People are going to look back aghast in eighty years that such stupid, pointless vehicles existed. Anybody who buys one should be ashamed of themselves and should be openly mocked in public for their excess wealth combined with poor decision making.

It’s me again. The XK guy.

Just got an ‘07 XK convertible. Nothing defies inflated used car prices like “An old Jag”.

Dustin’ off the ole’ Kinja account to say welcome Khalisa and to brag about knowing her.

Hunter Gathers’ Spy-gizmo equipped Jensen Interceptor from “The family that Slays Together” needs to be on this list.

So $5k+ more than a Golf R and $7k more than a Type-R for a vehicle slower (Than the Type R), less convenient, and less reliable from a brand with a smaller service network and notably terrible resale value. This is going to be a HARD sell Mini.

This whole Tesla autonomous driving thing remind me a lot of the old Nuclear Fusion joke.

I kinda dig the three-pedal RS version of these. Stumbled upon one fully blacked out at a dealer and it was handsome-ish.

S Cargo you say?

Wilmington Port pro-tip: If the world is open again (problematic) stop by Winnies:

Counterpoint: Microfiber towels are an artificial fiber that sheds an insane amount of microplastics into the watershed. I’ll stick with terrycloth and animal based chamois thank you very much. 

Not to sound like Clarkson, but I think that’s because Lambo is the only elite car maker that still seems absorb the ridiculousness of their product. I could see one with a faux rocket thruster and laser beam. The interior is all weird angles and unnecessary switches with bright red covers. Ferrari is chasing track…

Science Fiction is already setting aside nearly all pretense of realism. Why must the only one they maintain be the “People are dicks” aspect? The answer is simple: Lazy-ass writing. I think Gene’s vision was aspirational, and whether it’s realistic or not is completely irrelevant.

Thank You! Was about to post this. Also:

Well in that case....

Challenge is the second that warranty expires these things will be hot garbage. BMW builds it’s cars for lease length lifetimes these days. Add to that the huge complexity of the i8 (Google opening it’s hood) and you’ve got as a financial timebomb of a car.

BMW’s entire business is meant to be leased cars.

Farkin i3 platform!!!! God why does nobody in the industry get it. That skateboard is small, light, mid motored, and has increasingly adequate range. Slap real tires and a roadster/targa body on top if it and you’d have a winner. It’s literally a parts bin job.

Thank god it wasn’t this guy.
