I definitely think that’s the case if you’re looking to buy and keep a car long-term. A huge amount of luxury buyers go with leases, so the German high cost of maintenance should be less relevant if you’re only keeping a car for like three years.

Looks okay to me.

Is Jalopnik, like, contractually obligated to attach “Holy-Grail” to every description of this engine?

Most days even with properly adjusted convex blind spot mirrors and convex rear view.
Actually looking is always better than relying on a mirror.

yeah, but then he’d get fired from Jalopnik because he lacks the David Tracy-ness. Why you trying to get David fired?

I work at a small luxury/exotic dealership and I agree. I have done several vehicle locates for customers and dealer to dealer sales are nearly impossible unless it is something very exotic. Cars/SUVs that are “run in the mill” are almost impossible to buy dealer to dealer. I must have called over 20 dealers on a…

I suspect folks in Yurrup are somewhat nicer about letting merging cars onto the highway, even if those cars aren’t quite up to speed yet. Here in the ol’ U.S. of A ... especially here in Denver, CO, people are generally asses about this and you need an over-equipped car to gain the offensive. Yes, the offensive, to…

I aspire to be ruler of all that is holy and unholy. Should I therefore drive a Koenigsegg Agera R, even though I can’t afford it?

Lol and what dealership do you manage?

Plus the cost of providing the doner car

Given the lack of editing in general that really should have been more clear. My bad.

So, the official Jalopnik position of the week is that “spinning” in South Africa is an interesting cultural phenomenon in the automotive community and “side shows” in the US are a menace that any respectable gearhead finds worthy of scorn and derision? 

I knew it wouldn’t take long for some front-running L.A. native to get all butt-hurt about my ripping the Rams and try to tell me how great L.A. really is. Bitch please.

An “Angeleno” couldn’t find their cock if it was inside an overrated In & Out Double-Double.

I lived there 8 years. I had a regular job in a show in…

Jesus Christ dude, you misread his comment and reacted way too strongly to it.

Who?

Not the kind of donuts cops want.

“That year, the race started at Ciudad Juárez, crossed into El Paso, and finished in Ciudad Cuahtémoc.“

Not impressed. Board-to-Car ratio isn’t extreme at all.
