I agree. I know a few Tesla drivers who bought them new or nearly new. All of them, except one, came from something luxurious (Merc, Audi and BMW) and all but one have at least a couple of other cars at home. Only one moved from two cars to one Tesla, but I can see that there are a lot of buyers who have been spending…

Agreed. Porsche is brilliant at marketing and this is another example. Instantly, Taycan is THE EV to have. It is aspirational. It is from a legitimate luxury and performance brand. Those Tesla owners and buyers that have the means will buy Taycan now. Those that don’t have the means will wait until Taycan regular…

Same thing with green lights. You can only get hit by a red light runner if you move out in front of them. I don’t give a shit who honks behind me when I am not racing as soon as the light turns green. Too many times, had I sprinted off I would have gotten nailed. If I don’t have clear line of sight, I don’t go. One…

I want to say CP, but I don’t think it’s really too far off with how low the miles are. We got our ‘15 Golf TDI SE with similar mileage for just under 15k last year and the typical retail price of these TDIs at dealers have been between 12k and 16k depending on trim level and miles. Add in the fact that this is a…

This is already happening. Picture an adult size custom built KrazyKart with lasertag guns and sensors, turbo and shield buttons, and drivetrains capable of 35+mph. I’ve personally played it earlier in the development process and its legit. Once video mapping and some other elements are finished its gonna be an insane…

I mean for the Ferraris the current order makes sense, but not so much for the others.

You had the N54 engine. That engine was probably the least reliable non-S (M car) engine in recent BMW history. The N55 was MILES more reliable and is being tuned easily to nearly the 400hp mark without much issue.

Vapid?

Boring bjs are almost as bad as no bj at all.

A turbocharger can rob a classic engine’s sound, given that it’s sticking right in the middle of the exhaust. You do get new, exciting turbo sounds, but you lose some of the old-school exhaust note

It’s funny, because the Vette went from “pretty cool car that I actually have a small desire to own someday” to “really awesome car that I want to try, but have no desire to own.” I just don’t see myself being happy living without a stick. Maybe if I bought a Miata on the side and a C8 Vette I could live with it, but…

Because it’s a dick move. Saturdays are the busiest day of the week, and the day when a salesperson has the best chance of selling a car. Salespeople get paid commission, obviously. If you come in on a Saturday just to get something for free, without even being in the market at all, you’re tying up a salesperson who…

I’ve literally went in and said I had no intention of driving or buying anything, I just wanted the gift card.  They gave it to me and I went on my way.  Didn’t waste their time or put miles on their cars.

You are supposed to adjust your steering wheel so it’s pointed at your chest. Cars just come ‘pre-loaded’ with the steering wheel pointed higher for taller people.

I’d totally watch a show where you solved auto-related mysteries. Call it Encyclopedia Brown Manual Wagon.

Two minutes later: [Headslap] I coulda had a V-8!

Production version spotted in the wild

THIS... is my birthday party that no one came to.

Also their entry level interiors are garbage. A X1 or even 3 series is just awful now compared to what the other Germans (including VW!) are doing.
