I would argue that any Astons, Ferraris, and McLarens are not entry level supercars. I would suggest that an entry level supercar is a 911 Carrera. A 911 Carrera is $143,000CAD. An Artura is $237,000CAD. A Roma is $227,000CAD. A Vantage is expected to run $200,000CAD.

But what the Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren don’t have is an undefined cool. I can see three 911 Turbo S a week, the Ferrari is a fragile piece of pretension, and McLaren managed to make a boring-looking mid-engine supercar with the Artura.

So pretty. 

Yeah I agree. Carbon fibre is great but it’s ugly. Look at how pretty the Super Record groupset from the 1980s, was.

Small point of pedantry; Campagnolo doesn’t make bikes. They make bike parts. Ridiculously over-engineered, phenomenally expensive bike parts. I once had a Campagnolo groupset on a road bike in the early ‘90s. Nothing I have used since has been as smooth or as lovely to shift.

I love it when dudes are totally sober and yet completely unfazed by getting arrested. There are some real No Fucks Given vibes. 

Excellent question. The only dealer I’ve ever liked was the local Subaru dealer. There was no haggling, no bullshit, no “extra fees”, no pressure for extended warranties or add-ons at purchases.

My neighbour has a ‘22 Yukon Denali and a friend has a ‘21 Escalade. I’ve been riding in them since they were both purchased new. It’s astounding how fast they felt old and worn; and these are vehicles that are well-maintained and cared for. The Yukon has a rattle in the dash that nobody can find. The service guys at…

Ryanair: Fuck it, it’s fine. 

I live in a place that has five months of actual gross winter, and I don’t like convertibles. I’d leave the hard top up all the time so I don’t give a rat’s ass if the top lowers or not.

Hot. Garbage.

It’s funny, I refer to my Crosstrek as a “small wagon” or a hatch. I can’t call it a CUV. It is pretty great, whatever it is. 

Nice

Seriously.

Note to obsessive, weirdo fans: You. Are. Not. Owed. Anything.

This is true.

I know everyone is piling on DeGaulle. There’s a reason for that. It’s like the French decided to deliberately fuck around with tourists. The entire place is a confusing maze of tunnels and escalators.
