My last car was 31 years old, and my current car is 32 years old. My other car is 27 years old. I’m sure a lot of us weirdos skew the average car age as our cars get older...

Phoenix would be cool. Lots of wide straight streets for fast runs, combine that with our abundant mountain roads and you could have a really cool course. There actually was a Grand Prix here from 1989 to 1991, super neat.

Seems a little tone-deaf to release this in an era of $5/gallon gas and climate change, but I guess there’s enough tasteless people that’ll buy these monstrosities.

My favorite are the people who claim to be libertarians because they don’t want to call themselves the forbidden R-word (Republican) meanwhile they spout the exact same garbage that the Republicans do, but somehow pretending it’s a different political wing makes it okay?

I don’t understand that at all, but okay. Design is always subjective. To me, the IX looks hideous, along with BMW’s entire lineup at this point, whereas the Land Rover stuff looks decent, mostly due to the fact that it’s an evolution of the existing styling rather than some redesign with needless creases and an…

On one hand, I’m happy to see that Land Rover is making a car in 2022 that doesn’t look like an angry beaver crossed with amateur origami, but on the other hand, that BMW N63 V8 is known to be a complete pile of shit, so this does not bode well for long-term reliability.

Man, I’d kill (not literally, of course) for $4.32 a gallon... I’m paying $4.70 here in Phoenix on the low end. Back when I moved here from NYC in 2014, gas was pretty cheap, but nowadays, gas in NYC is somehow cheaper than in Phoenix, so strange.

A big part of that is the never-ending fight for efficiency while putting out more HP/liter than ever before. Efficiency dictates using thinner oil for less friction, while clearances are tighter than ever to get as much power as possible. Modern BMW engines run at 220ºF with 11:1 compression, turbos, and 0W20 oil,…

It’s not so much the engineering, but more so the cost-cutting enforced by the accountants. Good engines go to hell really fast when metal components are replaced with plastic.

Well based on my experience with the BMW N63 V8, I know it’ll be a turd. Those engines have a myriad of issues, including insane oil consumption, bad valve stem seals, timing chain failures, oil pump failures, and never-ending oil and coolant leaks around the turbos. BMW has tried updating the engine a few times and…

I’m glad that people in the comments section still have working eyes, because this is possibly the ugliest 7 series that BMW has ever made. There’s really no redeeming qualities to any of it... the front is a mess, the headlights are a mess, the rear looks phoned in and lazy, the wheels are absolutely hideous, and…

I mean, compared to the turds that BMW is making nowadays, it’s child’s play. I run a BMW shop in Phoenix and the E36's are some of the more reliable cars of that vintage.

Honestly if your car is burning that much oil, forget running synthetic oil. Just buy the Supertech conventional oil from Walmart, it’s like $16 for a 5-quart jug.

Beautiful 318ti you have there!

Ugh. I hate that people like the 996 now, so now I can forget the idea of owning one because we’ll never see them for sub-$10k like they once were. Can people stop “discovering” cool old cars from the 90's and 2000's already? It’s really disheartening to see every cool old car I could once afford turn into rich people…

Man, so much hype over a mediocre chicken sandwich. I’ve been super into Nashville hot chicken these days, that beats the crap out of Chick-Fil-A in terms of flavor *and* supporting small businesses that aren’t openly awful people.

Man, BMW has so many of these. The newer turbo V8's and V12's all pretty much require engine removal for anything more advanced than spark plugs.

The people who refuse to get vaccinated should be forced to do so by any means necessary, including gunpoint if necessary. Freedom is a waste of time when there are this many willfully ignorant people in the country. If we had 100% vaccination and harshly enforced masking requirements we could’ve left Covid behind…

The people starting the fights over the masks are the morons here, why should we bow to their stupidity? Kick them off the flights, stop em from flying, whatever. If you’re such a little shit that you can’t sit through a short domestic flight with a mask on, you shouldn’t be flying... consider driving, that way you…

Spirit and Frontier have been the unwitting enablers of several highly questionable car purchases, like buying an E39 M5 with rod knock in LA, and buying an E36 M3 on bald summer tires in Wisconsin... in January. Great airlines if you know what you’re getting into and can fit all of your belongings into a small…
