For the life of me, I cannot understand why so many automakers insist on using CVTs. I keep reading about the issues these transmissions have and it keeps me from even wanting to own a car with a CVT.

Setting aside the wish that they’d do something original, yes, I’d say it’s a nice homage to the 365 GTB/4, weird roof shape notwithstanding.

Just a few days ago, up in Albany, some moron driving an ATV on a pedestrian path hit a student, and now she’s in the hospital in a coma with a TBI. Alexa Kropf, University at Albany student from Floral Park, in medically induced coma after hit-and-run - Newsday

So for only the price of ~7 baltimore bridges, we get a plane that will keep a dozen or so rich and powerful people alive for a few hours longer than the rest of us proles. Will they land on a bomb-proof runway outside of vault 114?

Kitsch?

Especially when Tag buys ETA movements by the truckload anyway. My wife bought me a newer “Monaco”, which is just an ETA dressed up to resemble a proper Monaco from a distance.

It’s clear this design was made by an employee on their Zbook who forgot their charger.

There is zero reason to disturb the suspension design that engineers worked on and millions were spent on development, to raise the COG and make the vehicle handle worse (and less safe) than initially designed.

It would be interesting to see if a team with Newey and Hamilton would be as dominant as Red Bull has been in recent years with Newey and Verstappen.

There’s the power struggle, but there’s also the fact that they’re giving Newey less F1 work and more hypercar work. Newey wants to stay in F1, he’s previously said he’s always wanted to work with Ferrari, and he’s previously said he’s always wanted to work with Hamilton.

100% agree (like others website mentioned). There is more than just tension between Horner and Adrian. I think the power struggle at Red Bull (not just the racing division) is what create the real tension, F1 was Mateschitz baby but half of the owner don’t see it that way. And I mean, no one would say no to Ferrari…

He might not have been the glue, but his loss certainly created a power vacuum and it appears the resulting power struggle is largely causing what’s going on.  So it could have been that Maetschitz was some magic glue, or his mere existence would have been the plug filling a spot and thus preventing power struggles.

I have to agree.  There are so many of those monstrosities running around SoCal with  a young, pony-tail wearing, stuck-up mommy who all seem to have their noses glued to the roof.

This is what I’m starting to get out of this too. Inattentive drivers are bad. Some cars are better than others at keeping drivers attentive. This seems obvious.

You’ll never get that. FSD can only be engaged on certain roads under ideal conditions whereas humans drive on all roads in all conditions. The few attempts I’ve seen to remove data where humans are driving on poor roads and in poor conditions seem to suggest humans do better.

Same here. There’s something oddly charming about the whole 50's retro kick from the early 00's, even if it produced some serious oddities like the Chevy SSR.

Totally agree.  The data is pretty useless without an apples-to-apples per mile/km comparison. 

At $20k you can’t go wrong. They’re fantastic. In New England.

I think that’s a Toyota of some kind, I just grabbed a random picture, but hoser68 summed it up pretty well.

I’ve seen them on European spec cars. I don’t know if it is legal to have them in America.
