Only if they keep making rogue Zondas (pleasepleasepleasekeepmakingthemuntiliwinthelottery!!!!).

I think it’s more longevity of model designation. They could have renamed the 911 a dozen times over but chose not to, hence the production count. Corvettes, for example are around 1.7 million (based on some quick Google-math), and Mustangs are between 9-10 million.

2,925mi return drive + original flight there.

I’m completely fine with your response and I never claimed to be an F1 driver, nor Aryton Senna. But there is nothing particular about a pro driver or Senna (or any of the drivers who helped Lauda) that means they should have helped where normal track day participants shouldn’t.

To quote an unrelated article from today, instead of “‘What will happen to me if I stopped to help this person?’ [ask] ‘What will happen to this person if I don’t stop to help?’”

Ken, this is the best series of posts on Jalopnik to date. Better than the E30 Mexico rally car, better than the low mileage journey by Torch and whoever. These three posts that you’ve done are the best. Please, please keep it up.

I’d say you have the wrong BMW leather then. Prior to my current S60, I had two BMWs with nice soft leather. And the seats held me much better.

As a current owner/driver of an S60 (2014 T6R), my take is that the seats are very nice, but not my favorite or the best of all time. They are pretty great but lack some features that let them down (not quite enough lateral support through corners and need adjustable thigh support for longer legs).

Thank you for writing this. It made me feel better for a few moments.

It is really interesting how complex this is—and not surprising having seen ‘Back in Time’ and how much detail mattered to Zemeckis—and Netflix shortchanges it.

No.

Just to be clear, authorization and appropriation are not the same thing.

Understood. I owned both a Z3c and a Z4MC, so I’ve spent time looking at the various production runs (NA and otherwise) at the plant. But to your point, I’m not familiar with the laws surrounding such circumstances, hence, “IANAL...”

It’s a US-made car as well. All Z3s (e36/7 and e36/8) and first gen Z4s (e85 and e86) were made in the Spartanburg plant. While IANAL, it seems reasonable to assume this could be brought back in, especially since we had both available here (engine and car).

Get on the ballot, Jason!

Much, much better than another German automaker who did NOT issue a recall for a car with engine bolts prone to back out and fail, dropping the engine on one side. Kudos to Porsche on this.

Great story, Stef!! Important information and perspective for everyone as not all of us experience what you did. Hope everything continues to heal well.
