No, I don’t.

E-Class wagon, XF Sportbrake, V60? I think that’s about it, though.

I had an XF as a loaner for a couple days, and I was shocked at how much I liked driving it. And Sportbrake! Just need to shake $70k out of the old couch cushions.

I had an Evoque loaner a while back, and the “Oh you’ve put me in park I’ll just shut off completely now” thing drove me NUTS. I don’t mind auto start-stop while driving, but literally every time I parked that thing I’d put it in P and it would shut itself off just as I reached for the conveniently labelled “On/Off”…

If coupe doesn’t mean coupe anymore what do we call coupes now? Ultracoupe? Biporté? Les Piquant Automobile?

Nothing says anti-materialist like covering the back of your car in stickers for #brands

How about we stop with the stupid horsepower arms race then? If the price of >400hp is slushboxes in everything, count me out. My old S4 with 350 and a stick was plenty of juice to have some fun with.

Just finished The Sleepwalkers - it was fascinating stuff, if a little excruciatingly detailed at times. Huge eyeopener for anybody that’s still operating on the old history-as-written-by-the-victors version of events.

That was actually one of the other failed assassins - there were six or seven of them from the same “squad” of Serbian nationalists scattered along the parade route, and they all failed for various pathetic reasons. Princip shot Franz Ferdinand in front of a bunch of bystanders who nearly lynched him on the spot, and…

I’ve never once seen a bike on a Hummer, but if I ever did, you know it would be a late-90's Y-frame downhill bike. Nothing else would fit.

Not with sidewall aspect ratios that will actually fit. I can’t find actual stock tire sizes for the new Disco, but using my Disco-based RRS as an example, it came with 275/40R20's. Yes, there is a 20" KO2, but the smallest sidewall available in 20" is a 275/55. That’s over 3" taller. Same for the 20" Duratracs. If…

Is it possible to put real tires on it? LR seems determined to do away with anything but low profile wheels and tires, and I’ve yet to find AT tire options for anything over 18".

I’ve been to some stateside stations that aren’t much more than that.

He never said Audi uses a viscous system, he just pointed out that that’s a common system in other makes.

FWIW, I’ve heard various journalists on the twitter (Rukmini Callimachi, for example) say they’re amazed at how GOOD Mosul looks post liberation. The Iraqi army is learning to be more surgical and not just pulverize everything as they go, and it’s making a huge difference in how quickly people can return to these…

To add to the Estonia background; During the Cold War, the Soviets forcibly relocated large numbers of Estonians, forcing them out to make way for Russian immigration. This was a common Soviet strategy to “russify” territories like the Baltics that they wanted to convert into long-term possessions. They then use the…

I thought the new Economist cover was pretty fantastic, too

It’s almost like there needs to be some kind of central authority that could set some ground rules, like “seats must be at least this big” or “you must allow at least one checked bag per customer” so that it’s not all a race to the bottom, while allowing airlines to still set prices and other amenities as they choose.…

You can order that entire interior right out of the Kahn catalog for about 6,000 GBP.

They can forgo dues, but still get benefits. It has nothing to do with a “right to work” and everything to do with starving out the labor movement.
