I leave too early to see it now but I used to watch the daily, roughly 6 am arrivals for the UPS and FedEx planes on approach to Logan airport while I would walk my dog. You could hear them before you saw them and they flew over like clockwork every day.

Wasn’t there a posting on Jalopnik in the last few years with the V10 and using a Lamborghini exhaust for a even louder sound? Probably would sound awesome but the S6 V10 sounds great. A guy at my kid’s old daycare had one and it was mean sounding. Over the course of 1.5-2 years he had the S6, C63 AMG and then…

As cool as these are I am loving the new corporate cousin Q7, well, the SQ7 TDI to be exact. I was in Germany heading to the airport in a Blacklane (Uber like black car service I guess) Mercedes E350. The driver was well over the 100 kph speed limit and approaching 160 kph and then started pacing an SQ7 TDI. The…

Up until Amazon came along and expanded into the giant it is today, Auto parts stores, especially nationwide ones like Autozone, were considered the masters of logistics and supply chain management. The number of unique parts and knowing the common components to keep in stock in various regions is a huge undertaking.…

Earlier in my career, a co-worker had a Mechanical/Bio-mech Engineer Co-op who also happened to be a Patriots cheerleader.

As stated in other places, just goes to show you that auto manufacturing (or most manufacturing) is harder than engineering and manufacturing a rocket to launch from and return to a specific location on earth. Being in manufacturing, I am always interested in the process and know that the operational choreography of…

Money back into the pockets or accounts of those who earned it is good, for everyone. Individuals will spend, corporations and companies will invest in whatever they need to grow, if they want to continue to grow.

Went into Autozone to get a new battery. Guy behind the counter said they would change it quickly so they wouldn’t have to charge a core charge and I figured might as well get it over quickly rather than driving back and forth to my house. I was tired (a few minutes away from 2nd newborn, crazy job and going back to…

To be fair, the GT starts at $38,350 with the V6 so it is possible to get the power without some of the other features or build one up for slightly more with a few options you want.

I just came back from a business trip to Munich. I still laugh every time I see Ausfahrt. Considering that is every exit on the highway and many other areas, you will always have a smile on your face.

I believe the way this works is GM donated the car so that 100% of the hammer price goes to the charity. The story mentions the last part as well.

Buick Regal Sportback and the GS version shown here can be added to the list as well. Regular Sportbacks seem to be hitting dealers now.

That seems to be limited to one group, the ones who are in the US illegally.

Well, the one hopeful thing you posted here is that you are assuming he gets re-elected. Hopefully the majority of the people in this thread will wake up and realize that President Trump is actually doing a pretty good job. His sometimes un-polished delivery just needs a bit more work but it is very refreshing to have…

You still see these on the road? Just don’t see them that much in the Northeast unless it is still being used by the T near Boston or the last ones in the State Police fleet. Not many in the hands of the general public, like most anything branded from Detroit, this area is import-ville.

Want to sell more hybrids? Easy, get rid of the “hybrid” badge and just make every current N/A 4 cyl Camry or Accord a hybrid. People will buy them not knowing one way or the other and be completely fine with it.

I did a similar comparison. Was going for a used 2013 328i m sport and was looking to spend just enough premium to get it (Sep 2016) but after coming to the realization that while I was slightly crammed as a 6'5" guy it would be just a bit tighter than I wanted for the <10% of miles I put on it when my kids are in the…

A PHEV is probably a better choice for you. You get nearly all EV miles and no range anxiety for your few long trips. Also, they are fairly cheap to buy when used. Around $20k for a 2016 Limited (loaded) Sonata PHEV with low 20k miles on it is a pretty good deal. I bought mine new and it has been great. Mine, in warm…

What is Anjja? I see it on on a lot of the Euro supercars. Only time for a quick search and didn’t see anything.
