Jismo!

Whelp. Time to outlaw cars since they make fleeing the police easier...

Here’s your Udon with pumpkin (close enough):

Many years ago I used to be a courier and let me tell you that hearts are delivered using the fastest means available including commercial flights. I only delivered a heart once, picking it up at a children’s hospital and delivering it to an airline’s office at the airport to be hand carried by a pilot, in the…

By definition, what you described is reaction, not anticipation. Meaning it happened *after* a signalling event (in your example, hard braking.) Moreover, that is at the track, not the street where the majority of us spend our time driving and events occur that we, but no car presently, can anticipate.

“It’s not the 4-speed slushbox out of an old Malibu, it’s one of the best *automatic* transmissions available.” There, fixed that for you.
It could provide the highest performance imaginable, but no automatic will anticipate what you need the way you want it. That particular kind of engagement (and fun) can only be…

Don’t believe him. The GTI is totally fun. If you can’t get purposefully and controllably sideways in a GTI, you are doing it wrong.

Acosta wasn’t just asking a hard question, he was engaging in debate. That isn’t the forum for that and regardless of who the president is, you don’t badger them that way and you don’t refuse direct requests. This action was totally justified.

Ice can help, too. Don’t know why, off hand, but ice makes the dark red go away leaving you with much less of a stain. I don’t know how well this would work on something long set in, though.

Vehicles I loved: ‘84 BMW E30 318i Coupe, ‘87 Ford Mustang 5.0 Notchback, ‘68 VW Beetle, ‘98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Eddie Bauer Ed.(I think), ‘99 BMW E36 328i Coupe, ‘00 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer Ed., ‘16 VW GTI Sport, ‘07 BMW Z4 M Coupe (current), ‘17 Ford Edge AWD (current)

That’s... a contra-rotating roundabout (it goes both ways, I think?) Oh good luck with that. I’d love to see one of these here in Texas. I’d get a lawn chain and popcorn and be perpetually entertained.

That’s got to be a 747 under there, not a Dreamliner.

So everyone is just giving a pass to the agency that erroneously, “found a trace of something on the car”??? Their error isn’t what caused the delay? I mean the car was just going to get towed, pretty much affecting no one but the car’s owner before they pulled that shit out.

One of the things you learn, if you are ever involved in union negotiations, is that the union reps, who have no actual ability to deliver, can promise the workers anything they want while the company, who actually has the ability to deliver, can promise absolutely nothing to the workers.

It’s a styling miss. Not that it is bad but it doesn’t have the character of the Z3, Z4 gen1 or 2gen or Z8. This looks like an S2000 to me and I don’t think that is good for BMW. In particular the older cars all had better more pleasing proportions to my eyes and the lines all swooped in the other direction which made…

Apparently it will have 380ish HP in the U.S.

Did these look cool back then or did they just get caché over being a Bond car? I’ve never been able to stand the rear view of these.

1) It’s not going to be a sizable impact if the vehicles are traveling in more or less the same direction at the same speed.
2) It’s not going to be a significant slow down in speed/drag, at least not right away, once the Mercedes tires have lost static friction with the road. After they pop, then things will probably…

Up until their best-by date, that is. Material choices for newer cars make so many parts become maintenance items with a lifetime of 10 years or 100K miles it seems like. Basically plastic becomes brittle. Once you cross that threshold the car becomes an unreliable money pit. Oh, and due to the interrelatedness of the…

This is disappointing. The 1st gen Z4 was muscular. This is just, meh. It’s trying too hard to incorporate the latest styling trends that will have it looking dated before it is discontinued for the next gen. Aside from all the vents and angles up front, the single thing I hate the most about this car is the feature…
