Absolutely perfect description!

I normally like your takes Bradley but you are on your own here lol 

Hate to say it, but you are wrong.  The stock one is far from good looking, but this one is even uglier, as one would expect from Mansory

I know this site is mainly just clickbait now, but be serious for one second please. Mansory has never improved the look of a vehicle and the Purosangue is a neat design. Writing drivel like this is just going to further erode your dwindling user base. 

What did they do to that poor Mazda?

Wait...you’re saying that that abomination looks better than a stock one?

And in reverse

Twice

It looks like a Civic Type R that was dragged through every aisle of an AutoZone.

Counterpoint: No.

Sounds like a lawsuit to me, flipping off cops isn’t smart, but it’s your first amendment right to do so, whether the cop likes it or not.

I hear it has a bit of a smoky aftertaste.

Kind of a disservice to the man to gloss over Cincinnati Microwave. He started that company to build the original Escort raider detector and basically revolutionized the product. Escort was the leading radar detector for a decade before he was pushed out of the company by the board who wanted to make it cheaper…

The Valentine 1 is an elegant and straightforward piece of equipment. Robust, simple to use and effective. More things should be like it and more engineers and company owners should be like Michael Valentine.

I’ve owned both of his breakthrough products, the original Escort, and the V1.

Maybe if you live in a place with no disasters or without the potential for one, this makes sense.

Hurricane zones disagree with relying on cell phones. Just a few months ago, the entire Houston area lost power for 3-10 days, depending on the location. That included major losses in cell service and at least 1 cable provider going down as far away as Austin. AM radio still worked. Tons of people in hurricane areas…

The Center for Automotive Research concluded in 2023 that the proposed law would cost automakers an additional 3.8 billion dollars between now and 2030.

Obviously none of you have watched any apocalyptic/zombie/WW3 movie. In the worst way, that’s why we need AM radio. If there is a large regional disaster, mobile phones and tvs aren’t going to work. So, assuming it made it through the disaster, your car is where you could get information. I’ve sat through a few…

One thing is that AM’s long range could be important in some mega emergency with internet outages. In theory anyway. I’ve got no clue if the Federal government has emergency broadcasting on AM anymore. I am not advocating. Just saying.
