So uhh, how would they implement this? My BMW is almost 30 years old and is OBDI, with not even a hint of Canbus. It’s got a cable throttle, no stability control, and it doesn’t even have ABS. Even in more modern cars it seems like a logistical nightmare to implement.

These weather-related disasters are starting to sound an awful lot like the ones from The Day After Tomorrow, and I really don’t like that.

Exactly. That and it seems like we as the consumers are forced to do 100% of the “saving the environment” while corporations and shipping giants still get to pollute freely.

It does, but then I drive it harder, so the mpg ends up being roughly the same... I log every single fuel-up to calculate my mpg.

“That’s because they aren’t always driven in 100+ degree weather”

This article is phrased so negatively... so there’s a country that’s already using an alternative fuel that’s more emissions-friendly than gasoline, why are you mad at them for not wanting to go all-in on EV’s? How much is Tesla paying y’all?

As somebody that’s had the misfortune of working on one of those things, I say good riddance. You have to pull the intake manifolds to do spark plugs/ignition coils, the vacuum system sits on top of the transmission bellhousing and requires an engine drop if something goes wrong there, need I say more?

Absolutely ND. Convertibles are a travesty, and performance convertibles are an oxymoron, especially when they’re based on a coupe and just have the roof cut off. The amount of extra structural bracing added still doesn’t compensate for the lack of rigidity, and it’s also extra weight. The E30 M3 is already a rattly…

Seriously. People see what this dipshit says and agree with it wholeheartedly, why? The greatest delusion in the US is that billionaires even remotely give a shit about anybody that isn’t a billionaire.

“In a move that was a first for the park, a reservation system was implemented and it did help to limit the number of people getting into the park. But it turned out to be a headache: People were showing up trying to get in and arguing that they weren’t aware they needed a reservation; others went to local businesses…

You mean to tell me the two companies still peddling giant pushrod engines aren’t meeting fuel economy standards?

Man, $15k budget for a teen’s first car? Must be nice.

I mean the E60 M5 is safe, you’ll do just fine if somebody plows into it while its on the side of the road with a blown motor.

Nope, still hate all of it. The last BMW designs that I actually liked were the E39 5-series, E38 7-series, E46 3-series, E53 X5, and Z3. Everything since then has been too big, too heavy, and too ugly.

You’d be surprised at how many Indian (that’s what I’m guessing based on the name, correct me if I’m wrong) dudes hold some pretty far-right views. I know people that work in tech in California and they say the same thing, that a lot of the Indian dudes there have a very sexist, right-wing perspective on everything.

The car I learned to drive in was a 2003 Toyota Sienna. The V6 was fast enough to get me in trouble, and it had enough room for me and my whole band at the time. That’s actually why I learned to drive, so I could go on tour, as living in NYC I really didn’t need a driver’s license otherwise. I didn’t consider myself a…

What I’m not clear about is whether these are clean-sheet new vehicles or just extremely elaborate Singer-esque Defender restomods that use some of the original components.

I suspect that Motor Trend kinda kept this on the down low and didn’t make a big statement about it because they know that a not-insignificant amount of their viewership is comprised of trashy backwoods types who would start screeching about “cancel culture” and “woke nonsense” immediately. That’s not to excuse their…

*looks at BMW* oh no!

BMW’s been disappointing me with their redesigns since 2003... the E60 5-series, E65 7-series, E63 6-series, all absolutely hideous. The E90 was passable. The early years of the F-chassis cars like the F30 and F10 were promising, as they toned down the Bangle insanity for a more conservative style that felt more like…
