This is disappointing. Not because BMW is losing sales to Benz. Because they are losing their identity. The ultimate driving machine used to actually mean something. A X4 gran coupe M-sport whatever the hell has no idea what it wants to be. BMW seems to be answering many questions that no one asked, and this…

India has nothing on us in Australia

I find it appeeling.

Basically Velocity wants to remove the entire reason for watching Wheeler Dealers. Sorry to Mike, but aside from the trouble spots he seemed to look for, watching the shopping/haggling/sales process was boring and inconsequential. You knew the car would have problems, you knew he would deal down, and you knew they…

Longtime stalker, first time commenter!

RWD, rear-engined...what’s the problem here?

I blame Toyota for this crap. They are the ones that pioneered the idea of “Sporty Shit-box” with their Corolla S; a Corolla with some ground effects and interior accents. Now everyone has jumped on the bandwagon with commercials of drivers hooning customers around a track in boring econoboxes, wowing them at its ...…

My NA z32 was transformed by ditching the stock two piece driveshaft that weighed 34 pounds for a z1 Motorsport single piece at 13 pounds. Along with a flywheel that lost 12 pounds it made the car roar to redline with increasing fury, as opposed to the stock setup where she pulled harder down low but never gives you…

In a dealer recently while looking for a new car. Not me but the guy sitting at the table next to me;

Why would VW merge with FCA? They’d get almost nothing out of that and there’d be massive incompatibility between the two companies in terms of design, branding, manufacturing, and quality.

That’s serious towing weight you got in those crankshafts there.

Wait the back of my car says V70

I’m the same way, when I can afford it (except when it’s a tool I’ll probably only use once; then I get the cheapest one I can find from Harbor Freight). But buying higher-quality stuff generally reduces waste and conserves energy and resources; it’s good for everybody.

It gives those tools/items character. I have recently changed my motto to quality over quanity and really try to buy the nicest thing that I can afford when looking for something. I want to buy something once, not have some buy/break/buy again cycle, that just sucks. Granted there is a price point where quality turns…

Not sure why, but I always get a happy feeling inside whenever I see something that’s built to last. Old machinery made of cast iron, stringed instruments that are over a century old and still played, high-quality tools handed down through generations, stuff like that.

Why would you wait? You can track them on your phone.

“Hey Kevin? Yeah it’s Christian...doing great buddy, how about yourself? Oh that’s good, hey while I have you on the phone why is your car at Pagani?”

the guy saying Bentley is how I picture every owner saying it, damn pompous asses lol

I think it was that VTEC kicked in.

Clearly one of the tires was slightly under-inflated.
