“That’d be fairly impressive handling on empty ice”

My only question is was this a completely stock, unmodified car? Could anybody with the money buy one, find a long enough road and get the same results? On first glance the in gear acceleration in the video suggests that the gear ratios have been altered to help with top speeds. The thing that makes a Chiron (and the…

Most of the “expert” suggestions are good apart from the Genesis (too boring) and the minivan (Patrick George needs professional help). I’d add to the suggestions with a 2011 E63 AMG. 2011 is the last and best use of the legendary 6.2 V8 with all the head bolt issues that plagued earlier model years completely sorted…

Fanbois who think this fakeass idiot is the some sort of genius visionary instead of an accomplished huckster who’s made billions selling utopian vaporware. Tesla’s main product is its stock, not its cars. Its all built on a mirage of free beer next century willingly backed by gullible tech journalists and “tech…

You can blame the market for the SUVs. If the US market were more rational everybody would buy the infinitely superior wagons BMW makes. The 7er has always been a cushy luxobarge. I’ve driven the F10 5 series on track and its a much more capable car than you give it credit for. Their proper cars are still mostly RWD,…

Well said but the Panamera is nearly 1.5x the equivalent BMW or Mercedes. It is significantly more money.

Just speaking from my ownership experience. My 2004 e46 M3 admittedly had more than a few issues. My 2009 e92 M3 was pretty much flawless with one major issue handled quickly under warranty. I’ve had my 2015 f80 M4 for 3 years now and its been perfect on the reliability front. The early *35i cars with the S54 have a…

Meh, while I’d like to see them do something it isn’t particularly needed. The M cars are beastly quick and for all the hate they get, they still win most of their comparison tests against the competition. There’s a reason Chris Harris has a current gen M3 as a daily. Are they less special because they’re no longer…

Gattis is by far the coolest guy in baseball. Dude looks like he can take down a couple of buckets of beer, win a barfight and then hit a home run all in the same day.

wrong post. Deleted

Welcome to the Tech Bubble 2.0. There are loads of companies pretending to be tech companies when the reality is way more mundane. WeWork is actually a commercial real estate company, Tesla is actually a car and battery company, Hampton Creek is actually a condiment company and Juicero was actually a juice company.…

Minute Maid in Houston is much better this year. Its not hot dogs but there’s a Torchy’s tacos, a proper bar and much, much better beer that anybody with a ticket can walk to and get. I’ve watched entire games from there standing up drinking at the bar and eating tacos.

Nazi lives don’t matter.

I can’t believe I’m even typing this out but Jason Torchinsky has the best suggestion here. Buy a brat. Use the money saved to self warranty.... or a wrx engine swap if you are a raving lunatic.

I disagree with the economic left on everything from redistribution to overregulation to anticompetitive subsidies to high corporate tax rates but the one thing I do agree with them on is that a tax cut on the current personal tax rates is stupid and will do absolutely nothing for the economy beyond add to the…

Its not decided at all and even if they try to push an unreasonable one, the federal government can withdraw the waiver they have on their own rulemaking. My guess is that it will be a show “ban” like the UK and France announced. Its only a ban on all new pure ICE cars. Even the lightest amount of hybridization would…

I hope he makes a full recovery. I’m a Penguins fan and don’t really see much of him outside of a few highlight clips here and there. I knew he was great but after watching him in the playoffs last year I’ll call him the best all round hockey player on the planet.

This has to be the coolest car I’ve ever seen. What a build. I’d pay huge money to see James May review it.

As long as the players make clear this isn’t about disrespecting the soldiers and first responders but about exercising their right to free expression by protesting a president who’s completely deserving of contempt, disrespect and hate, I don’t see why this can’t actually become an effective marketing tool for the…

This has to be a joke... right?
