CPO luxury-brand lease returns are such a huge bargain in the car world. My friend works at BMW now and to see a 3-year old 3-series with an extended warranty and low miles go for less than half of a new one, one thinks...who on earth would ever buy a new luxury car!? You have to be a financial moron to accept that…

I can see it to the extent that the 928 looks very “bundled up” and within itself, stylistically...nothing really protrudes. It is sleek and integrated. For its time, so was the 128k. But it’s a pretty tenuous connection, to be fair.

Agreed, very gutsy, great judgment in terms of making it work and not crashing, but 4 wheels off...I don’t think this should be a legal pass, and if it holds, should have an asterisk next to it.

I’ve driven Laguna Seca, granted not in a race car in a race, but I found the intensity of the corkscrew to be really overblown. If you know to watch the appropriate trees for the blind parts, it flows nicely. I found it distinctly un-terrifying...fun, but not terrifying.

That’s a load of bull...the track limit is the white line, period. The white line is on the inside edge of the curb. Stuff behind the white line is outside of the track, whether it’s paved or not.

Stewards failing to penalize past incidents is not a reason to not penalize incidents that happen in the race you’re watching.

Great pass, except the passing driver obviously cut the corner completely on the inside, and should have been required to give the place back or been penalized...so, not a LEGAL pass.

Everyday! Practically without fail!

WHEE!!! Let’s play the “how did they ever get a license?” game!

What’s really scary is that every once in awhile, I’ve had the mere act of passing someone in a legal, straightforward fashion act as if I MUST BE STOPPED and try to run me off the road! Some people have their ego seriously hung up on their driving, and it’s scary sometimes...

In defense of the guy going 80 in the full right lane, depending on how much faster that is than the people in the middle lanes, there’s an argument for getting the job done instead of lingering there and adding to the rolling roadclog...

Yeah, that’s called anticipating what’s happening in front of you and driving appropriately for the conditions. I agree that’s appropriate

When exits back up onto the highway, and you are not taking the exit, that is definitely a different scenario. The slow lane moves to the left at that point (conceptually), and all other rules of etiquette still apply.

It’s so true. Sadly, this attitude is everywhere. My neighborhood is talking about putting speed humps into a relative significant collector street, and I hate speed humps, and when I hear the advocates of speed humps? “Screw all those neighbors flying down our street, they don’t care about us, so they can deal with…

Sadly, this is the law up and down the west coast but it’s almost never enforced. Oregon and Washington in particular are states that are practically DEFINED by how many slow drivers camp out in the fast lane!

Driving in Germany on the motorway is great! Driving in Germany in towns is kinda chaotic lol. But yes, I would absolutely adore having German motorway etiquette here in the states!

I feel for you. I lived in Washington for a few years, and drivers there are just awful. It’s like their heads are encased in space fluff so they can’t have any spatial awareness of what goes on around them. The Washington rolling roadblock...slow drivers strung across all lanes, just parading everyone else below the…

The California Highway Patrol states VERY clearly: it is NOT your duty to police other peoples’ speeds. Move to the right to left faster drivers by, regardless of your speed or the other driver’s speed relative to the speed limit. The Highway Patrol polices speeders. Drivers need to enable the free flow of traffic…

Bad mergers do make the whole situation worse, it’s true. You cover a lot of ground in your comment but I think I agree with your general premise: it’s better to contain the mayhem in the right lane than to let it spill into lanes farther to the left. And if people merge properly (and people accommodate mergers…

I’ve lived in a town with interchanges a quarter mile apart, and in that case, it does make SOME more sense, though even then I make the argument that your freeway is more of an expressway, through speeds will be less, and you should still be using the right lane...and when using the right lane, you should be…
