That’s becoming more common now, at least. My Mercedes even connects the auto headlights to the auto wipers, so the headlights come on when the car detects rain.

Most modern cars turn on the headlights when the wipers are activated or when auto wipers come on. All of my cars certainly do.

I was in an Acura TLX and it actually had an ingenious solution where the headlights reset to “auto” every time the car is turned off.

Fake exhaust tips. The current Audi designs (like on the SQ5) are especially egregious. It just looks so awful.

The idea of “observation” has nothing to do with consciousness or a living being. All measurements taken are being done by machines. It is the act of the machine measuring the particle which collapses the wave form, not the human involvement at all.

I’m really thinking about getting either an LCI 135i 6 speed m sport or a 997.2 C4S 6 speed and keeping it forever.

I’m really, really tempted to get a clean LCI 135i 6-speed convertible M-sport and just keep it forever. I love the hydraulic steering and it’s just the right size.

I saw a lightly modified crosstrek with Sparco Terras a few days ago and it looked great.

The S8 is super outdated at this point though. D4 chassis came out back in 2010. New S8 is coming next year.

Everything about this looks like it could be from 2008. Interior, exterior, just seems a decade outdated.

The hood vents are cool in a close-up, but that hood bulge and the grille especially look very wrong to me.

So basically like the M3 GTS but an M5?

They could turn the new car reveals into a televised event near the end of the off-season. Just have footage/photos of all the cars come out at the same time during the event. Announce the cars in reverse championship order from the last year. There could be quite a lead up with teams putting teasers on social media…

Yes, the Fusion is sold as the Mondeo internationally.

I really do not understand why Ford is killing the Fusion. Sales were pretty great from 2011 through 2016. Sure, they dipped a little in 2017, but that’s with the Fusion needing an update and the new Camry and Accord being right on the horizon. The Fusion outsold the Escape in 2012-2016 as well.

This is actually completely rooted in physics.

Yeah, I’ve looked into that and you wont’t find a dealer who will quote you less than $5000 total for purchase and install. Absolutely ridiculous and really not worth it.

I remember they did up an S63 in the livery and put it around Spa a few years ago. I don’t think they did any weight-saving measures or modifications though. What I’m saying is that they’ve definitely thought about it.

The other car’s tire obviously went quite a bit over a paint can so when the can burst it did in two directions on either side of the wheel. It looks like that due to to the fact that it was run over by a round wheel and not squashed by a flat plate.

I know people a couple who work at companies like this. One of them is an enginner at an extremely well-funded startup and the other is a analyst/broker in a small-but-very-high-revenue division in a large corporation.
