Driving a Jeep trail in West Virginia - in a Mazdaspeed 6 - ranks among the most fun things I’ve ever done in any vehicle. The few bigger obstacles really tore up my lower bumper and undertray but it was well worth it to slide around in the dirt and gravel for a couple hours

Why does this ~$40k car cost so much more than $40k?

Stricter enforcement of actual work zones would be great, but only under the right conditions

I bought my first BMW, an LCI F10, in 2016. I love the car but it will also be my last BMW if current trends continue

Don’t get caught.

Looks like I’m keeping my F10

1) Correct. I believe this car, like many in the current market, is outrageously overpriced regardless of the transmission

That’s actually a pretty impressive replica. Just too bad it’s an automatic

Since we’re just throwing out terrible ideas for Monaco:

You are correct. Numbers like this are often the result of using multiple “up to” or “as many as” type values in a single calculation

I was 13. My grandma had just died. My parents were cleaning out her house and asked my older cousin to get me out of the way. We ended up being too late for our original plans, so he took me out to some country roads in the middle of nowhere and taught me how to drive - in his 4th gen Z28, which had the 6 speed…

There are certainly flaws with the Z8. It’s also basically an E39 M5 drivetrain in a smaller, lighter package that you’re not driving every day, so those flaws get written off as quirks

Much better design than most of the junk BMW has been producing recently

I still find it hilarious that Lexus ran a commercial for the LC500 highlighting:

+1... Seat up for takeoff, landing, and food service. Any other time is fair game

That depends on where you look

“118 lb-ft” is not power. Also, if BMW underrates their motorcycles as much as the cars then that 116 is probably more like 134

The cargo space of a sedan with the driving dynamics and efficiency of an SUV.. Literally the last thing an enthusiast should buy

The Boxster is a conventional convertible with power top. Spyder is a different body style with a basic manual top and design focused around top-down driving
