Yes, it does exist and for a very fucking good reason. Buy a used car = YOU take all the risk. Buy a new car = manufacturer takes all the risk.

Think of the aero efficiencies gained when you draft somebody - they're way bigger than you would think. This is basically the inverse of that. Anytime you destroy the aero on a car, it's bound to lose on every facet of "speed" (corner entry/exit, corner speed, top speed, etc). Is it massive? No. But you are…
I think people do avoid wagons, but you are spot on about the volvos being underwhelming. They are in such dire need of that new XC90 and its design language i their lineup as everything they make now has been stale for 7 years already.
All good stuff. Here's the truth of it - if you can't afford a new luxury car, you probably can't afford a USED luxury car either. If you can't afford a new one, you should buy CPO; if that is also unattainable, just accept the fact you cannot afford one and wait until you can. The only reason I would buy a used…
After the D16RR, I never thought we'd see one of these again. And I really never thought Honda would ever release this bike (remember the RC211V street bike rumors that started back in the Rossi/Hayden days?). What a fantastic world we live in.
I dunno if I agree. I used to race with WSMC and Wera West and I actually raced an SV650 and a CBR600, neither of which are insane liter bikes obviously and while those are better for teaching you about corner speed, there is nothing wrong with heaping gobs of power either. Just because you can't use it all the time…
I think it has always looked fantastic. I think it is the most masculine design they've ever had, so I think that definitely adds to the appeal for many.
Fixed.
I doubt it's all that uncommon. Anybody who owns a "weekend car" or a vacation home, etc has spent those same disposable dollars. Once you get into your 30s and 40s, those dollars are a lot more plentiful, that's all. I'm by no means a wealthy aristocrat.
Uh oh. This is the problem with actually having a couple disposable bucks - it gets really hard to say no to things like this.
I drove Vince Neil's a few times and that might be the absolute worst car I've ever been behind the wheel of. I wouldn't spend 40k on that thing, let alone 6 figures.
Pretty much everyone who has ever raced a car or motorcycle realizes this. Race cars and bikes go for mere fractions of the build cost. I would be shocked if any of these sold for anywhere near this kind of money. Most race builds, no matter how professional they are, usually sell for around 25-30% of build cost at…
Haven't driven a Dinan F10, but I did rent a normal F10 M5 during SXSW last year and it was at least 50% worse than the E60 version.
I think the best part is the maintenance aspect. If you think about what truly scares people away from supercars, it's the fact you have to pull the engine every 6k miles to do insane things. If we move to an electric future with so few moving parts, it can make long-term ownership of supercars a viable option for…
Ahh, well just be glad you had it. We actually have decent coverage now on FS1 (it's basically just the motogp feed with commercials), but it took decades to get this far. And even now, there is still barely any before or after the flag coverage. Hence why I always watch on motogp.com.
Calm down, you can still watch that very clip on YouTube, just click the youtube logo in the video player above. Dorna just doesn't allow their content to be embedded (which is true for almost every major content provider).
E-types really aren't all THAT rare. They were made for quite some time and were always appreciated so they were generally well-kept.
Does semen wipe off the tailpipe quite easily?
They've been using them for a long time in auto and bike racing, but I think there are still serious reliability concerns with this system. At some point I'm sure it will become the new standard (kinda like DI these days), but for non-niche manufacturers I don't see it happening for at least another 10 years.
