    ^You guys still think Consumer Reports is relevant? CR's top-rated pickup is the Honda Ridgeline. They called the 1st gen Taco "an unimpressive compact pickup" and faulted the 1993+ Mk IV Supra for a "bone-jarring" ride" and being less fun to drive than a Miata.

    Not at all. It’s just like riding an ATV if you’ve done that before. You only need to use the brakes if you really need to stop fast. Other than that it’s just adjusting how much you press the pedal to adjust the rate of acceleration or deceleration. Super intuitive and easy once you drive for a few miles.

    The Rivian also makes a good vehicle for suicide bombers :cookiemonster:

    I find convertibles nauseating to drive. No idea how throttle input causes this sensation.

    Specifically cars that are weak chassis not intended for convertible. I've driven all of these, and my brain can sense the windshield moving separately from my body.

    I just came across the video and thought it was an interesting take on a popular vehicle.
