The reason they only have 6 new cars and most are old is because their prices are absolute dogshit.

A bit of a yawn from me. Was the P1 even really that memorable? Yeah it was fast, but it’s just another hybrid hypercar and looks exactly the same as every other modern McLaren. 

He’s got a completely different appreciation for cars than Jeremy though. He was just on TST podcast and talked about how yeah he has a Ferrari and some older cars but almost never drives them, he’s more about how they look. And his real appreciation is for basic transportation which is still VERY available in Europe,…

It’s a lot more than just government regulations on emissions and fuel economy that incentivized giant cars that got people to move to bigger stuff. There’s also the demand for more technology (and requirement for increased safety tech), which drives up prices of every car. So for a lot of people if you’re going to…

It’s the real vs fake feeling which is the same everywhere else in life. Where you can technically “do” more with the digital option, but it doesn’t matter because it’s just not the same. Other examples include:

He’s not wrong though. As transportation devices yes new cars may be “better” in some ways such as safety and environmental friendliness, but reliability is always a question mark, and those things aren’t what he focuses on because that’s not what his audience focuses on, just like Road & Track doesn’t focus on how…

My favorite was the German Herr/Hair stig with the mullet from the track-day sedans episode.

My limits are as follows, especially for an enthusiast daily:

Sorry but I don’t feel the least bit sorry for her. Sure it may have been her first time in a car wash, I could believe that, but the level of ignorance is astounding to me. Today every instruction and warning possible is plastered right in front of you so you can’t sue when you do something stupid. It would have…

Dude has no idea what’s going on... RWD, meh, wants reliable low cost of ownership so no A4, 6, or 3-series but considered a goddamn 2004 SL, one of the most expensive cars to own from the era?

I hate to be one-note here, but...

I think you gotta be followed by one of the writers, my guess is one of the old ones had their account deactivated so a bunch of people went back to greys.

I’m stuck in the greys too now and have been active here for almost a decade...

Well, TECHNICALLY since Quattroporte means 4 doors, they’re right in an unintentional way. Yeah the Quattroporte is a specific model, but the Ghibli, Grecale, and Levante also could be considered Quattroporte Maseratis...

Gas powered patrol cars cost $120k because they’re outfitted for actual police duty. They spent $135k on an un-outfitted truck so they can “use” it for fun shit.

The R35 GTR wasn’t a worse car than its predecessors. Sure it’s got its issues, but I guarantee the reason people don’t like it as much that no one will admit is simply because it’s accessible. The GTR line has always been good, maybe even one of the better Japanese cars ever made, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best…

From what I can think of there’s two ways he could maaaaybe reduce auto insurance cost, one he would never do and the other would probably take a long time to show any results.

I just saw it in person this past weekend at another car show, local shop that stores a few of his cars had a bunch on display. It’s amazing in person and the dude is a serious car collector. It’s especially cool to me to see some crazy cars like this, Singers, Koenigseggs, etc. come to an owner in a small MN town and…

I just don’t get these. I’m sure they were comparably fun to drive for the price back in the day, but there’s just so much out there now that is also just as fun to drive but not a 1980s Toyota economy car base. I mean, is it really worth it to give up buying a much nicer car than this just because this one was in a…

Of course he wants out. But he used up his “wants” when he committed to massively overspending on the car and rolling in negative equity from cars he probably rolled negative equity on as well. Now his need is to suck it up and pay off the car.
