Maybe. I’m no statistician, but I get around quite a bit. I’d say that in the larger cities of America, where I assume most of the accidents take place, the percentage of cars manufactured after 2012 or so is well into the range of the statistically significant.

That’s fair. Weather was extra shitty last year, which probably contributed. But they’ve been selling the absolute shit out of cars over the last few years, so yeah, there are lots of modern (say 2012 or later) cars on the road. The lag time could be a result of people gradually transitioning from analog to digital.

Because things like self-braking systems and lane-departure alerts make people feel like they’re not piloting a 5000 pound death machine, so they don’t treat the task with the respect it deserves.

As a recent retiree with significant experience in such matters, having to choose between Cowherd and Russo is the worst part of almost every day for me.

They should use the international Top Gears as a farm system, and their first move should be to call Rut up to the big team.

Damn dude. That’s some damn fine, if utterly pointless, investigative journalism.

+1 ill-fitting glove

They could put Wilt Chamberlain on the shirts

Yeah. Olskool has it right. Nobody was being racist here, it’s just a bad look.

Dude, I finally got the bar I was at to turn on Fox Sports 1 with 8 minutes left, and I have never felt more American than I did watching those Corvettes duke it out.

List invalid due to lack of Patriots

That password gets grit in the keyboard every time you type it in

Indeed. I drove the new 5er before I bought my V-Sport, and it was hot garbage. Really anything without an M or i at the beginning of the name isn’t going to be worth driving.

I will pledge right now that if Renault brings this to the US for under 100 grand, I’ll buy one.

It’s dumb to include the e34 and Blobzilla M5s on this list when everyone knows the e39 is waaaaay more desirable, and, frankly, way better, than both.

Strong take.

Lots of bad looks for ol’ Robby this year.

That and the e46 has the distinction of being the last ‘pure’ m3, and collectors love firsts and lasts.

I actually kind of dig the SMG, but yeah, they have that perception, so the manual is the one to have if you’re investing.
