Photos and video can’t focus properly with that kind of wrap. Additionally, it screws with your perception when you stare at it so you can’t quite make out the proportions.

Only at the high end. A company like Ford simply doesn’t have the facilities to do something like this, even if they wanted to (at least, at any cost to them that would be reasonable for the amount they could charge). It has to be a mark that already coach-builds most of their cars anyway, so building something…

Meticulously fabricating every single part and making a perfect replica is probably cheaper than an original at this point. It’s valued at a lot more than the sum of its parts.

Gross weight is a pretty common term. It’s just a crude measurement of what something weighs. Net weight is a measurement of the weight of the contents of a container, the weight of the container is excluded. Any decent lawyer would be able to argue this. It’s the law, semantics matter, in fact it’s the…

Not as big of a problem as you’d think for a civil claim. There is no presumption of innocence in civil court. You’d only need to provide a “preponderance of evidence” to win. Far less just to tied them up in court to leverage a settlement. In discovery, you could force them to testify, under oath, whether or not…

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE OFFICIALLY THE 1 BILLIONTH COMMENTER TO POST THE “BMW HAS LOST ITS WAY SINCE (insert year/series/model)“ TROPE! FOR YOUR PRIZE, YOU WIN A HEARTY ROLL OF THE EYES! CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN, AND THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THE SAME SENTIMENT AS 999,999,999 OTHER COMMENTERS.

Now... where’s the “Porsche…

Does this replace the 6-Series? I was under the impression that they were keeping the 6 and adding a bigger 8-Series.

I was a huge fan of old bmw’s, but they have lost their step, and arnt producing something special that people will still want 25 years from now like they used too.

I’ve been saying this since the beginning of “dieselgate”. This is the thing nobody wants to talk about: The feasibility of what these regulations actually are... It more and more seems like the standards set were impossible to achieve “by the books”. I’d love to know how many auto engineers and mechanics were…

At what point do we start to blame the regulations? When Dodge, Chevy, VW, (the list keeps growing) are all getting caught cheating, perhaps we have an issue?

When I was in college about 70% of a class of 600 students were caught cheating on a homework assignment. Why? Because the prof. was horrible, and the…

Full-lock stopping is only faster than ABS if you don’t start to skid uncontrollably. Which of course, is exactly what ABS was invented to prevent.

1). Looks like the front fender took most of the impact

Looks like they did just fine.

Yeah but if the guy had been driving a proper rwd manual 30 years old car without electronic nannies and safety features that makes people lazy and suck their soul, he would have been more attentive and would heave easily rev-matched / heel’n toe his way out of trouble.

I’m questioning how much tunnel vision is going on here. The article cites stock prices and future viability, but as stupid as investor boards are they don’t boot the guy at the top just because he isn’t kissing up to them and making them more money. Either someone somewhere is seeing something we’re not allowed to,…

It’s not about getting people to buy more Ford GT’s. It’s about getting people to buy more fusions and focuses by thinking “hey, these are made by the same company that makes that sweet super car.” Just like any halo car from a mass manufacturer.

VW had software that sensed a test and disabled the emissions controls otherwise. FCA used EPA allowed engine controls to maintain the health of the engine but did not disclose all of them. If they disclosed them all there would be no issue; but what they did not do was have software that caused the emissions controls…

Not to be the “hot take” or “to soon” guy, but if this turns out to be a terror attack, we all knew it was coming to the USA at some point.

It’s no more hideous than a brown diesel station wagon.

“It’s a colossal waste of a valuable resource”, Damn right buddy. The NYPD isn’t extracting enough cash from the populace. Send in the troopers to mob up those sweet sweet dollars.
