To Porsche

Yea..I'm sure that yuppies who purchase brand NEW Camry's have the intention to sell/trade in 10+ years. Yea right. Rather they sell/trade them within 3-5 years where there are NO reliability issues in ANY modern vehicles. For example the poster child for 'unreliable cars manufacturers' BMW covers ALL maintenance…

*Property of Super Replicas

Yea what gives? I thought all Ferrari self immolate when they wreck to protect Ferarri's image.

And not Kim Jong Un!

Toyota had a real winner of a campaign a few years ago when they could advertise that "80% of all Toyotas sold in the last 20 years are still on the road". It totally reinforced consumer biases, but it was…

This comes to mind. I would saying that removing the steering wheel and causing things which normally would not be behind the wheel to suddenly be behind the wheel would be insanely dumb, and reckless.

The correct answer is "fuck all" but they at least look purposeful.

Awesome. Just awesome.

+1 for COTD

E39 M5 Snake pit. "is that factory!?"

I'd think they'd be to prevent stuff from getting sucked in. Leaves, bugs, track debris...

My guess on the mesh covers would be that they guard the engine from taking in other bits of engine or particulates that may be flying around under the hood.
