Things sure were better back in the olden days weren’t they? #MakeRacingGreatAgain

it’s damn hard to make a compact car look good these days if you want it to be safe. Mazda still manages, but that’s about it

I’d disagree. I’m the definition of a shadetree mechanic, and I replaced the timing chains in my 2012 Q5 (2.0t) on the side of the road outside my house. I don’t have a driveway or a real space to work and I make due. Sure you need a special tool here or there, but I sorta enjoy buying odd tools (don’t judge me!) and…

High Five for good taste!

Yup. I was a political science major (almost went for history) and while nothing I learned would appear to apply to my current line of work, there is a lot of the fringe knowledge that actually forms a basis for a lot of the decisions I make in UX design, some of that is psychology, how people/societies work, etc that…

I’d argue (vehemently) that the Q7 doesn’t look at all like a minivan. It looks like a embiggened (and tallified) wagon. I submit evidence in the form of my current fleet highlighting this exact concept:

Theres a lot to be said for the benefits of having a broader breadth of knowledge in the humanities (regardless of whether or not it applies to your career), than simply getting education to set you up for a career path.

Yea because it was only available on the base model...

This. Google “2008 M3 Service Schedule” I guarantee the first hit is a link to a PDF on the BMW USA website...

“Bought my tC 15 years ago from a dealer on Long Island”

Party because “Good enough” is incredibly subjective.

Wow, the bar is pretty low for you then, huh..

Oh you sweet summer flower...

Yea, this is a cool car, but is not and never will be a 22B of [insert any model of air-cooled 911 here]. Buying one and worrying about putting miles on it is sorta missing the point. Its special... but not that special.

VAG’s big thing right now is EV. They’re pouring billions into developing their EV architectures. You think porsche footed the entire R&D bill for the Taycan themselves? I very much doubt it. And I fully expect Audi to pump out a A7-like EV variant soon based on the Taycan. Audi is currently the only VAG company with…

“Porsche has to split its resources”

“but to be fair it never seemed to cause any damage either”

I don’t know, I think it looks fine. The styling will age better than whatever “sporty” SUVs Toyota and Honda keep pumping out.

They were being very skeptical of Tesla’s flippant remarks about the attempt. Thats VEYR different than bashing. Grow a thicker skin about the companies you choose to fanboy over, good lord.

Parking regulations are great and all, but NYC is the wild west.
