This is fascinating! I was under the assumption that a total novice with some guts could play around and figure out how to muddle through. Though, thinking about the complexities of how aircraft work, I could see how that’s not the case. Feels a bit like the Dunning-Kreuger effect, where someone who knows a *little*… Read more

Probably what I’d be doing: panicking Read more

Man, I would LOVE this with T-tops or a targa roof Read more

I’ve always wondered this. It seems like it would be at least partly intuitive, the same way most folks can navigate a bicycle, car, or motorcycle without knowing the intricacies of the mechanics. I’m with you, though — would not want to test that theory on myself! Read more

ooooh mud flaps and a lift, Monte Carlo style Read more

All true! At the very least, this guy understood some basic mechanics, and had a healthy sympathy for the machine. That probably made it a LOT easier for the pilot at the other end of the radio to talk him through it. Read more

in this case, that’s a VERY good thing Read more

I think we can chalk his success up to “having a cool head in a high-pressure situation,” which is a cousin of common sense ... and also, not very common. Read more

I liked it in person way more than in photos. It’s simple, in a very good way. Read more

The blue interior looks SO good in person. It’s a lot like the blue they offered on the C7 Corvette for a minute.

I think it’s the case where the limits go way up, but it’ll still cut in if it senses you spinning or frantically sawing the wheel. I wasn’t doing qualifying pace on my lead-follow laps, but I never noticed the digital hand reaching in. I’m asking Nissan for some clarification on how stability control works, stay… Read more

You would be amazed how many cars are like this — usually small performance cars with large transmission tunnels. It’s not a big enough difference to be immediately noticeable when you sit down, but it definitely doesn’t help with long-distance comfort.  Read more

This does a good job of showing the wheelspin with either transmission. I thought it made the car fun in a teenage sort of way, but you can definitely tell that there’s more potential in it with a proper set of tires.  Read more

Yeah... I had a good 4" of rearward seat travel left, but I think you’d run into a headroom problem. When I drove the track portion with a helmet on, I had to adjust the seat down to keep from grazing the headliner. But it might be worth test-fitting it! I don’t think there’s any chance in hell you’d fit in a Supra,… Read more

Sorta. There are only 2 trims and no individual options. You either get the base model with 18" wheels, cloth seats, smaller touchscreen, etc. etc., or you get the Performance model, with all the luxury/tech doodads plus 19s, bigger brakes, and LSD. One assumes Nissan did this to get a model in under $40,000 while… Read more

I promise you, there will not. Read more
