I actually had an S1 Exige in the US back in 2000 that I bought new out of Germany. Long story, but I had it here 2-Years, it was a gray-import and not fully legal, I shipped it back to Germany to sell in 2002. I would buy it again in a minute and plan to put one in the garage when the 25 year rule comes around. I…

Well...you’re looking at really cool cars! I do think the M2 has a bit of a split personality, but cars like an evora 400 will offer a driving experience the M2c simply can’t match. Weight matters, and weight placement within the chassis is also super important. The 2-series will always be handicapped by it’s taller…

I certainly think so. It’s my only car. I’m probably shorter than you, but at 5’8” i fit behind myself comfortably without scrunching my legs or hitting my head on the ceiling. The back seat is significantly bigger than that of a new mustang for instance.

Different strokes. Per my post below. The back seats are perfectly usable, I use them all the time. My expectations may be different. I went DCT, which I know is sacrilege, but I’ve had and have plenty of manuals and prefer the DCT for a DD. I love it. Steering is fine, but not sure what you are coming from. It’s very…

Yeah I really can’t understand BMW’s pricing model, or else the nuts that pay that much.

You can get after market warranties for most of those cars for like $10k or less for 5 years...

Yeah the M2 Competition is already the sweet spot for performance and price.

If you’re dipping into the used cars, there’s literally infinite choices for cars at that price point....

Thanks for running those numbers. Super helpful.

Try it yourself before you criticize; there’s a lot to learn besides just flying the airplane. For most folks, it takes the better part of a year to get that time in and get their license. It’s not a question of being able to ‘handle’ 60 or 70 hours. 

$200k for a down payment, holy moly. Assuming that means 20% for a $1m house, sort of a weird scenario because too expensive to be one’s first house, so normally I would expect there to be a previous house that was sold and the equity used as a down payment, so it would only be in a checking account for days or maybe w…

The question of where the line is on reverse-engineering Mercedes-supplied parts is the point at issue here, isn’t it? Specifically, how is the word ‘designed’ interpreted by the FIA in clause 1 of Appendix 6 of the Sporting Regulations:

I get that, though it’s still not clear just how much they can and can’t duplicate. You’re right in saying they can’t just buy the parts, well, with the exception of engines and gearboxes.

Alternatively, if Racing Point was already using the parts last year when it was allowed....it wouldn’t be a scandal for Merc to have sold them to RP at all.

Wait until you own property.

He called BLM - literally a movement that began as hope that, just maybe, America could assign the same value to Black Lives as they do white ones - a domestic terrorist organization.

I know it sounds weird, but the landing those rockets, as impressive as it is, is easier than full level 5 driving. It’s like trying to make three-quarter-length trousers a by-word of masculine fashion, to put it in terms you’ll understand, Gus.

Being first in abortions means being first in unwanted pregnancies. Being first in unwanted pregnancies means either a lack of proper education or a lack of reasonable availability of contraceptives. Or both.

I mean...lets play Devil’s advocate here. Is this a bad/wrong take? To an extent, we already allow this with the Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act.
