And that’s fine. Design is subjective, for the most part.

Yeah, the lines are beautiful. Smooth, with no sharp edges. I miss smooth-looking cars... everything nowadays looks like jagged origami.

The Ferrari Sergio is by far one of the prettiest Ferraris of the 2000's, but aside from a few examples built, it never went into widespread production while the 458 and 488 continued being ugly.

It’s either Swedish metal or pop punk most of the time, not much else really. Somehow after 15 years I haven’t gotten bored of it.

That’s a real bummer... I like writing on Oppo sometimes, it made me feel like a Jalopnik contributor for a little bit which was nice. I’ll miss it and all the people in it :(

Oops. I guess that shows how much attention I pay to Jaguar’s lineup lol

My problem with it is that it’s violently ugly... maybe EV’s would get more traction if they took the approach that Jaguar took with the E-pace and made it look like a normal car. This IX is somehow uglier than that abomination of the M3/M4.

I like this version of an Audi more... RWD with proper weight distribution? Sure. Having worked on and driven numerous Audis, I have no love for those nose-heavy pigs.

Harbor Freight for life. I make a living with my Harbor Freight tools, as it’s all I use at my shop. Generally their tools hold up pretty well to daily abuse, and on the rare occasion that something breaks the warranty covers it.

Engines with plastic timing chain guides are what pays the bills at my BMW shop... I do 1-2 M62tu chain guide jobs every single month, and I’ve gotten really good at em. Most shops in my area (Phoenix) are either unwilling to tackle the job or want $8k to do it.

Absolutely repugnant. It makes the E65 7-series look like a goddamn masterpiece in comparison.

In this article, David Tracy discovers that there is more to life than derelect American cars. Wait til you drive some old BMW’s, that’ll blow your mind!

Fixing poor build quality and panel gaps on a brand new vehicle? Now that’s a Soviet experience... my grandparents had to fix their brand new Ladas when they bought them, that was considered normal back then.

Even though the interior is a bit odd, I love the choices of materials. Give me more leather and wood in car interiors, fuck all that carbon fiber alcantara shiny black plastic BS.

I mean, most pools have a deep end that’s at least 5 feet deep or more... if she’s below 5' that’ll make any pool look stupid deep in comparison. It’s the same reason that male pornstars are often paired with small women, the size difference makes certain assets look... bigger.

“Things are a bit tricky here in Germany. Getting parts for my American minivan isn’t easy.”

That’s the best generation of Camry, with the best engine and best transmission. You’d be stupid not to buy it at that price.

Eh, I run a BMW shop using nothing but Harbor Freight tools, and I haven’t had any issues. Most of their stuff works well and I never feel like I’m held back by my tools. Know what I *don’t* have? A tool truck payment every month. That’s a nice feeling.

Man, I forget that in some vehicles you actually need to be strategic when going up mountains. I’m used to just hopping in an old BMW or Range Rover and just going straight up a mountain at redline with the AC on full blast.

That does look better, but I still greatly prefer the pop-up headlights. Cars from the 80's just look best with pop-up headlights.
