You’ve named car companies that build cars that are often nice to look at—not always but often. Chevy isn’t one of them—I understand that is an opinion. You’ve also named many car companies were nearly everything is higher end—so it is easier to understand why an “entry-level” Aston might have some similarities to a…

^^That might have actually had a chance at looking good. (F40 rear mesh, mmm...)

Yeah, and that’s why the GT40 looks like a Mustang/Focus/Fiesta rather than a brand-topping halo car, right?

If there is one thing we can hold firm to in these crazy, mixed-up times...

I think the underlying issue (or at least one of the big ones) is a lack of education that provides the ability to think critically and the knowledge of how to acquire more knowledge. It would also be great if people actually wanted to learn, but that’s pie in the sky.

Because they are awesome. Granted I’m speaking of prior generation M coupes (both E36/8 and E86 varieties) but they were hatches based on existing platforms. They didn’t sell in high volume but are amazing to drive. This would be a difference, being FWD, but if they didn’t want to ‘dilute the brand’ they shouldn’t…

I think you need more stars for this.

This isn’t for me right now, and may never be. But I realize it will be great for a lot of other people. No problem there.

It is great to care about intent when we are talking about legal implications (was it an accident or on purpose) or when you are talking about personal relationships (are you a complete jerk who I need to cut out, or did you say something hurtful by mistake).

You’re argument here is either (1) standard strawman,

At some point x, between 1 and infinity, there ceases to be a reasonable difference between x and infinity. Is there a difference? Yes. A defined, finite number is by definition different than infinity. But when that is an extremely large number is that difference significant enough to warrant discussion in an…

This is about the softest wealth brag I’ve heard on the internet, from an adult anyway. I’m glad you feel so great about being able to purchase a $65k-ish car that you need to point it out.

Unfortunately for you, you’re probably one of the best people this could have happened to because you can relay the story to everyone like you have. I don’t think you need me/us to tell you that you’re a really good writer—not to mention you don’t need any more head swelling. But like everyone else is saying, thank…

I’ve been watching F1 a little over 20yrs. That does not make me an expert or make my opinion worth anything more than anyone else’s, just giving an idea of where I’m coming from.

Please keep doing what you’re doing. There are a lot of us who like games and either already agree with what you’re saying or want to hear more (or both). In my opinion, the larger gaming community needs more public voices like yours.

Tire (and wheel) size impact price considerably as well. If they are not stock wheels, you’re over $200/tire even at Tirerack. If the place she’s at doesn’t have cheap tires—or if Phil said something like, “Don’t give her the cheap ones,” because he seems like the type—and/or add in tire shop overcharge, you’re…

Excellent article. Even if it doesn’t shock or surprise anymore to read this, it seems important to see it from every angle. Not just the movie industry, or music. But gaming, govt agencies, corporations, cops, families. As long as the behavior is pervasive, so should be the reporting. 

Given your background, please consider providing follow-on articles on this if more details emerge. I don’t really care about the Seinfeld connection--though that does make it stand out more as a story. However, the details of the possibly faked Porsche, along with it having gone through a reputable shop with proper…

As Anthony notes, the Z4MCs cannot be had for teens/low $20ks if they are in reasonable shape or with reasonable miles. I got one about 5 years ago at about the bottom of their value curve at $27k with about 65k mi. The good ones are only going to go up. With all their flaws—and there aren’t many beyond the normal…

The 2 series is nice. Will definitely be in the mix if 2+2s are needed over 2-seaters.
