RX: Rotary Extreme

As the owner of a 14yo 3 Series with almost 200k on the clock, and manual*, with nothing worth stealing inside of it I struggle with the idea of leaving it unlocked. I just can’t, even though I know it’s actually better in my case to do so because that way no one needs to break anything to determine there’s nothing…

Can we agree to chalk it up to pre-coffee crankiness?

Why do gamer gear companies think every gamer is 16 and wants their shit to glow in every conceivable color? This has never made sense to me. I don’t want my computer case, keyboard, mouse, or especially my mouse pad, emitting any kind of light that might distract my focus.

To be fair, it was considerably more expensive because of the turbos (a specific, and very expensive maintenance for the turbos was coming due and that’s why he sold traded it in). However, I don’t think the NA version of the Panamera is nearly as much fun to drive, so maybe it isn’t worth it.

All I know is the one I was familiar with was traded because the manufacturer recommended maintenance was getting out of hand and the owner decided he’d cut his losses instead of pay for more maintenance, or skip any that would further depreciate the vehicle. He traded it in for an A8L, and then almost immediately trad…

That Hyundai dealer, Suntrup South, isn’t just obscenely jacking up the price of their Palisades, they also want $40 to just to test drive one!

Consider yourself fortunate they didn’t get petty and stick you with a Versa.

1st Gear: Hell No!

CP because at this price it smacks of a “get this hunk of unreliable shit out of my garage asap” fire sale.

The Panamera Turbo is an absolute blast to drive, but a boar to maintain. Having said that, I don’t have much experience with NA Panameras but it would make sense to me that this one may have skipped 1 too many factory recommended services and is now suffering massive depreciation as a result. Also because of this…

Me thinks the issues the seller is admitting to are more complicated than he’s making them out to be since he hasn’t fixed them and is selling the thing before he finishes it...not to mention he’s probably not disclosing all of the issues with it, either.

Neutral: Almost. Many years ago I owned a 1983 AMC Eagle that I sold to a coworker and that very weekend as he was driving it to Maine the throttle stuck and caused him to fly through a toll without paying. Thankfully for him it was the lights and sirens kind, and not the kind he would have needed to crash through…

I just don’t get the hate. Who cares? I wouldn’t leave them on mine, but I couldn’t care less if someone else leaves them on their’s. Is it really worth all the press and all the hand-wringing?

The strawman child argument is just a distraction, but let’s play. Except let’s also assume we need to compare apples to apples and not oranges. If a child was driving a Civic on a busy highway, illegally passed you on the right, and then cut you off too close striking your vehicle, would it be your fault for them…

I told you exactly what substantiated my take. My take is obvious to me because what I saw in that video was the truck driver pulling over to find out wtf just happened to his front end, and when the Civic strikes the barrier the truck driver reacts in a way that says to me he definitely wasn’t expecting it.

Is this really the hill you want to die on? Were you driving the Civic? I don’t understand your motivation for trying to force this issue.

Since in my 28 years of driving I’ve seen exactly 0 big truck drivers use their trucks as a weapon in a road rage incident, but have seen countless assholes pass big trucks on the right and cut them off in the process, I’m sticking with Civic was at fault.

How is being cut off by some moron passing you on the right an avoidable issue? You seem to to be under the impression that the truck simply drove into the Civic, but the Civic wouldn’t have ended up across the nose over to the passenger side like that if that were the case, the Civic had to have cut across the nose…

Being that that is the stupidest analogy yet, I must assume you’re intellectually stunted. My apologies for trying to speak sense to you.
