Actually, maps really aren’t a profit center for either of those companies. They are now starting to add some monetization to it, but in the grand scheme of both of those companies, the profits that they generate are incredibly small.

It's not the broadcast, the satellite feeds that come out of Pico are all in HD, if your carrier doesn't offer it in HD, that's on them, not Fox Sports.

Probably available on Fox Sports GO. They do live streaming.

No argument, that is utterly irrational. At least it isn't for the fake-GSXR Kan-o-tunas of the second gen,

I ordered mine but they still haven’t arrived. Apparently we won’t be seeing them until summer. Kinda bummed the blue and yellow didn’t make it myself.

Well, I live in Sherman Oaks. It is not at all multicultural (especially by LA standards), has as many private schools as it does public and is where most of the celebrities in LA actually live (nobody actually lives in Hollywood).

He drives a Beetle and bought an RV, did you really even need to ask that question?

I also find the SMG scorn to be odd. I personally love that transmission, but it definitely does take some getting used to, especially at lower RPMs.

Really? You can get them all day for 20k (I actually test drove one yesterday, but no way I’m gonna buy a 2006 M5 with 84k miles but I digress). If you want a well-used one that is only there to go 200mph, you can find some with salvage titles, etc that are in that 12-15k range.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I love the NSX (although I prefer the later refresh without the popup headlights). Just in terms of the actual shift, the old 355 with a gated manual was just the best shifting experience of my life.

In terms of easy to use, yeah it is a brilliant, positive, short shift. But in terms of a satisfying shift, nothing feels better than slamming a Ferrari gated manual into gear. You have to throw it in there hard but it feels SOOO good to do.

Junkyard C4 + giant shot of nitrous. You might only get 1 shot at it, but you’ll get there. You may not be alive and the 200 mph may be the speed of your ejected body, but you’ll get there. And you could probably get it done for less than 3k all-in.

You can find a well-used E60 M5 for that price nowadays, so might as well take the extra 100 factory hp before you start adding to it.

Hey, that was in Stockton Heath, my hometown (sort of). That might be the first newsworthy thing that has ever happened there.

It's funny you wrote this because I actually mentioned something similar in a comment yesterday. The problem is even worse though in my mind because having sat in and driven both a CTS and a Genesis, the Genesis is a much nicer car on the inside. The looks I'm kinda meh on, but that's the same with the Caddy anyhow.…

McLaren hasn't announced pricing yet, but the best guesstimates right now are right around $180k. The hard-top 650S starts at $265,500, which makes the 570S around 70 percent of the car for a third the price.

Lol, for most maybe, yes. My wife is so in love with the V8TT in my MB that she has requested her next car be a GLE 550 or 63 (the SUV, not the weird coupe thing). Which is good I suppose, because I wouldn't want the kids to get to school late.

It's a whatever car. I thought it would be a lot more fun than it was but it's just a solid, well-finished car that inspires almost nothing inside of you. I do prefer the Avant because it at least looks better, but the driving dynamics were very milquetoast.

Hmm, I had a 2010 A4 Avant (well the wife did) and I never got used to it. I currently have an MB and had a BMW 535i at the time and I found both of those interfaces MUCH easier to use while driving. I still content that, while not ht most beautiful, the MB design works the best IMO.

Dear god, why so many buttons that you have to look down to see? They are going the wrong direction here, they need LESS buttons, not more.
