They are both a lot of fun. I have a good bit of seat time in NDs but they were autos and in TX so not really the same thing as compared to Angeles Crest.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

All the journalists and YouTubers shat on the 1.4T Fiata versus the ND. I really liked it. Driving the Fiata six speed on Angeles Crest was a highlight of my entire driving career. The sun rose over the mountains, incredible views, weather, road just pure top down fun. Maybe the best drive of my li...

I have to say, the Elantra is kind of dope. I filled up the tank and got 38 MPG hand calculated. The handling and comfort are quite respectable, it's super comfy and just a nice place to chill. I've weirdly gotten compliments on it from TWO people. 86 gets more but I would expect this to blend to n...

OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

I obviously haven’t had a kid but I have always figured I’ll join the Y again with a kid. Free child care means wife can get a break, I can earn some good graces with her, I n get exercise. I literally hate my fucking life if I can’t exercise.

I’m curious and hopeful that this goes well.

I’ve been beating that drum for a while now especially since the 24’s are out which look great. Elantra N is basically the Kirkland brand Hype R. Is that tiny bit of extra performance out of the Hype R worth another $10k in price? Not really. But is the brand prestige of Type R worth it? :iono: :am...

All the auto journalists are like ‘Elantra N is the Type R you need for the price you can afford’ and then proceed to prefer/buy/recommend the Hype R for reasons.

I will say, the ND does kind of stomp the BRZ86 in that way. Everyone acts like they're basically the same, but the gap between the miata and BRZ is about the same as the gap between the BRZ and the rest of it's competitors. I'm praying the NE stays the same weight as the ND, has 1-2" more inc...

I don’t know that taking money from people who saved is an answer though.
