Poor-ish people should not be in the market for a new car, but it used to be only poor people, and poor-ish people used to be able to choose between new cars or larger used cars. If the current development continues, the number of people who can’t afford new cars will continue to increase.

Here in Germany AMG SUVs are becoming cliche drug dealers cars. I also remember a case where someone receiving unemployment money was found to own an S-Class, a Cayenne, a 911 Carrera S, a 911 Turbo S and a Rolls Royce. It made all the national news when the police rolled into town with around 25 officers and 5 tow…

It is a distracted driving violation, as changing the setting requries you to look at the screen unreasonably long.

HOAs don’t exist in germany, and as far as I know there is no law that prevents you from having any number of unregistered cars on your property, in fact my neighbour had two or three he was restoring for some time. The one problem I could have seen David run into would be environmental/safety laws depending on where…

I read about it in german news a few days ago, the descriptions here are reasonably well translated, which is quite a surprise if Google translate was used.

GT3 race car:

Yeah. People seem to forget that in the apocalypse field serviceability is key. The one truck to have post-apocalypse is the Unimog 435. You need about three wrenches to keep it running, and both the engine and hydraulics will run on cooking oil.

The “I HAVE TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO OPERATE!”just came up in a german courtcase.

The russian shuttle would have been much better had it been finished. It had more payload, could operate unmanned, had engines for cruise, and its carrier rocket was reusable.

If IKEA now makes its meatballs out of plants, what are they going to do with the people who didn’t find the exits?

Leclerc was reprimanded by the FIA for meeting friends in Monaco between the Autrian races, Vettel for talking to Christian Horner without mask. Somehow Perez still thought it would be appropriate to go on holiday...

According to the manufacturer, if we can call them that, it is a light vehicle (EU class L7e), so it doesn’t even qualify as a car. It`s an ATV. No safety legislation.

AFAIK steer-by-wire isn’t currently allowed, so that system would fly right out of the window.

I meant that it is not preceded or succeded by another north american race

Solution: Fly directly into Sebring, never leave the track.

The logistics would probably been fine with Montreal, as it has been a standalone race since 2008. Instead, the reason for its cancellation that I have now repeatedly seen reported is that the winter would already have started by the time the race would take place.

I still wonder how he could become a meme before the internet was relevant.

I don’t know if they ran it in the US, but the Audi driving up the ski jumping slope was legit. They had a rope, but only as safety measure, it was never loaded.

If you know what you are doing, you can fairly easily replicate keyless entry/start keys by picking up the signal, although you need to get close to the legit key for that first. Another option is use the OBD port to get around the immobilizer and start. Both require significant preparation, so they’re not as easy as…

The problem with GT3 is that it has no technical rules other than BoP. The reason for this is that in 2006 it was intended as a cheap amateur class where several types of cars, mostly from single-make championships, could be used. At the time a Porsche cup car was around €160k and the GT2 car was 300k. Then…
