So let me get this straight. Turkey and Russia are not at war. Turkey knows the purpose of the SU-24 was the bombing of ISIS targets. Turkey knows the aircraft was not there as an act of war against it. Shooting down the plane and killing the pilot and co-pilot was a justified action? I would have hoped to see…

So turkey is 96.5% Islamic. What was so trollish about the comment? Turkey shooting down a plane that was clearly attacking ISIS doesn’t make much sense unless you support extremists. This move doesn’t seem to make much sense to me.

Tavarish, I need some advice. I am considering buying a 2004-2006 Gallardo with the gated manual. I have been following these for 2 years now and the prices have seemed to stall if not start to creep upwards. I recall 2 years ago seeing them go for 80k, now they are coming back up.

See now you’re getting into Afroduck territory with a loop around a major city. I live near Manhattan and in my younger years I have certainly done a very quick lap or two around. I never timed it though and this being pre-9/11 world things were just a lot different back then. I wouldn’t do a loop around Manhattan…

That says a lot about the quality of the build. The guy doing the inspection probably thought it was some kind of rare extended fuel tank Benz option that he had never heard of. I mean something like that is not completely out of the realm of possibility. We all know it has never been offered, but I could see it…

I’m just here to say that I can’t believe Ed Bolian and Alex Roy are commenting on the same forum. Maybe I’m the only one that’s impressed. BTW I’ll take this moment to say that I believe both feats were very impressive and I don’t care what all the safety crazed commenters have to say. I still think its awesome and…

Mine only has 84k miles (CLS55 AMG), so maybe things are about to start going down hill, but so far the car has not been unreasonable to maintain. Was your brother getting repair work done at a dealership? Those are pretty terrible. The consumables I found are actually quite cheap, like brakes and rotors bought…

I’ve been the owner of a CLS55 AMG for the last 3 years. It has been “pretty good.” That terms means different things to different people, but as you said one can expect some expense to be incurred with older German luxury. I bought mine with about 63k miles and now it has about 84k miles. What has gone wrong: I…

When was the last time you were on an NYC subway? We have no way to confirm whether or not eyelash batting occurred, but it certainly didn’t even blip my bullshit meter.

There is either something wrong with that R8 or its a very rare nearly 30k discounted amazing bargain. The used market on V8 R8’s really starts at 65-70k. You will not regularly find one in the 40’s unless there’s something seriously wrong with it like accident history or currently still damaged. I do agree with you…

We had been discussing used cars so I wasn’t thinking in terms of warranty items. I haven’t bought a brand new car in quite a while and was lucky enough not to need any warranty service on it. As far as the TSB’s and recalls go, I’m actually that paranoid of stealerships. Yes I would not bring my car to them. I do not…

First mistake. Don’t ever take any car to the dealer. Unlike other generalized statements this one is key and universally true. Never for any reason take any car to the dealer EVER. Just don’t. Unless you want to be the moron that paid 100X more for brakes than you had to. I drive an AMG and if I wanted to be an idiot…

First things first. I’m sure Clarkson didn’t personally change the plate on that car. That means if anything the judge should be going after one of the crew on the show. In either case this is terribly stupid and we should now actually purposely mock Argentina for being petty and childish.

Even better circumstances than previously imagined. Its a JUSTIFIED V8 swapped LFA. There really is so much good in that video. I’m not sure how I feel about the Murci being RWD... The optimal situation would be a button that you push that just disengages the front diff... I guess since its a dedicated drift car it…

Well I think the concern here might be that just like the real car world the manuals are dying off. If EA didn’t bother to include it here it may not in the future either because there aren’t enough of us left out there that care. That in itself is sad. I’m dissapointed that I can’t buy a Huracan with stick or a new…

Except that needs to be modified to, “If he didn’t want to get choked by the cops he shouldn’t have resisted arrest.”

I’m going to mention that any new Ferrari like the 488, 458, 430, 360 also depreciates rather drastically. Just look up the prices on 430 and 360’s, they are downright affordable if you don’t take into account maintenance. Not all Ferrari cars except special models like the Enzo or La Ferrari retain value or…

That makes plenty of sense. I guess maybe the 302 Ford motor may have been cheaper as well especially a few years ago.

I hate to jump on the bandwagon but an LS motor would be more appropriate here. Smaller and lighter. That being said I feel it is really only 1/2 Japanese after the motor and trans are swapped to an American make. Personally I have been in an LS swapped RX-7 and it was one of the fastest most amazing cars I have been…

Nice, you put headers on yours? Did you also get a tune? I was considering a stage 1 kit as well since they are so cheap these days.
