Me: the “Q” in the name is stupid

I was given one of these as a service loaner for my ‘07 G35S. It was rear wheel drive, and they dropped the limited slip diff that my car has in favor of a brake based solution. It was... entertaining. 

Darling, you have to step up to the Autobahn to get Automatic Climate Control.

I’ve had friends who are car people and didn’t know how to drive stick I always said I would teach them, just not on my car. Maybe I should let go of that sentiment for the greater good.

This sort of shit from men needs to end. Despicable.

1st Gear:

I have to say, I wasn’t expecting half of that video.

I’m 24 years old, my first car was a manual 1997 Volkswagen Jetta GLS finished in Windsor Blue. I had to learn how to drive a manual in order to drive my car, which is an experience I’ll always remember. Aside from my car-friends I know very few people my age who can drive stick.

I had a similar incident about two months ago, except the bird bounced off my a-pillar and then broke off my driver side mirror.

This is painful to imagine.

I’m very used to 5 speed manuals, and as a result I find that I do my accelerating in 1-4 in a 6 speed, and skip straight from 4>6 as shifting into 5th and then 6th is essentially pointless.

I met someone who at the time was proud of having recently acquired and learned to drive a manual. When I rode in the car with them driving for the first time, I noticed they were revving to ~3000 RPM every time they took off from a stop, sometimes slipping the clutch all the way through first. I shed a tear, and…

I wonder if the rear differentials were designed to be substantial enough for this sustained rear bias? Time will tell, I guess.

I was fortunate enough to see the car as part of the Dream Cars exhibit at the High Museum here in Atlanta. I, for one, am glad that you are continuing the cars legacy.

My dad has the run-flat version of these on his F30 328i, I thought the Goodyears it came with were much better for that car at least.

As others have said, I lean heavily on reviews, particularly ones that have been updated as the life of the tire passes. Also, I spend a great deal of time trying to match the “temperament” of the tire to what I want to achieve out of the car. Pilot Sport AS3+ on my ‘07 G35S sedan are the best match I’ve come across…

That included their SL sports car where the 6-litre M120 all-alloy DOHC mill powered the top W129 edition, the SL600.

What if this whole escalation is the ultimate revenge from Kevin? 

I completely agree. A friend of mine scooped one up for the same deal as your friend. Deal of the century, in my opinion.

Everybody that did not say “Toyota Land Cruiser” is wrong.
