*farts gently*

Happened to me on Stemmons some years back, except it was as I was changing lanes and it wasn’t one, it was like 7. Swerved back into my lane just in time not to hit one and nearly hit two that decided to cut around the other side of my car. Pretty sure they were going double my speed. Two wheels bad.

Not feeding people the publicity they seek by undertaking these stunts is far from denying that things we like do not exist. It’s the opposite. It’s making a very conscious decision that you do not support these sort of activities, in the hope that you might help prevent more from happening by refusing to throw fuel…

Agreed. The older I get, the more the balance of fascination shifts towards being uncomfortable with people going that fast on public highways.

This. This this this.

Or just haggle like a normal person. Dealers have been offering huge discounts since the summer to try and get these things off lots after the c8 launch. This just adds more on-top of it. 

This is only making official Chevy policy what anyone who is willing to walk away from a Corvette salesperson already knows. Dealer have been cutting huge amount from the sticker prices for even z06 and GS models since at least the summer.

Yeah but it is still a Corvette. The person who wants to impress people is also probably still just as attracted to a 10 year old R8 because it looks so similar to a new $160k+ R8. Which is exactly their point. An exotic, out of reach, unaffordable car that they can afford after 10 years of depreciation. It is…

Ugh. People literally say this each time a new Corvette comes out and yet cars keep depreciating the same way until they hit bottom anyways. Look back. Don’t believe me. Just look. “The C7 is SO GOOD, it’s going to wreak havoc on resalve values of ______ and ______ and _____!!!” And yet... it mostly affected the c6.

“How could there be evidence for something that hasn’t happened yet?”

Those who cannot do, consult. Those who cannot consult become analysts. It’s one step above random internet commenter like me. Take it from an idiot, this guy is an idiot.

Tap the brakes on the German resale argument. This is the most tired and optimistic forum-argument that we’ve all been hearing since the C4.

Why wait when you can already watch Norris and Sainz kick soccer balls at each others beansatchels today

Stop this. Please. These are not even concept cars. They are promotional stunts commissioned by GranTurismo to promote their game. Just stop.

Agree. So sick of these GranTurismo jerkoff cars. They are nothign other than masturabtory exercises in sketching out a car that in absolutely no way takes into account anything even semi-realistic like: actual driving dynamics, actual engine and drivetrain configurations, actual weight distribution, actual tires (…

Interesting that you’ve come around on the bangle 5. I’ve never warmed to it. It seemed like someone was yet again, offering some small styling changes slapped upon ostensibly the same 3 box design. But instead of trying to make the most beautiful shape possible, Bangle was trying to do something different and extreme…

No, this is the appropriate analogy for the Taycan and the Mustang SUV’s door handles.

I could not agree more with you. Even if it is not everyone’s visual-cup-of-tea, they should be applauded for not allowing inertia to be the guiding principle of the styling of yet another pickup. I think people will warm to it. I think it looks pretty damn good. It might lack the deft artful touch of Bertone’s work,…

I know people that drive ugly but functional Ford F150 that cost them $90k. Maybe this thing is on the right track in terms of value, if not looks.
