I’m not “trolling” anything. I commented on a guy bragging that he knew the size of his car so well he could go through parking garages much faster than his friends. If you really want to get defensive, edit your posts, and make this about my driving behavior, feel free. Admitting you’re wrong is hard for some people.
A SPOOKY GHOST!

Regardless of whether you know your vehicle’s positioning within a thousandth of an inch, unexpected things can and do happen. Good luck explaining your expert level of car control to a jury. Keep your “practice” sessions off public roads and out of garages and lots.
Nobody is a reckless driver until they wreck or cause an injury. You’re the one that felt the need to brag about how quickly you can drive through parking garages — I’m not impugning your driving either way, but there is zero reason to drive quickly in such situations.
It says that now after you edited it. You added “empty” and changed it from 35 to 25. Feel free to deny, but you know what you did.
I appreciate it too. It’s because Doug, unlike 90+% of the “writers” on the gawker network, is actually a good writer.
Cool, so you’re that guy tearing ass through a parking garage. Thanks a whole lot.
New full-size pickups are available under $30k all day long.
If you don’t like noise complaints and noise limits, don’t put your race track next to a freakin’ town.
tesla fanboys will hyperparse and attack any comment on the internet that they deem insufficiently glowing re: musk and/or tesla’s melted honda accords
I hear you. I’d consider going in for a small subscription fee, but I’m sure a pay wall would be the death of the site.
Gawker obviously sucks, but I’d rather have Jalopnik here than languishing somewhere else with no money to do cool stuff.
Yup. High mileage BMWs can be a great deal.... if the PO kept up with maintenance. No service records = CP
Car Talk has a good section on their website where their readers/listeners do just that.
Have you driven both?
It’s cool man. Keep on keepin’ on!
ahahahaha yeah man, gawker is the head of that damn ol lieberal media
Not even close. I’ve owned both.
The E39 540 is great, but it’s definitely not “almost as much car” as the M5.
