I watched Harry’s run-down and came away thinking the costs weren’t as bad as what I’d been led to believe by the McLaren owner forums. I’m already used to Ferrari running costs, which are high but I can budget for them. I’m kind of obsessed with the 720 / 750, which is head and shoulders more fun to drive than any…

I’ve had a lot of 944s. This is Nice Price if the timing belt/water pump was done in the last couple of years, and if the clutch has been replaced some time in the last 30k miles. I’d also kind of expect working A/C for this price.

He’s just going to conscript Ben’s Shapiro’s sister into America’s Strategic Milk Reserve.

Trump’s largest donor and billionare bae is Elon Musk, who makes ... electric cars. So, expect the actual policy outcomes here to be things that benefit Tesla. I’d also expect that he’ll find a way to fuck over GM in particular, because he can’t stand a female CEO.

10 years ago, the Big Three were speaking with one…

The high-water mark for these fashion-brand tie-ups, IMHO, is the John Varvatos Edition Chrysler 300. That car had fancy materials at every touch point, and the overall aesthetic was significantly sexier than the regular 300.

This Fiat is only a slight step-up from the base model. What’s the cost of the Armani package?…

For those of us that are keeping an eye out for these cars, this one is NP all the way. The IRS / turbo version is the best spec they offered, and most of these cars have interiors that have been shredded by years of indifferent upkeep.

Today isn’t the day that I have cash or garage space for one of these things, but…

Yeah, the interior of this Brabus is pretty spartan compared to the best stuff from Newell, Prevost, Airstream, etc. It might actually be slower, too - those diesel pushers with a modern Cummins I6 turbodiesel have like 600 horsepower and over 1800 lb-ft of torque with a 50-60k lb weight.

I’m guessing this is for…

Look, I know that he’s just the besuited projection of the Curtis Yarvin racist/monarchist ghoulscape. BUT - he’s correct about this, and if you’d read the paper “Car Seats as Contraception” instead of just linked to it, you’d see that the 100k number is pretty much correct. If you multiply the change in 3rd-child…

Bought a Mercedes E450 and it’s got the aforementioned infuriating tech. The menus for the secondary controls are annoying. The nav system is annoying. The ADAS wheel shaking is annoying without actually making me a safer driver - it won’t, for example, keep the car in a lane by itself, even though it veers sharply…

Yeah, electronic fuel injection vs. the more problematic mechanical Spica system.

I thought the S3 and S4 versions were galvanized, but maybe I need to check that.

Hence the appeal of the late-80 / early-90s Alfa Spiders, after they went to fuel injection and galvanized steel bodies. Unfortunately, the last few of those on Bring A Trailer seem to be going for over $20k, sometimes over $30k. Not a cheap thrill anymore.

I’ve had a couple of travel trailers and have friends that are very into the #vanlife thing. With the exception of Airstreams, every trailer I’ve seen — including the ones I’ve owned — are hot garbage. Having a motorhome just creates all the problems of a badly-built house, on top of a truck of middling reliability.

The funny thing about the Mach-E is that it oversteers and feels like too much power for its chassis, just like a real Mustang. It also makes funny sci-fi hot-rod noises in “Unbridled” mode. If “Mustang” means “big stupid fun,” the Mach-E is pretty on-brand.

Alfa was going to be my answer, too. Especially the 70’s GTV coupes. The sound, the steering feel, the gorgeous looks. Yes, go ahead and leak stuff on my garage floor.

Getting really tired of you deranged motherfuckers trying to paint Biden as a pedophile. He’s not, nobody has a credible case that he is, and he’s been in the public eye since the 1970s. Yes, I’ve seen all your video montages. His behavior is benign.

Is Biden old and dottering? Yeah. But Trump is *also* old and…

Hot take: This is actually a good idea. Chinese companies do not currently sell cars in the US (with the low-vol exceptions of Buick / Volvo / Polestar). So prices won’t rise due to tariff pressure. We’ll simply keep BYD / Geely / etc. out. That does reduce a theoretic future force that would reduce prices, but: IMHO,…

The dude who got shot deserved it, and the shooter seems to have a very good case for self-defense.

Kudos also to the friend who came to the victim’s defense. Takes a lotta heart to stab someone who is a lot bigger than you and already beating on someone. But it’s a pretty classic “defense of others” situation, on…

Unlabeled bottles in a *scale-up* lab? Yikes. Both the QC guy and the EH&S guy should be unhappy about that.

Yup, that.
