I've conquered more intense terrain with a rented Astra one time. I don't know why they make such lame ass "demonstrations" that barely even get the truck sweating.

"Towed at owner's expense".

Believe it or not, a girl in my high school had one of these. Her grandpa bought it, died 5 years later and grandma never drove it once. A few years later, Alexa turns 16 and her grandma asks if she wants the convertible or an SUV (Envoy Denali). So this lucky brat had a low-mileage Sl55 as her first car. And this is…

Budget allocation:

Most people don't realize the S class we get in the US is actually an extended version. Europe gets a shorter version that's more appropriate for cities and individual drivers. If you typically have a chauffeur, then you buy the extended version. (at least this is how it was for the last S-class).

It doesn't matter if Ward was tripping balls on acid or the sober reincarnation of Mother Teresa herself. It doesn't matter if Stewart has super-physical control of his car or was blind as Stevie Wonder.

Before anyone else criticizes the decision to pay A&M for this barrier, it's a bit more intricate than it looks. The size, shape and most importantly the height is designed to stop a big truck. There are much dumber things the US gov't funds that you should make fun of instead.

This obviously was not a carjacking. I'm sure it was some prior bad blood (mob related?) between the guys. Here's why it's not a car jacking :

Makes sense. Cadillac can't get any full time creative types to move out to Detroit. I mean, would you?

Agreed. I kept my E39 540i/6 when I had the ability to buy a bargain e46 M. Good thing I did, because a few months later I found a low priced e39 m5 in great condition.

E39 M5. For a few reasons in no particular order:

8 months ago I bought an E39 M5 with 134k miles. At 145k, it hasn't had any issues yet.

Wrong year. 2000 had the pre-facelifted headlights, taillights, and nav system. Also a carbon buildup issue solved in '01

I second the Gold Dream. Only reposting for the chipmunk

I also find it ironic that Peugeot's only RWD car is a microcar. Even their heavy cargo vans are FWD.

I can't believe more companies aren't doing this. Yes, it does pose problems in winter climates, but I think the skinny tires and low weight only gives FWD a marginal benefit in the snow for a car this size. But having the benefit of a "frunk" along with a usuable trunk (sacrificing a few inches of floorspace, which…

Hygiene is a requirement for any job in the US, whether or not it involves customer interaction. The fact that this is only now becoming required shows just how much power unions have. They get to skirt a basic employment requirement of any industry just because they can. This is why Uber is always my go to choice.…

Thank god I'm gay. I'm never having more kids than my E39 M5 can handle. I'll also skip that whole "baby" part because I don't want car seats cutting into my ostrich skin leather seats.

What kind of shit does a GoPro have to go through to need refurbished?

I saw an M2 testing in Munich 2 weeks ago, fully camouflaged. I didn't get a picture as it was driving the other way on a side street and I couldn't grab my phone. I did get a few of the Active Tourer testing on the Autobahn (no camo). It's very fast.
