Worse, actually - because you’re already paying BMW $300 for the CarPlay option when you buy the car, which covers the licensing that nearly everyone else includes for free. Past that, CarPlay strictly uses your phone’s data plan - so there is zero ongoing cost for BMW.

Crackpipe, but I don’t know what else I’m going to put on my boat to go to Radwood NorCal, so I guess I’ll buy it anyway.

Being honest, on top of looking fantastic, all of that post-build stuff (the paint check, dyno, single-car enclosed trailer, etc) is worth WAY more than $5k. Is it worth $5k to me? Probably not, but the value is really there. If you want a TLX, and you want it to look better than any other TLX on the road, this is a…

That was completely and utterly bonkers. The strength and talent there.... Holy crap.

There are no wheelie bars on the car in the video, unless I’m absolutely blind, or there’s some other funky kind of wheelie bar I’m not familiar with.

Yup! British TV budgets still rarely come anywhere near a similar show in the US (hearsay, but I’m pretty sure based on fact), and back then they were positively dismal. They did anything they could to try and save a few quid.

Exactly. They even originally used that as an excuse as to why they couldn’t release a vanilla WoW.

Ok, so auto sales are experiencing a downturn not seen since the Great Depression? Has anyone looked at WHEN the Great Depression was? I’m pretty certain most people weren’t even buying cars at that point.

Granted I’m a natural skeptic, but I’m not sure I believe the 3000hp/1600lbs comment he made. With that short-wheelbase A-frame, 3000hp, and no wheelie bars out the back, I’m pretty sure the car would be doing backflips instead of fantastic burnouts.

There wasn’t a whole lot of thought in their decision to drive that in a place that involves curves, was there?

“Remarkably inexpensive” is very, very relative to a med student. A few years, yeah. Dashcam all the damn things.

Holy shit, it’s the standard cab Raptor I’ve always wanted!

Only because they call it a ‘MINI’, I reckon.

You’re thinking of the M4.

The reverse of a faux-scoop. That’s actually pretty slick! That said, I completely agree.

There’s so much irony in all of these white social justice warriors trying to tell you what you should be offended by, it’s just insane.

Apparently the author doesn’t, because what this girl did is not actually blackface.

The potential for the Forester XT is pretty tremendous, and you haven’t been able to buy a Forester with a manual for a few years now. Heck, you can’t even get one with a turbo anymore.

I hear a sequel is in the works, where you burn the books. It’s called Fahrenheit 911.
