Ray Wert - the guy who starts it all with the call to Dom “Just packed up a real money load and it’s comin’ your way. Look for Rodgers on the side of the truck. Don’t forget my share of the deal.”

Rotors are splined to the wheel and rotate. Stators are splined to a torque plate and do not rotate. Electric motor driven ballscrew actuators squeeze the entire stack together.

I had the opposite experience around Chicago area dealers. I was shopping for a used c6z or 996 GT3 and the luxury dealers were more than happy to toss me the keys and encouraged that I beat on the car. Chevrolet dealers wouldn’t let me drive it without some kind of absurd deposit, and one wouldn’t even unlock the…

I see no reason for the city to compensate her for what she owes on the car. They need to compensate her for what was lost - her financing is independent of that. That’s her own problem that she owed more on the car than it was worth.

Disappointments: proclaimed space ship does not take me to space.

What former staff member do you miss the most and what about them do you most miss?

I’ve found that the best way to avoid missing a high strung NA V8 is to make sure there’s always one in the garage

Ya as long as traffic is moving together and leaving generous space, there’s nothing sketchy about it. And I’m with you on the part about Chicago cops - I think you have to be actively trying to murder people to get their attention. They have genuinely better shit to do than pull people over just for driving over the…

Lol ya, 100 means you’re holding up the left lane in the north burbs on 294 or 94. Now that i90 is fixed, left lane is usually doing 90+. Makes for quick trips between Rockford and Chicago. Cops don’t seem to mind.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…

But does it smell as great as e85?

Maybe they were out there fighting the good fight and destroying some PDK equipped cars. Can’t seize the means of propulsion without that third pedal.

I can fit tons of shit in my X6M. I relocate frequently for work, and I’ve never found myself feeling like needed more space in the car when needing to pack short term essentials. The sloped roofline is mostly irrelevant with regard to cargo space. I would never fill the rear to the point where I can’t see through the…

Ya I’m 100% with you there.

Very few vehicles sold are actual race cars. None the less, lap times are a decent measure of how a vehicle performs. Still not a perfect indicator of street performance for “spirited driving,” but you’ll have a hard time finding a better indicator.

Close enough to not complain about them being slower for real world usage. These SUVs still drive really well.

Kristin you are missing the performance SUV wave. Stop being so damn OLD and POOR.

Because their handling isn’t ruined. They’re as fast around a lot of tracks as their sedan counterparts.

High point was that 911

The hybrid works if it’s belted up very tightly, but its functionality is dependent on that tight fit. There’s just more factors in making sure it performs. You can see in the video that it clearly didn’t, in a relatively low speeed hit none the less. It takes one look at the load path to know how sensitive it’s going…
