In retrospect, our measures to prevent bird strikes may have created more problems than they solved.

The critical problem is that you can have a Chevy Equinox EV for about $35k, it still goes 300 miles, and it has normal things like a radio. And the new Nissan Leaf is coming in at just under $30k with similar features. Comparable Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Mustang Mach-E also come in just under $40k now

Nissan Might Actually Nismo All The Things If Enough People Beg For It If enough of the brand's fans make their voices heard, Nissn will actually consider building a Leaf Nismo to rival the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

This is also prompted by there always seem to be some very cheap manual examples always around, and usually in better shape than youโ€™d ever expect for a small car of the era

Way too often I think I should switch from my Suburban to a Suzuki SX4 for winter duty. Theyโ€™re so cheap, way more efficient, and theyโ€™re probably kinda fun. But I really like my Suburban lol

Also felt like a missed opportunity for some good self-reflection and wrestling with consequences, because itโ€™s easy to start seeing Eddingtonโ€™s point about Sisko being Javert. He definitely gets a bit fanatical about stopping Eddington

The second-genโ€™s engine is a big improvement. An extra 30-ish horsepower and they got rid of the infamous torque dip in the mid-range.

But it also sounds like maybe a Boxster/Cayman would be the sweet spot

I think what you need is an 86/BRZ, if not a Miata. All of that rear-drive poise and spectacular steering, but you can use all the power.
