As someone who writes on cars in Nashville, I love when I get AWD SUVs/crossovers. The problem here is not snow, but rain. It rains here. A lot. Taking off in the rain can lead to wheel spin quiet easily. The AWDs don’t torque steer as much and inspire more confidence.

That will definitely help. My press car list has been ToyMoCo with spurts of Kia, VW and a Mazda so I am only really used to the Toyota and/or Apple CarPlay systems.

What would be more painful: Looking at this truck more or stepping on it?

I meant Stevie Wonder but there is seemingly a case neither are. Easily one of my favorite funny conspiracy theories. https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/stevie-wonder-is-not-blind-the-evidence-1641795715

The turbo is a lot of fun.

Is the Media Center User Interface as obnoxious to you as it was to me? I had the Mazda Mazda6 press car last week and it was better but only because, unlike in the 124 Abarth, my elbow was not hitting the back of the car.

Was the ISF pre or post 2011 facelift?

There is a give and take with every car. With the ISF, you don’t have the M3 and the amazing sound/manual transmission, but you don’t really have to worry about anything breaking. I have friends with E9X M3s and they are talking about putting throttle position actuators and rod bearings and everything else in there…

I agree. I did end up with an ISF and that does pretty well. If I had 50k I’d be all over either a 997.2 911 or a GSF.

This is why I wear bow ties when going more formal.

This pretty much happened to me yesterday. I was waiting for the new Corolla w/6 speed to be delivered. Press car guy called and told me he was there but when I walked out it was a Highlander. Turns out the Corolla was double booked and got moved later in the rotation.

Ahh, you meant depressing in the fact that you want everything in this museum and none of what any company is doing today. Got it.

What about it makes you sad? 

That area is fine infrastructure wise. That area is what can best called a “low income area” (or projects). It’s been cold, but It wouldn’t surprise me if this was gang related or kid related.

My LS400 is amazingly good in the snow. That would be a nice LA car too.

Some horses are already stanced.
