My favorite part is the Audizine forum member who proudly announced to the internet that he’d be willing to hurt his wife because of an oil change.

Beggars can’t be choosers, man. Certainly disappointing that the Eau Rouge won’t happen, but at least they’re giving us something better than a G37 with an extra badge, ugly red seats and a pathetic 15hp increase for an extra $15k.

I see where you’r coming from with this, but man did you pick the exact wrong audience for that comment. Few fun cars have ever been about “need”. Who needs a weird engine sitting on top of their rear axle? Doesn’t really make sense. Who needs 600 hp coming from three different motors of two different types? Who even…

Methinks that was intentional. Hence the “...”

“On the side, the side sill gets wider and tighter for a “sportier” appearance.”

offering a lot more perceived capability

Oh f**k yes

I don’t think Raph was saying so much that aerodynamic shapes make for ugly cars; more about how similar today’s cars all look, with aero being a among the considerations that lead to that result.

This is what I do for a living and from my point of view, this is a long way from becoming reality. It’s simply too difficult/expensive to develop any kind of device/application that can perceive and interpret all things happening with the car’s driving dynamics, road conditions and infotainment functions. And believe…

Nice to see someone finally writing an open-minded piece on this segment of car culture. What I like for my own cars is somewhere between “stanced” and purpose-oriented so naturally I have appreciation for the super technical track nerds who talk about things in fractions of percentages, as well as the crazy excess of…

Ahhh I see it now. Black things look like other black things.

They love ‘em in Northwestern Germany though. I saw more Harelys in the city of Aachen then I ever did around my suburban hometown in NJ. Weird.

Yes. Want.

Stickers. Monster Energy, DC shoes, Fox, etc... They’re played out, stupid looking and ruin what was maybe a nice looking bike. Congrats on paying money to be a shill for some over-hyped corporation that sells crappy crap.

“That guy” would be the Floridian fellow mentioned in the article who decided to take on something well above his skill level with a panicky wife in the car. And That Guy shouldn’t be allowed on this type of trail (or to participate in any kind of potentially dangerous activity for which he’s woefully unprepared). For…

Spot-on all around. I once placed an order with a CA-based “tuner” and aftermarket parts retailer (If you’ve ever heard of “Enduro Motorsports” or a guy named Ravi Shukla, you may already know how this story ends) which went south, at which point I called on the BBB for help...

I generally choose 1 of 3 different gear setups, depending on the type of trip I’m taking...

Ride my Triumph instead of driving the car to work. Have to be careful/aware of course, but in a lot of ways it’s easier to avoid the stupidity/dangerous situations and I’m always smiling when I get off the thing. Sure I smell like gas and my hair’s messed up, but I just don’t care because I got here quicker than most…

I would buy the shit out of this

We get it. But you're not creating cleaner cleaner electricity/battery production by yelling at a guy on the internet whose job is to relay interesting stuff to people drinking coffee or sitting on the toilet at work.
