Skydiving places must use the most ragged out, shitty airplanes under the logic that everyone's already planning to jump out so no big deal if it has a failure!

I cross shopped both. Ultimately the size of the back seat and its ability to comfortably hold two child seats made the decision easy for me. The BMW couldn't acommodate a rear facing nearly as easy as a G37. The BMW dashboard that looked like it was a decade older and the less supportive (to me) seats helped.

You haven't met me, obviously. I'm as Jalop as they come, I drive a G37 and I'm far from a brodouche.

Thank you! I'm an auto enthusiast and I bought a G37S sedan and I am far from a ricer brodouche. I'm over the stigma that jalops project onto Infinitis. Mine is bone stock, I signal when changing lanes, I wasn't in a frat, I don't grind on any dance floor and I don't dress like a jackass on "Jersey Shore". In fact…

I'm gonna disagree on this. I much prefer an analog speedometer. I like watching the needle rise to get a sense of how fast I'm accelerating and I like knowing how fast I'm going relative to other speeds by virtue of needle position. I can easily tell when I'm going 80mph because the needle is straight up. It's…

Especially useful when trying to back out of a tight parking space with big vehicles on either side. Instead of trying to see approaching cars from 2/3 way back into the space you have a nifty fish-eye view from the very outside edge of the space.

Sounds like any time my wife has difficulty operating anything.

When I bought my car pre-owned it was between one with a chrome grill, foggy headlights, and illuminated doorsills and one with a color-matched grill, clear (garage kept) headlights, and non-illuminated doorsills. Outside of the 2 minutes of pondering their absence while at the dealer, I haven't thought twice about…

So true. Basic navigation and map reading are skills that every adult should possess. GPS is a handy tool but too often people rely on it and have no clue where they really are, where they're going in relation to other places, and how to change routes or get back on route if there's an issue with the GPS. This…

Glad someone posted this or I would have.

Agreed here. The built-in voice recognition in my car rarely gets used as it's s l o w due to the number of steps and pauses to listen to you. It's much faster just to tap on the touch screen.

For the record, the previous generation of subarus had DRLs but not automatic headlights.

It comes of especially quick if you cover the floor with drop cloths, spray the ceiling with a hudson sprayer (saves your hands from squeezing a spray bottle and is much faster) and use a 12" taping knife to scrape. Let everything fall onto the drop cloth then you can move fast and just dump the old stuff from the…

I'm all for push button ignition but shift buttons are terrible. They're for a car that makes no apologies for having not even a hint of driving enjoyment. Purely a plush appliance.

I think the McLaren F1 and Some lambos have protected switches although not as retro as that.

#1. The guy was a jackass.

It's an unskilled craftsman who blames his tools.

Yeah, target fixation and a lack of experience. Many experienced drivers in that situation would react by steering into the turn instinctively before even thinking about it and would only end up looking like a marginal jackass rather than hitting the curb.

Yeah, that's not really a driving situation where the traction control is going to interfere with your driving experience. He's driving down a city street in a straight line. In fact, that's a situation where you'd want everything set to "granny mode".
