There are two classes of three row vehicle to me, the 5+2(or 4+2) and the 7(or 8). The smaller makes sense if you have two kids. That way, if a kid's friend wants to jump in on the way home for school or something, then you have the option to shove them in. It's for emergency use like the back seats on a mustang. The…

Autopilot disengaged about 40 seconds prior to impact due to the Tesla issuing a Forward Collision Warning (FCW) chime which happened again about two seconds prior to impact.

Only Jalopnik could blame Tesla for a DRIVER driving at 130+mph. This has ZILCH to do with the car. The car did the correct thing and disengaged the self-driving when the driver was being an ass. AEB will NEVER stop a collision at those speeds. 

Exactly. Not on autopilot (for nearly a minute before the crash) and the driver’s foot was on the throttle. This is a bad driver story, not a Tesla story. The only reason we’re talking about it is because Teslas have cameras built in and they capture bad driver behavior and go viral.

Yeah, I would be looking at a 550 or 575M manual, assuming I someday feel the need to spend a home down payment on a car.

Assuming I could some day justify spending six figures on a car, it would most likely be a 550 or 575M. Both cars are breathtaking especially compared to the digital-looking modern Ferraris but are still modern enough to not feel like old cars in comparison with what is currently on the market. Several years ago, you…

A Saab 99 Turbo.

A clean, Euro-spec, 5-speed manual M635CSi E24, please. It’s rare to see them come up for sale, and usually they find their way onto Bring A Trailer (thanks for the photo), where they are purchased by insane people like me.

“We’ve got new generations of the Mercedes-BenzGLS, Mercedes GLA, Nissan Rogue and Ford Explorer, in addition to entirely new cars like the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Genesis GV80 and Ford Bronco, so a new fourth-generation Acura MDX arrives in the face of plentiful competition.”

Jeep: You don’t even know how much it cost to design and manufacture this thing. And you don’t know how much people are willing to pay for it.

Z3M Coupe is at least $20k now in my experience....

How about “Fuck Yeah! or Get Fucked!”?

Tacking an erroneous “M Sport” moniker on a car that never had one is shady and instant crack pipe. It’s a garden variety Z3 2.5 with some nice wheels. Are those wheels worth the $3000 premium over a similarly equipped 2.5 with standard wheels? No.

There was no “M Sport” Z3. The seller’s description of having the “M SPORT 2.5L ENGINE” is not historically correct.

Bob & Doug should have popped the hatch and yelled at the onlookers:

Hi Feelin! A few handy links, since I dug into the science for you:

What is this listicle BS?

Would be a much shorter article if it was about all the things that WEREN’T wrong with it.

This is a good “Friday Story”
