People who call car enthusiasts “posers” if they’re not adhering to their purity tests are judgy and insecure, and spend too much time worrying about how other people enjoy their own cars.

I don’t know if I would go that far. I mean, what about the guy who works 60 hours a week in his cushy corporate office job and doesn’t have time to spend the 300-600 hours (easily) it takes to build a replica of his favorite classic car? He’s a poser because he either doesn’t have the time, doesn’t have the…

you can still build your own if you wish...no one is taking that away.

Your basic suv driver.

That was part of the reason ol’ Sergio was looking for a merger partner. FCA’s doing well right now because gas is cheap and people are buying Rams and Jeeps like crazy, but their small car/hybrid/electric game is nowhere near where it needs to be. As standards get more stringent and gas inevitably goes up again,…

4Runner is a capable boxy 4x4 but... it’s not quite a jeep. A Jeep Wrangler is a jeep. A G-Wagen is a jeep. This is more of an SUV. Maybe because it has redeeming qualities beyond off-road ability. At least, in my opinion.

Thank you Torch, I feel better about myself already! If failure is okay, then I'm doing great!

“Turns out Bob Lutz was right?”

How about something ridiculously classic like a Model T or something? Would that be too expensive? It surely wouldn’t depreciate.

I own one of these. 2016 3.0T Premium Plus. It’s gorgeous. Havana Black (see: brown) over a “Nougat” (see: brown) interior.

All are longitudinal in the A7.

I am so glad someone else pointed out dat ass on an A7. Every time I see one I think “Eh, an Audi” as it comes and “damnnnnn” as it goes. Something about how low the curve goes compared to most cars really brings out the highs of European 60s/70s style cues.

The Audi R8 is the new NSX. This Ohioan thing is something else.

Moose are fantastically huge creatures. The one pictured is at least 8 feet tall at the shoulder. I always thought they were slightly larger than horses, but it turns out they’re as big as goddamn semi trucks.

Elk (they’re elk on Volvo’s side of the Atlantic) are large. Males weigh about 700kg and they’re a major cause of road deaths where they live due both to the weight and size. Their legs are sufficiently long that if a car hits one the body of the animal will hit the windscreen. You really don't want that.

I’m confused by your statement. You do realize that in order for a car to be “well engineered,” massive amounts of money have to be spent. Don’t you?

Kinda looks like the stripper model............

Congratulations, Mr. Drakkon - The Boardman of the Chair, on COTD! I would like to gift you with a Bugatti which this lovely lady will deliver to you as soon as she gets her heel unstuck from the wheel.
