To what extent did the old TG hosts pander to Ferrari in order to get the company’s blessing to have its cars on the show? I assume they at least agreed to some stipulations.

Used to work for one of the senators who helped enact the Magnitsky Act (I didn’t touch it but it was the talk of the office) so I got a crash course in the power these Russian oligarchs wield. Long story short they are fucking scary and not to be challenged, so I don’t blame these cops for letting this punk go with a…

I love Volvo, and first became emotionally attached to the brand despite buying an ‘04 S60 from the Ford-owned era which can charitably be described as a perennial electrical nightmare. Volvos just have that sense of subtle luxury that you don’t get elsewhere, mixed with a bit of Scandanavian quirkiness (I5 Turbo with…

Jag-you-hour, a-loo-min-eee-um, zed, etc.

Well “Car Craft Auto Sales” is an anagram for “A Carcass Flea Tutor” so this is no surprise.

I bought a pair of the Etekcity outlets/remotes to replace my incredibly unreliable Belkin WeMo and I’ve been very pleased with it. If all you need is a simple setup (ie for lights) this is the way to go.

This is what first came to mind for me as well. It’s like Hyundai is negotiating with itself.

If I were rich and saw another rich person driving this I’d mock them relentlessly, just like how I currently mock Sentra drivers for their gaudy wings and other unnecessary AutoZone parts. Same concept, just several economic echelons of difference.

I forgot these are Saudi plutocrats we’re talking about here, with the unlimited budget to keep repurchasing new bikes every time they’re seized. Crushing them doesn’t have any cost prohibitive / deterrence effect whatsoever.

I wish DC would implement this tactic. As a result of the department’s no-chase policy, it’s a regular occurrence to see people on these things tearing up the streets (and sidewalks), putting everyone’s safety at risk. It’s not a solution by any means, and I feel like an old man suggesting it, but at least it…

I’ve been eyeing E60 M5s for a few months now. Every time I convince myself that major problems “can’t happen to me” I read something like this and am brought back to reality. So, thank you for reinforcing.

I wonder what GM executives (who aren’t involved with the ad department) think when they see this garbage for the first time on national television. What intelligent person is drawn to this?

Agreed it’s nothing amazing, but neither was “Top Gear.” As a name alone it was pretty bland (not to mention nearly identical to “Fifth Gear”), but the quality of the show is what really defined it; I suspect the same thing will happen with TGT. And as Urambo Tauro and others here point out, there is some significance…

Obama was born in a 959, not Kenya

I’ve always thought the 260/280hp of the G35 sedan/coupe was the sweet spot.

The way I often solve this is by offering to bet the person. Nothing extreme, just a wager they’ll agree to. Then you’re able to walk away with cash money while also asserting your dominance.

The epitome of what used to be cool 16 years ago. Buying this car is like designing your home in the brutalist architecture style. Though I guess there’s still demand for this gaudiness since brands like Mansory continue to live on.

I suspect this is Milton Bradley’s crude attempt at promoting their newset board game Clue: Redneck Edition.

I’m especially partial to the ‘69 MG GTS Sebring that’s over at MG
