Ah Mexico. I totally completely utterly forgot. Si.

Good idea.

Now where exactly would the money come from?

Change name. Problem solved.

Next.

F1 in the rain is also cool, so why not NASCAR.

It’s a thing!

In the mind of the owner.

If we’re talking about that car in the first picture, the black looking sexy Panamera-but-cooler-and-less-ugly then I think Porsche did a cool thing.

Looks like a shooting brake. Sort of Ferrari FF, but better looking. More futuristic and that doesn’t look bad on an EV imho.

They’re (Volvo) actually owned by Geely aka Chinese. They’re operating pretty independent though. I’ve seen how they built a new factory in China and been to the Polestar plant before it was producing cars. The money comes from Geely, but the rest is run by the same old Europeans. Lots of Belgians and Swedish working…

Guys what you are missing is that this is simple purpose built drift car.

It’s for drifting. They often don’t have a front bumper because the (added) intercooler doesn’t fit with that, or just to have better cooling.

So ND because .. it has been raced to the max. But if you like to get into drifting then 4500 to get…

If you want safe then perhaps look at a Volvo XC60 or XC90. Hard to beat them. They also do very very well in snow. Very specific interior styling that really feels ‘Scandinavian’ and you like that, or not.

Change tires. Don’t go for the factories ones. Pick the ones YOU want. You can easily sell the factory rims and wheels. Tires and rims make such a big difference, almost more so than a ‘professional aftermarket suspension upgrade’.

TL;DR just don’t run out of gas or electrons by paying attention to them dials ‘n gauges in your car that are there to warn you for these events.

Hey I’ll tell you something funny.

I went
from 20" 295/40 (winter tires. Continentals CSC)
to 21" 295/40 (summer tires, Michelin PS4) (yeah larger wheel diameter!) to
19" 255/55 (all-terrain/AT, Pirellis AT plus) (with 20mm spacers) and
the noise of the wheels is different and so is the ride (comfort).

The 21" are…

A transmission oil/fluid cooler would be cool to have,
as well as factory standard ‘correct’ and study lifts. Add some wheels with larger sidewalls (so the wheels become larger as well) and you have a solid combo for a wagon imho.

“ I suspect the reason that the LW’s results didn’t last is that he skipped applying a to the lenses after they were polished.”

A what ?

We’ll see this all happen within 5 years from now. App that will show WHERE the charging stations are, what they cost, what connectors/cables they have or accept, if they are in use right now, maybe you can even reserve them say 5 minutes before you arrive there so you don’t drive to a spot where JUST before you…

More and more parking places are being equipped with charging stations. Those don’t have to be super super chargers, but just regular ones because it’s your parking spot (often) and you will park for 8 hours or more so a nice ‘n slow charge will do fine.

Of course we are not there yet. Roadside chargers in cities would…

And here is what someone who CAN drive and KNOWS something about cars has to say about the Yaris after driving a lap on a half wet and dry and cold Nurburgring.

Don’t need extra power. Just need a better driver if you want it to go faster.

I wonder if the people that complain about all the extra time charging will take when they do their dozen long road trips per year while they conveniently forget that when you can charge at home they NEVER have to go to a gas station during the rest of the year.

Come back home.
Plug in.
Next day drive away with a ‘full…

I really wonder what all the fuss is about seeing that drag race where the tuned one beats the other by half a car length.

Does the extra load on all engine parts justify that seemingly minor increase of power? Can you actually make good use of that power for your average cruising on a normal day?

Wouldn’t it be better…

The funny thing is that the Z8 is an old car.

And it still looks good.

Why can’t they do that with regular cars.

Most cars look so outdated after 10 years, let alone 20.

There are exceptions, but so few.
