50th Review Special: 1996 Honda Acty Street – More than O-Kei
The prior writer was hauled off to be lobotomized for that pun. You’re in our world now. Welcome, mis-shifter and consumer of automotive content, yes you, coming back to your screen like a fly to shit. We own you now, disembodied voice of the viewer. By the balls and will not let go. I didn’t…

Cross Country in da Karl
The build up of anticipation to drive a car named “the Karl” was immense. I mean, for one it’s literally called, “the Karl”. That’s like driving a car in the US called “the Bob”. Anyways, for months I’ve been relegated to the role of “passenger princess” since I started to call Munich home (oh the…

The “Bid Mobile” – Trust Me, I’m an “Engineer”
WTF!? NOT A CAR NOT A CAR NOT A CAR! I hear your cries, your desperate pleas to understand just what this abomination upon the mechanical I have before you today. Well, dear consumer of content, we have a real Daytona Beach special before you now. Anyways, what is… it? Glad you asked, disembodied voice…

2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata Sport Tech (ND2) – Alpine Passes and Expensive Gasses
No time to explain asshole, I have two ND Miatas and everything from the German Alps to Rimini on the coast of Italy as my playground. Get in, buckle your ass up, and clutch kick this 2.0L slice of high revving self fulfillment into a grand tour from Munich to Rimini! The ND Miata retains…

2023 Kia Forte GT – I’m Old Now and Computers Scare Me
Hello all, I have located a usable WiFi signal while traversing a new, unexplored ring of hell. I have returned again to mis-shift into the prominent ass that is online journalism. And I appreciate all of you who bothered to show up for lecture. Recently, I found myself in another unique and foreign situation, in…

2005 Ford Focus – Weebles Wobble, but they don’t fall down
Now, those who know me know I love the Mk. 1 Focus. In fact, I own one, however this one isn’t a paperweight like mine. You’ll learn more about mine later, but for now I must leave you with this. It’s is a Mk. 1.5 Ford Focus, the facelift redo of the first generation egg…

Acura TL A Spec – VALUEラードのお尻A_Spec-¥3.000.000!!チーズ?!
Driving a Honda product that’s been used and abused like a 50 cent hooker is a right of passage for any petrol head. This example, a 2004 Acura TL A Spec, was graciously and mistakenly left in my hands by a friend and unwilling MSIMA viewer. Great another person who’s about to wax lyrical about…

2019 Corolla Hatchback SE Manual – Mais uma vez Estamos Revisando um Corolla
The 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatch is “a car amongst cars”. Me my fellow Mis-shifted assholes and consumers of content, you might’ve noticed that this isn’t our first 12th generation Corolla review. This is because we will not rest until every base Corolla has been investigated and cataloged and not because we couldn’t get our hands…

2020 Acura RDX A Spec – Mood Rings and Tech Kings
The Acrua RDX is an inoffensive crossover for someone’s stay at home programmer dad to use between swearing at python and swearing at a barista. The A spec badge usually means performance. Where the fuck do these two intersect? This is the kind of car – wait not it’s an SUV fuck me, I really…

2021 BMW 118i 6 Speed – Mini Bread and Bavarian Butter
This is a rental for a few days. It got taken to the alps. It wandered city streets. It cruised along lakes. And it found itself on some derestricted autobahn. Welcome to the mini clubman BMW 118i ! Ok so for legal reasons I probably can’t dig into this little nugget of German platform engineering…
