SUV's have ruined the roads for everyone. Sporty fun cars need to make a comeback.
We need mass-transportation and small, electric cars for when you absolutely have to drive yourself somewhere.
Our neighborhoods and roads are packed with massive trucks and vans and weird crossovers that look more and more like giant basketball shoes, and the people who drive them have statistically NEVER taken them off a paved road.
I mean, yeah I'm lefty #49764 ranting about transportation, but it's all because of the social manipulation by people who want to sell trucks that cost as much as houses and have unlimited access to our politicians. The only solution I'm offering here at this point involves creative home-engineering projects.
I agree. The world needs more drivable cars. Until this SUV/crossover trend ends, I'm hanging onto my 6-speed 350Z Roadster in Daytona Blue for the foreseeable future.
Even little things like the Toyota Mister Two and the Honda S2000. At one point, Toyota made a Celica that looked like a 7/8ths scale 70's Mustang.
I want a small, lightweight thing with a little more than necessary horsepower and a 5 speed manual, something that's actually fun to drive in normal road conditions.
Easily my favorite Celica model. One dude swapped a 1UZ into his. It was beautiful 🥲

Oh fuck yes. Sarah is awesome.
Don’t worry, the Celica is supposed to be returning soon as a new entry in the GR line.
lmfao I have not heard that one before
You've never heard someone call an MR2 that? How else do you pronounce MR2?
Kinda like "Ehm Arr Two"? Though English is not my native language, so it might be that.
I thought that everyone pronounced it your way...
(That's how it's officially pronounced but "mister two" is more fun)
