‘15 FiST owner here. In LA surface street traffic I’m lucky to get the EPA city 26mpg... Usually closer to 23.

Coming from Culver, too! What a schlep... :-p

Junk in da frunk.

Am I the only one who sees it?

*hides in the bushes in anticipation of spotting a wild Torchinsky*

Obviously.

...but does every ride come with a free burnout?

So that means it’s totally set for a drive on the moon, right?

YES PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF CALIFORNIA ENACT THIS

You mean you don’t like paying strangers for mustache rides?

Absolutely. I don’t think you can really alter the definition of something so specific. If an iPhone photo has an 8 stop latitude and is tone mapped to hell, it still only has an 8 stop latitude and therefore doesn’t have a high dynamic range despite attempting to emulate the look. (side note: HDR composites don’t…

High five. The misconception of filters being responsible for HDR is just a pet peeve that I always feel the need to clear up.

It doesn’t have an IRS or an LSD, but it still handles like a champ and has *enough* power to tick all the right boxes in the unquantifiable side of motoring. Very few DD’s can put a smile on your face like this without…

Came here for this. Was not disappointed.

Number one is the Mercedes GL63 AMG. I'm obsessed with these right now, because I truly believe this is perhaps the most ultimate automobile currently on sale. Think about it: this is essentially a Chevy Suburban with a supercar engine. This is three rows of seats and 557 horsepower. This is the absolute most obscene,…

Just a few weeks ago I saw a guy in a Previa do this to a Tundra for the same reason. This was in Los Angeles, and not a crappy part of town, either.

All good. Sorry for the double post there. I realized the first one was poorly worded but couldn't delete it. There's a lot more real stuff going on in this one than you'd expect... Not as much as in Need For Speed (yeah it sucked, but their decision to not make any of the driving sequences CG is something to…
