Some people like sleepers. 

Very very fast acceleration, excellent handling, and with the AWD it’s very controllable. Some people prefer sleepers. Myself included. 

CP and not for the lack of turbo. CP for the big unknown-and the (presumably) very expensive parts and mechanic (or tools, if you’re a DIY) to make it work.

IE, you can have a full tank of diesel and still be low on engine oil. Am I understanding that? 

I mean, maybe I’m totally wrong. But oil sealed in to lubricate the engine doesn’t seem like it would be burned with the fuel during combustion. I’m really not interested enough to look it up. 

You’re confusing style with substance. This car is very deliberately about substance-not style. It also is very Japanese and appeals to someone with a very traditional Japanese mindset. So no, you don’t “get it” at all. 

Yes-but that isn’t the same oil that lubes the engine components. 

Particularly a large diesel truck getting abused in a battlefield.

I’m guessing engines in 1940 were a lot more sensitive to low oil than ours are now. Particularly big diesel truck engines getting heavy usage. 

The French army was considered the finest (land) army in the world for a couple of hundred years. WW2 was rough on a lot of armies. 

No.

This is the kind of petty charges that would influence a decision. IE, I’m shopping the big 3 Germans and maybe Lexus. The other three all have Carplay as standard-or at least as part of a package without ongoing fees. I’m likely to choose one of the others-I’d have to dramatically prefer the BMW to get over feeling…

That is remarkably petty. I assume there will be a hack available if you’re willing to do it. There are already hacks you can buy to reprogram all sorts of things for ‘ze Germans.

Lotta things to dislike Pence for-but this isn’t one of them. 

Having a cash reserve just means they made good financial decisions over the years-IE, they banked money when they had it. Teams generally operate with fairly low profits, relative to their earnings, it’s the increase in team value that makes them so appealing as an investment. 

Marry her.

Why are you commenting on a car site? 

This is the first Corvette I’ve ever liked. It looks like a Ferrari, but it’s a helluva lot cheaper and serviceable. GM did a real nice job here. 

I think you’re on to something with Rondo. Plus, he wouldn’t have to shoot the damn ball.

This...kinda makes you sound like a moron. As rich as the owners are-most can’t afford to lose millions upon millions every year on their teams. They do have limits on the cash losses they can take-and they do have limits on the amount of revenue they generate.
