ground clearance is that?
On the side note, we fired up our snow blower for the first time this winter and found out there's a rat living under it. Gotta buy a trap tomorrow. Do any of you have ideas on what would be the best bait for it?*
*I know that it is not the right place for this discussion, but general discussion thread is locked

 

Just leave out a bit of food and whack it with a shovel when it comes out.

 

Peanut butter, sunflower seeds

 

All I want for Christmas is for a car rental agency in the U.S. to offer a god damn manual transmission. I don't care if it's a Mitsubishi Mirage, I want to swap the cogs myself and not have a bunch of binary do it for me.

 

:AGREE: Seriously, people in 'murica now are too f***ing lazy to shift their own gears.

 

Last I checked you could still rent a manual car at least through Hertz more expensive option and I'm sure there's manual cars on Turo, haven't had to rent a car though lately because my Jeep has been for the most part reliable and more affordable to travel for work with than flying and renting a car.

 

Also, soldiers are too lazy to load their own arches.

They're a business, not some hyper-inclusive EU agency.

Judging by car sales, only about 1/40 Americans prefers stick, and a man who can drive stick can drive automatic, while the opposite isn't true.

 

But that's a faulty way to determine how many people drive stick. Many new cars in the US don't have the option of a manual, and there are plenty of people who currently have cars with manuals that aren't looking at buying a new one anytime soon. You might be surprised if you talk with a lot of 40+ year olds at how many of them drive stick, or at least used to drive stick. It's uncommon for younger people to know how, but most older adults have experience with stick.

 

Am I the only one who is used to manual and finds driving an automatic difficult?

 

Shhh..... Let dumb people say the stupid shit they say, I need more material for a subreddit.

 

Probably. I can't say I know anyone else who has that problem.

 

I'm the same way. I always end up hitting the brake with my left foot when I slow down to stop because I'm so used to clutch

 

No, MotherTrucker02 is the same.
