You see that big tuft of dirt come flying up, that was from the ditch you can’t find.

And instead of informing your valet you think they are an idiot, they get to figure it out on their own, or not.

Damn, can’t get the breathalyzer here in the US.

You also get other features that factor into that 5 grand. The engines are close but you are not paying 5k just for an ECU tune. Unlike the Tesla battery upgrade which carries everything the 75KW trim version carries, the 328i also includes physical upgrades as well. It’s probably closer to 2k for the HP. Also if you…

I just looked these things up on CL, people are so upside down on their loans for these things. Had the bike for 6 months, but still owe $3000-$3,500 after they put 1000 down. It’s not like its just one instance, almost every used one for sale is up for more money then a new one.

In some cases it isn’t better, say if the base model had the same exact engine as a SL, but the SL had the ECU tuned to pump out 30 more HP. But its not like the Focus ST is something that software could turn a Focus SE into for a few more bucks. Its not like the SE just has a turbo turned off until you pay more.

It might not have been the same key, it is possible that it was a worn down key. I know of a few brands that once the keys get past a certain point they become bump keys more or less. I used to mess with a friend who had the same car as me, but his key did not work on mine because it was not nearly as worn down.

You do have a point there.

Sadly though the paywalling might be the future of cars.

It really helps that they are so world focused. We wouldn’t have these cars like the ST’s without Ford being so entrenched in Europe. As for the AWD ST, that would eat into the RS to much, though it probobly could come in at around 30-33k which would be cool.

One thing about detuning that car for a lower trim, the owner can’t pay the manufacturer to upgrade again in 95% of cases.

Let’s just ignore the fact most have bed liners, lets also ignore the fact that no one drops 825lbs of landscape brick they likely want to use elsewhere in the bed of their truck. Besides fucking your truck up you run the risk of blowing out your rear window when one gets away from you.

On the note of the actual…

Exactly. If its like most modern lower end turbo engines they have electric diverter valves, this likely just puts a spacer in there to dump to atmosphere instead.

Crashing your car for insurance fraud is irresponsible. Its not beyond reasoning at that point to be be honest.

It looks like she aimed for the rocks but missed.

Great, now they are going to be even more unpredictable because they don’t have someone telling them turn left, as they ignore it and veer right, then force their way back over through someones lawn to make that left.

Maybe they realized they couldn’t really afford it, so they wanted to write it off and figured they could crash it and claim not at fault.

Had my 93 bone stock civic stolen on 4th of July. They parked it in front of some construction supply yard a mile from my house and it took the company a month to report an illegally parked car in the first employee spot. If they had not built the short fence the week before I would have seen the car the next day on…

Wait, you mean the Juke is not race car enough for you? You just have to ignore the fact its banned most racing bodies, but its clearly as good as the S Chassis, now buy it! -Nissan.

Nissan used to make interesting cars like the S-Chassis line or the Maxima SE-R, now they give us shit like the Juke and call it a race car. It’s not rocket science that the dealerships hate them.
