Every article mentioning NFTs should be required to state that they only track a URL. They do not track the content that the URL points to, or the ownership of said URL.

You can technically call the 79-81 SA gen 1, 82-85 FB gen 2, and FC gen 3. In that case, FB wins since it was the first to get the 13B.

I was very close to buying a Quadrifoglio about a year ago and ended up with an M3 instead. The Alfa drove better and looked better, and reliability wasn’t a big concern for me since it’s a weekend car (daily the cheap two seater, road trip the big sedan), but lack of a manual just kills it for my use case.

20% for the total cost seems... really low. I spent about 80% of my yearly income on my last car, because I saved for five years before buying it.

Can’t get the V8 with a manual though.

I think I’d actually like these articles if they weren’t a slideshow. As-is, I’m not wasting my time clicking through slides and will never find out.

The MX-30 is basically an expensive golf cart that’s road legal, and that’s ok, but admittedly an extremely small market. If you want to pair an electric car for short city trips to the 7-series equivalent you already have, it’s not a bad choice.  It works because it’s downsides vs the competition are irrelevant to…

Very much depends on housing and insurance costs. If you can buy a decent house for $150k and insure a car for $600 yearly, that leaves an awful lot to spare on a six figure income.

The mechanicals on these are easy. Good paint and interior is far more important than a running engine, a new block is only about $2k. I’d be tempted if it wasn’t on the wrong side of the country.

How about some more used car content? Review a friend or reader’s five-to-fifty year old something or other. Pick an interesting used car and do a little research into it’s common problems, aftermarket support, and community. Randomly choose a price point and body style and compare the options.

You’ve got it backwards. Daily a cheap sportscar, keep the expensive performance sedan in the garage for weekends, special occasions, and long road trips.

The article pretty clearly states that they have another car in the household, you don’t need two cars for transporting stuff.

Walkable neighborhoods are only great if you aren’t picky with where you go and the climate doesn’t include extreme cold or heat. You can’t fit very many options in walking distance.

Why would you want to be limited to the half dozen businesses that are within walking distance of your apartment? The whole point of living in a city is having a lot of choices within easy reach (i.e. a short drive). If you want limited choices, move to a small town and get a house instead of an apartment.

I mean, one obvious difference is that we have speed limits. You need a passing lane on the Autobahn because some people will be going faster than others, and the same behavior follows to speed-limited roads. When everyone’s going the same speed, leaving a lane empty is wasteful and less safe (spreading traffic over…

A nice compromise would be the ability to remove the screen without bricking the car, especially for the awful floating designs.

It’s not so much that ‘screens are bad’ (they are but that’s not my point).

The interior would look so good... without that horrid (and completely unnecessary) screen taped to the right of the driver.

An interior that is not black is amazing in this day and age. So few cars offer it, especially at reasonable prices.

I tried to explain that. Difficulty by way of making the other cars faster does not work in a game with five minute races.  The difficulty has to come from other places.
