Well, we've had the Abarth for a week. This is as close as you'll get to a modern analogue car. Things it doesn't have. Auto stop start Emergency autonomous braking. Cross traffic alerts. Active cruise, or any cruise. Lane assist. Push button start. Wireless AA (I've fitted an aftermarket...

$1500 to spend? A road trip over twisty roads to a small town with a motel on the lakefront and a great restaurant. We did that a couple of months ago. Highly recommended

And waste the rest.

My wife's new car doesn't have a front cam or sensors, but it ends at your feet so it's easy to judge distance.

Because my wife got sick of getting out, going to the front, and beeping.

We obviously have very different systems in our respective countries. What I've seen owners and DIY'ers do makes me very happy we have a thorough inspection system.

In no particular order; Blind drivers. Drivers who miss 3 safe gaps then nearly hit the 4th. German cars out of indicator fluid. Fast lane hogs Tailgaters Honda fartbox exhausts. Honda owners. FWD burnouts. EV's EV owners driving their 10 sec tanks under the limit because they're down to 20%...

Travesty. Shootings too good for them. They need a good talking to.

There is a feature that can prevent beating the hell out of it from new. The Police.

How much mechanical sympathy do you have, and how many years do you want the car to last? If the answer is not much, cane the bejeezus out of it.

Pretty good. The best I've seen in the GT was 27, but usually 23 if I'm not in a hurry.

Minilites were the UK equivalent of Cragars, neither really do it for me. I always lusted after Campagnolos in real magnesium.

Picked it up yesterday and drove 220kms back home. It's like a damn go kart. It's nice and small and gives you extra road room to throw it around. It also makes great noises for a 4 cyl. The robotised manual is the nearest you'll get to a manual shift. You have to finesse the throttle to make...

I've used V1's since the late 80's. the Gen 1 was OK, but not class leading. It was the only one with arrows for front or rear detection. Then the Gen2 arrived and it was a game changer. Huge range, I've had 5km detections and not just on straight flat roads. Pair that with the JBV1 app and you...

Confession time. I will leave a cart on a walkway (not blocking peds) if it's raining pooches and pussys. Most supermarkets here used to have "otherwise abled" people collecting trolleys, but not many do now. So if they can't help those people earn a few bucks when they're exporting billions of...

ZFG.

Never park on a downhill slope from the trolley corral.

I'd get depressed seeing that everyday. Needs fixing.

Here ya go cobber.

If the engine has done 40k miles without grenading and sounds healthy, I wouldn't worry too much. What's the official warranty in the USA, is it transferable to a subsequent owner? Is it 5 years/100,000kms like here? If so, it still should be covered.
