Agreed, hopefully it’s more like the UX of V with the aesthetics of III, VC, and SA. Which is the exact opposite of what I wanted when they remastered COD4, but it seems to be how they do these so we’ll see if Rockstar got the memo.

She was on Dax Shephard’s podcast and basically, she views acting as a paycheck/job rather than the art form most actors see it as. She’s perfectly content basically punching the clock at Grey’s Anatomy and raking in money. She lives nearby the LA-based set, has a family, etc. so it’s just a 9-5 for her. Most other…

Also Spectre was the previous Bond movie, so they missed the window for a timely tie-in even if they wanted to.

Maybe there was some other issue with that car; my 911 will happily idle around in traffic when it’s in the 90s and humid with no issues. And it does have a temperature gauge so I’m able to validate that it isn’t self-destructing.

Fair. Mine is a Targa, though, so the ~2 degree improvement around my ankles doesn’t accomplish too much.

They’re fantastically reliable and simple; air-cooled VWs and Porsche engines are easily good for hundreds of thousands of miles. As others have mentioned though, they aren’t particularly “clean” engines, and they struggle to heat even the small cabin of a 911. 

There seems to be some variance, but most tests have the Giulia’s 0-60 at around the 5 seconds flat mark.

Whaat? Tellurides are everywhere in the tri-state area. I’m not sure where you live but I’m surprised they aren’t (in The Before Times, at least) selling like hotcakes everywhere.

Obviously you’re correct, but I think that sentence only referred to Arizona... he wouldn’t have won Arizona without Maricopa, and it could have tipped the election result in that state only to Trump. Your point is well made that the sentence was poorly worded, but I don’t think the author was implying that the entire…

I mean he drives a V8 crew cab Raptor, owns a farm, and goes to that church... I love Parks and Rec, but it isn’t that much of a stretch to imagine.

Yeah, fact checking which communist party logo this whackjob is showing is really the least of our problems here. I assumed it was wrong even before I got to your (well-researched, thank you) post lol.

That must have been a fluke, that’s why I had said “depending on which test numbers you believe.” 

The regular Q50 is basically dead even with those other models 0-60, on paper, depending on which test numbers you believe. Having driven all of them (everything in the class, actually, 2 of which I owned), the Q50 feels the slowest despite having the most power. And the interior is shit. It’s embarrassing.

Based on street names this is NY; I’ve been a few times with friends for the mead and people-watching. Fun afternoon if the weather is good.

Have you driven one? Honestly this the Q50 was one of the biggest letdowns I’ve ever experienced, relative to what the on-paper numbers would have you believe.

I LOVE my Giulia (‘20 Q4 Ti Sport Carbon) and it’s been flawless for nearly a year; I’d urge you to reconsider. Even if service isn’t nearby it’s worth it for the drive.

I suppose that’s a fair critique, and it’s well taken.

I remembered it had a famous designer, I just didn’t have a chance to look earlier. Thank you for helping out!

What’s “too high?” You can easily get any number of mechanical watches in the few hundred dollar range.

I’ll grant that there are jewelry and status reasons involved at varying levels, but perhaps a better analogy to help you understand a watch guy’s perspective on mechanical watches would be a comparison of two cars. Say, a modern Taycan ($82k before options) vs. the 1973 Carrera RS linked below ($600k on BaT).
