The term “trouser cough” is simply amazing.

Screens look fine in cars, they’re literally black rectangles, they don’t look any more “stupid” in a car (where I quite expect them to be) than they look in your living room, on your lap, on your wrist, or on the side of a building.

Thanks! You’re going to see plenty more in a couple days.

ah, kurt’s photos are the greatest.

My dad taught me to go to the dealer dressed down. If they treat you nicely then (which doesn’t necessarily mean saying yes ... just no gracefully without being rude) then they’ll be nice to you wearing a suit. I still do it to this day.

That weird spot between a 3 and 5 series is really the perfect size for me. try sitting in the back seat of the ATS and you will soon want something bigger, but the CTS is just more car than I need.

Now this is a tire going bald.

I do enjoy that people were paying obscene amounts of money for the 911 R to flip it, then Porsche decides to bring back the manual GT3. Classic. I wonder how many bought in at a high point and are steamed now.

No way I would spend that much money on a car that I know will be unreliable.

How many XE’s did Jaguar sell? That’s a better barometer for Guilia sales, methinks.

This is how I usually watch LM races. Racing with them on GT6 while I have the actual race up on a monitor next to me. This was the 2015 Rolex 24. 

Because glowing brake rotors at night:

It took nearly 30 years, but Lexus has finally created a car that sparks desire. Inside and out. Not only does the exterior have the refined details that finally look right, Lexus/Toyota actually paid attention to proportion—the vital Aston Martin element that sacrifices cabin space for the right wheelbase, overhangs

My girlfriend drives and 2012 XF and has had it since new. She has only out 35,000 miles on it so far, but mechanically the car has been fantastic. I have some issues with some small fit and finish problems but other than than me being OCD the car has been fantastic and I think they are a great used value. Engine

What are the repair costs like on Jaguars? Are they as bad as Land Rovers?

Proportions.

Cadillac’s head of marketing has it half right, people WILL be lured by beautiful cars and they will buy them no matter how bad they are or how unreliable (I’m looking at you Jaguar, Range Rover, Maserati). But you have to have that beautiful car in the showroom for them to actually buy. You can’t expect to sell any

My Portia is quite fast; she gets on her feet sprints from far away to beat the rest to breakfast.

And here I am still playing Forza 4 on my Xbox 360.

Am I the only one that wishes the leaf was made of some sort of either plexiglass or polycarbonate tubing that was then filled with maple syrup?
