It depends on the dealer, but I’ve never had this happen anywhere but domestic dealers. I’ve bought Mercs, BMWs, Land Rovers, etc. that were all experiencing “market adjustments” well over sticker but the dealerships had (possibly self-imposed) rules against selling for over MSRP. I wouldn’t have paid it but they’ve…

Having to install and run a PS4 version of a game just to upload it so the PS5 version can download it is probably the dumbest aspect of the move from last-gen to current.  Also, being unable to batch upload in FFVII Remake was ridiculous.  You had to have both games installed and upload/download saves individually…

It should be super easy to put this in the E Wagon since the AMG GT 4-door is mechanically just a S213 E63 Wagon with a different body and rear steering hardware.  I think a 843hp/1000lb-ft hybrid E63 wagon is about the only thing that would get me out of my ‘18 E63 wagon.

The E30 M3 notoriously sat in some dealer showrooms for 1-2 years before selling at a discount.  Selling a 4-cylinder for significantly more than the 6 was a hard sell for American buyers.

All other things being equal (voltage, etc), the reduction in available surface area on the heat sink would result in higher temps internally since heat is “soaking” into the hardware and not being expelled as efficiently. Imagine you’re in a car with the windows down and the fan on (no A/C). You have all four windows…

I see a slide show, I make my browser window thin and hit refresh. Voila. Now the slideshow is a list on a single page.

The “kick sensor” for Range Rover products is not under the center of the bumper, it’s the driver’s side rear bumper radar sensor. Super easy to set off accidently, super hard to do it on purpose.

The “fun” my wife has is, at the beginning of the season, look up spoilers and watch how the producers try to misdirect and laugh at the same “you’re here for the wrong reasons”, “I can’t believe _______ is back”, etc. lines. It’s like watching a years long casting call where everyone has a role and lines to repeat ad…

It’s literally just another Aventador.  A Huracan with a V12 would have been more in line with Countach proportions.

Car & Driver just discovered that more complex mouse traps just make for smarter mice. i.e. any system can be circumvented if the driver tries hard enough. If you required a heart monitor, someone would engineer a false pulse generator. If you required a 3d scan of your face, people would 3d print copies of their…

I’ll look into them.  All of the emphasis on heat dissipation in Sony’s documentation has me curious.  The system already runs pretty hot so I’m interested to see some testing from the usual suspects.

Exactly, my wife’s dad got her the “promise ring” and the whole circus making her ashamed of the feelings she felt as a teenager and young adult. I grew up in a Christian home and have come to see almost everything related to women being about control and denying them agency. It’s deplorable and I’m ashamed of ever…

I guess I need to see how much clearance there is before buying a heatsink for my 980 pro, wish they would have just included at heatsink plate like most motherboards.

I’ll preface this by saying I lost 30lbs after buying a Tread 2 years ago, after hitting 213 (the heaviest I’ve ever been). And I bought my wife a Pelton Bike right after we got married about 5 years ago because she missed going to the gym she frequented while she was in grad school before we got married. She recently…

Wolff probably shouldn’t (at least publicly) making statements like a Verstappen DNF would put Hamilton back in the fight a week before it happens. Not only is it in bad taste, it can only come back to haunt you. And, in Hamilton’s mind, it’s a just a gamble. Have a “racing incident” with Max that results in Max not…

I find the “it’s not up for debate” crowd a little insufferable. You have the long-winning champion having some real competition for the first time in years putting him on his heels and behind in the points. He (purposefully or not) put the only person in the field in front of him in points into the wall, leading to…

I suspect it allows the weight to be spread on more surface area of your hand.  My problem using the switch in handheld is that, the button layout means most of the weight is resting on just your ring finger and pinky, with your hands “Clawing” the switch.  With the buttons being shifted to the top then more of your…

I’ve got an unopened copy of the Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition Lunchbox, at this rate I’m just going to sit on it.
