While we do occasionally hear about a high speed chase or some fool driving over 100 on a public road, I don’t think that’s the main issue for fatality. I much more often hear about drunks crossing over lanes, or hitting a barrier and ricocheting into traffic. Just put a breathalyzer in the car to start it. Done.

Normally is - you’re paying 800 a month to lease an M3, they give you a 320...

Even if leased, no one wants to be tied up at a dealership wasting time with appointments and loaners. Half the time, the loaners aren’t anywhere near as good as your own model.

The forgiven loan amount isn’t taxable. That wouldn’t make sense. If you’re loan was large, and you’re forgiven $150,000 of it at the end...that means you need to take another loan out just to pay taxes on the extra amount.

I have a 335 too! Sport mode should be default, and in fact it becomes so with the M Performance tune.

I agree in a way - but most of these tune able setting don’t really change the character of the car all that much. The ride goes from bone-crunching to merely ok. Guess it depends on the application.

Oh I agree. But it wasn’t an “official” M car. It goes with the lineage of the Z cars.

I sorta never got the M button deal. I buy a high-performance car. I expect it to always be high-performance. Not high-performance and OH WAIT NOW UR SERIOUS BRO SUPER HIGH-PERFORMANCE.

You could count the McLaren F1 there, but that’s most certainly a special case.

@FeatherthrottleNotHair...of COURSE it’s a Z car...

I have, among others:

I hate to be mister sensible but if he’s dipping into his retirement, isn’t it time to get something practical, and perhaps new, with low running costs?

I know, I have 3 BMWs with iDrive in them. It’s just weird to see it on a Toyota.

“German guts won’t matter” - you make it sound like it’s based on a Kia Rio.

Thank you!

Agree - plus you may be somewhere where it isnt practical, like car show. P car looks great!

You wouldn’t want a lack of reflections - the car would look pasted in, but a polarizer just changes the depth of those reflections. I use it anytime I shoot a car, day or night - but yes, it has the most effect at 12 noon lighting.

Hoya is excellent.

If you had the time, you could take 2 exposures, because the polarizer only works on one part of the car at a time. Camera on tripod. Shoot car once, then turn polarizer for different reflection, and shoot again.
