We just bought a heavily used E60 545i w/ the 6-speed manual. It feels more like our E39 than I thought it would. The iDrive, though, still makes me scratch my head...

Don’t make a mistake and buy a jeep.

One of a few cars that inspired me through some rough college years. A few years later I found a low-mile manual and took it for a test drive. The light, noncommunicative steering and nonlinear power was a complete, and unpleasant surprise. I went from it into a ‘95 540i. It was over my budget, but I sprang for it…

“Why God waited nine years, I have no idea. But we’re happy.”

i’ll assume you don’t ride motorcycles.

Oh come on. I expect this kind of overprotective helcoptacommenting from the likes of the smothering, mollycoddling clueless. Not from folks who read Jalopnik first thing on a sunday morning.

Yep. Which just breeds more extremism. The current extremists say to all the impressionable people they can, “look, The west really does hate you for being muslim. What we have been saying is true.” And then new extremists are born, and the cycle continues.

Quote from my ultra conservative father in law and the most intelligent thing I’ve seen on this wave of terrorism.

Where do you see a Lamborghini Gallardo for anything near $43K? The cheapest, most-blinged-out examples of the Gallardo seem to start in the low $80K range; the F430, closer to $100K.

Those have gotta be the nicest roads anywhere in Michigan. Let’s see those robots avoid potholes, and then change a flat tire when they hit one.

Ok, so autonomous cars have proven time and again that they can drive very safely in near-ideal conditions. Let’s see what happens three months from now when Michigan gets a foot of snow and roads are poorly plowed.

well, people aren’t bears... but sure dehumanizing broad groups of people always works out well!

You’re stupid. Switzerland has no carrying laws and people are not allowed to go around with guns anyway. The only civilians in switzerland allowed to carry are people working in security related jobs and getting a concealed carry permit is almost impossible.

Now THAT scares me. If I'm lucky enough to survive the suicide bomber, pretty sure that my chances for survival decline dramatically when all the heros start shooting.

“Not bad.”
