‘70s German cars. You know, the German cars that actually WERE high-quality.

Full-grain is actually becoming more and more common in cars. Nappa leather, which used to only be an option on very high-end models but has shown up on some less expensive ones, usually refers to a full grain product. Apparently some cheaper cars may have been trying passing off corrected grain leather as nappa, but…

Why would VW merge with FCA? They’d get almost nothing out of that and there’d be massive incompatibility between the two companies in terms of design, branding, manufacturing, and quality.

Maybe the most boring here.

Maybe this was true 10-15 years ago. Any new SUV in the same price range as the Model X will have near perfect alignment of the trunk with the lights on the side.

He must have customers in the US signing a disclaimer for this because it would probably be illegal to do this without owners explicitly allowing it.

Yeah, 75 mph on skies isn’t really that impressive. I’m not even an expert downhill skier but I’ve gone over 80 multiple times.

Seems like it’s time for someone to build a dedicated race car/rally car.

Suddenly, Lamborghini’s tone changes. A softness arises. “I’m sorry for speaking to you that way.” Lamborghini utters sheepishly. “That was wrong.” Your entire mood has suddenly transformed; it’s as if the world has stopped spinning. The red mist clears from your head. You hesitate, because you know Lamborghini has a…

You have to look at the analysis of the poll. In the CNN report over 60% of those surveyed approved of his direction before the speech, so clearly a very right-leaning (if not completely right-baised) survey group.

So you’re a drug dealer...

And after that quote comes though the speakers you can crash out just like Senna did at the 1988 Monaco Grand Prix.

We could extend this to “high-end” Real Estate Agents:

I once rode in a $1000 car while wearing a $1500 suit. Made me feel a bit stupid honestly.

The photo is from McLaren and attained through Bloomberg; not sourced by Jalopnik. No reason to watermark.

I saw a Porsche 550 Spyder driving around once and judging by the area it’s possible that it wasn’t a replica.

Modern cars don’t have their performance greatly increase after break in because the engine/drivetrain parts are made with tight tolerances from the factory. In terms of quantifiable qualities, there may be a slight difference in highway mpg after break in (1-2 mpg at the very most) but not any noticeable difference…
