There’s not a whole lot of justice in the world today and some legit street justice will likely elude this dude for a while, so I say we take what we can get and hope this bill seriously gets in the way of him racing again, with perhaps enough teams distancing themselves from him that he never drives again. 

Really? How many times do you have to tell them to do it? THAT’S the challenge. 

The best car ever built in Florida?

What took them so long?

Eh, with the inevitable 20% discount six weeks into production, it’s really topping out at $40,000. 

Just a week or two before the election, People magazine ran a serious piece from a reporter who told the story of Trump hitting on her hard and heavy just after a then-pregnant Melania had left the room. (“You and I are going to have an affair.”--that sort of shit.) The story was about what a giant sleazebag Trump was.

3rd gear: This is nothing new. About a dozen years ago, BMW, DaimlerChrysler (ahem), and GM got into bed to develop hybrid...stuff. Each group committed a bunch of engineers and cash and they worked somewhere in the Detroit metro area.

The end result was a two-mode hybrid system for the Tahoe/Yukon that was shared with…

Typical asshole. The guy quit bathing and pissed and shit himself to get out of serving his country and year later discusses what a bad ass he would have been. I say, draft his again now, make him walk the walk of his words.

And just to make it fair, send him to Afghanistan with that stupid pseudo-cowboy getup and his…

Wanted heated seats with my Ford a couple years back. That solo option is available in Europe. In the U.S., to get heated seats, I had to get a $2,000+ infotainment system I can’t stand that has modern BMW/Audi reliability (read: probably good until the warranty runs out).

So, yeah, I overbought just to keep my ass…

Sigh....Where are the truly original automotive TV shows?

I was only good for about one episode of Top Gear a season, and once my annual Clarkson quota was fulfilled, I moved on.

It’s no shocker that he was fired for being a pompous asshole. 

Ah, god love the humble Germans.

If you don’t want to hear that shit anymore, then stop making that shit.

Objectively, yes, new cars are better, but BMW has been selling the subjective feel of their cars for more than 40 years now.

There is no question that each subsequent version car make faster lap times, is safer, more comfortable, etc. But there is a pretty clear consensus among the people who enjoy actually driving…

Even in lemons, you need to invest quite a sum for safety.

True story: I know a fellow who has a thing for the V12 W140, C140 Benzes. Has like eight or 10 of them at last count. He got one with a toast engine from a scrapyard for $900. Engine was literally scrap. He then went to his Benz dealer to have it “restored.”

The cost was over six figures, or about what the car cost…

Half-white? I think that means you get to use two hands to make it truly equivalent. 

Do you know what Chevy dealers said Geo stood for back in the day: Gross Equals Zero. The dealers were pretty much forced to take cars they couldn’t (or, at the very least, didn’t know how to) sell and then had to incentivize the shit out of them to get them off their lots.

That said, some of those cars were not bad,…

I remember the media launches of several M cars in the past decade (pre X5M/X6M, which were the first turbo M cars, first AWD M cars, first automatic-only M cars, etc.), and the BMW engineers would go on and on about the “high-RPM M concept”—in those exact words.

Good.

Maybe they can let this be a thing and we stop putting fucking ipads (and equivalents) in cars.

You missed the very best part of the green and blue stitching on the steering wheel: The stitches are parallel instead of an in X pattern. Sounds silly, but it actually feels better to the fingers.

In fact, if the car has the porcelain switchgear option, all almost all of the touch points in that car are nicer than…
