Speed camera tickets are better than getting pulled over by a real cop (and assessed points/insurance penalties).

Hey turbo-on-me. I can’t speak for others dislike of crossovers, but I can do my best and represent some of my own opinions. Crossovers have been largely replacing the station wagon, hatches, and sedans in most lineups. These increasingly disappearing cars have traditionally been fairly popular among enthusiasts.…

Apparently, you don’t “get the west”.  (Eyeroll)

Maybe the courts should make Glazewski wear this on a shirt as part of his punishment.  ;)

I could see that.  Bulkhead seats can be pretty bad in that way unless you get early boarding.

You think that I’m “part of the problem” because I won’t tell people what to do? You seem to also think that you’re entitled to something that you’re not.

Ok, so you misunderstand what “sense of entitlement” means (believing that it means the opposite of what it does) followed by an unwarranted assumption about my own practices. You’re batting zero for zero, my friend.

Similarly, it’s entirely possible to lower one’s expectations and realize that one is not entitled to what they think that they are.

So much this!  

She’s not entitled to overhead space at her seat - it’s on a first-come-first-serve basis on nearly every airline in the country. I would contend that she is the one acting entitled here.

It sounds an awful lot like business travel is relatively new for you. From a veteran road warrior: you are not entitled to overhead bin space above your own seat - it is considered communal space and is available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Most airlines will not reserve overhead space for any passengers…

For sure, but from the high deck of a megayacht*...bonus if it was confiscated from a Russian oligarch.

I totally agree that streets courses are bad (even Monaco).  In addition to being bad for spectators, they are generally so narrow that they don’t allow for much passing and don’t have any runoff room, so racing incidents are likely to end races for most drivers.  They’re bad for racing, bad for drivers, and bad for…

All sports cars should be manuals guy has never driven anything over 300 hp...

Most of these modern AWD systems try to minimize the use of the PTO unit to save gas.

I’ve driven some pretty bad part-time AWD systems. That said, the AWD in my Golf R is essentially part-time. It’s a 100% FWD system that uses a Haldex center differential to send up to half of the engine’s power to the rear wheels if any slip is detected (there are other circumstances where power is sent). That system…

“Sports Car” is a specific type of car. Small, lightweight, ONLY two seats, rear-wheel-drive. Preferably convertible but a convertible should definitely be available.

As practical, comfortable, and usable as a stancebro car.  Just more expensive.

Slight clarification.  When I said “all touch-screen”, I meant touch-screen-only rather than using physical buttons.  I didn’t mean that every touch-screen interface is inherently unsafe.

Spot on, IMO. If a manufacturer puts enough money and time into engineering, they can work to mask a car’s inherent weaknesses. If the Macan started life as a smaller, lighter platform, with a lower center of gravity it would be a better driving car.
