    Accord Sport 2.0T is about $32k. I haven't personally driven it but every review says that it is fun to drive. You can even buy Mustang Ecoboost or Camaro turbo for about 30k, they will be fun too.

    Kia and Hyundai came out this year with sporty versions of their sedans as well. Not sure how good are they.

    0-60 is well under 6 seconds for both Camry and Accord Sport. This is on par with much more expensive BMW 330i. Both Accord Sport (which I think is better than Camry TRD personally) and Camry probably can give the BMW run for its money in handling as well. So if you want a sporty sedan that will be reliable and at least somewhat fun, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the two. Lexus ES though, I am not sure is worth it.

    Watched over the weekend movie Wander on Amazon Prime. The movie is a bit weird but actors are great. They had 1970 Olds Toronado, which I think looked pretty cool.

    Honda assembles most Civics in the US in Indiana factory. Toyota assembles Corolla in Mississippi.

    GM to invest $1 billion in Mexico for electric vehicle production https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/04/29/gm-to-invest-1-billion-in-mexico-for-electric-vehicle-production.html

    I believe loan ends sooner. That what happened in my case. To recalculate payment you need to refinance, but then your rate probably will go up because you already refinancing a used vehicle.

    If for some financial reasons I will have to get rid of the Mustang, used Miata is my plan B. Cheap to own and run and lots of fun.

    GM Will Build a ‘Large’ Electric SUV for Acura in 2024 Last week, Honda declared it'll sell only emissions-free vehicles in the United States—powered by a combo of batteries and hydrogen—by the year 2040. Buried in the announcement's press release, however, Honda quietly mentioned plans for "two large-sized EV models using GM's Ultium batteries," one for Honda and one for Acura, both for the 2024 model year. And they won't be built just from GM-sourced batteries, but by actual GM-employee hands, as confirmed by an Acura spokesperson to The Drive. "We are jointly developing two EV SUVs models using GM's Ultium batteries for the North American market as 2024 model year, one for the Honda brand and one for the Acura brand," said an Acura spokesperson in an email to The Drive. "As announced in April 2020, these will be produced by GM." GM Will Build a ‘Large’ Electric SUV for Acura in 2024 | The Drive

    I have to say I do find the RF very attractive, it is like a mini Jaguar in a way. And if someone is daily driving it, the hard top is the way to go. However, if I was buying it as a weekend fun car, I would probably get soft top in a Club spec, cheaper and lighter than the hard top.

    Love the car and love the looks of it. It was my second choice but can't beat a big V8 feel. How many cars today weight even close to 2300lbs! LOL, second generation of the GM Ecotec 4-cylinder 2.4L inline four (Buick Regal, Lacrosse, Chevy Malibu) had 182hp, 172lb/tq while this 2.0L gets same hp and only 20 less torque.

    Actually, I think it is. That is the ultimate family car or utility car for the Lamborghini or Ferrari or etc owner.

    And the best part - it really happened!

    SpaceX launches 4 astronauts to space station, nails rocket landing. "It's the third crewed launch for Elon Musk's company in less than 12 months. Crew-2's launch was one for the history books. It marked several firsts, including the first time that people have flown on a used Crew Dragon and with a used Falcon 9 first stage, and the first time that two different international astronauts have ridden in the capsule. The Crew Dragon vehicle that launched this morning, known as Endeavour, also lifted off in May of 2020, carrying NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the ISS on the Demo-2 test flight, SpaceX's first-ever crewed mission. In a nice bit of additional symmetry, Behnken is McArthur's husband." SpaceX launches 4 astronauts to space station, nails rocket landing | Space

    I find it funny how passionately people argue and downvote each other about looks of one car or another when it comes to their favorite or disliked brands. Isn't it in a few other threads same people argued that the beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

    I have to agree. There are plenty of level, paved or packed gravel bike trails where even a person with bad knees or other health issues can do fine, especially considering that most modern bikes have at least 7 to 12 gears, even cruisers. I do understand if someone is using e-bike simply as efficient commuter. That probably is great in a city and prevents a person to come to work all sweaty. But we somehow got derailed from the main article. Will be interesting to see when Santa Cruz goes on sale how many they will actually sell.

    You should make e-assist to your weights when you workout. I am sure that will make you better.

    Lyriq looks like one of the much better looking EVs. Interior looks great as well. Will be interesting to see performance, when it comes out. Considering it is a Cadillac, 60k seems like a reasonable pricing.

    I don't get it either. I thought the point of a bike is to exercise, unless of course you have a medical condition.

    You can't call yourself "science guy" and then say no point of going to space. Science has always been about discovery of unknown and pushing the boundaries of known. If people wouldn't be willing to expand and learn and discover, we still would live in the original caves we came from and hunt with spears. There are so many innovations that came out from trying to push the boundaries, exploring. Exploring space gave a huge amount of things we use daily now. Take as an example that small helicopter flight that this whole discussion started. Flying on Mars is an equivalent of flying on Earth at 87000 feet. Current Earth record for the helicopter flight is about 41000 feet. I think it is in our nature to be curious, to explore and to expand. Either it is good or bad is up for discussion.

    You can't question something that is an established FACT. It is like flat earthers questioning if the Earth really a globe. I am not going to even discuss this. Honestly, I was of a higher opinion of you.

    Wow, just wow. You of all people is a moon landing and NASA conspiracy theorist??? I am literally in shock.

    This looks so insignificant, but has such huge significance ...

    I have a hitch bike rack as well. But I don't leave them on the car all the time because they are cumbersome, in a way and car don't fit in the garage with it. When you come from work in the evening and want to go for a quick ride, it is way easier to just to drop the bike in a bed than to put bike rack on and than take it off.
