My girlfriend’s 2016 Crosstrek has a manual transmission, a regular key, regular style climate control knobs, manual seats, and no driving assists like lane keeping or automatic breaking. Most new cars feel like tech laden space ships, but her Crosstrek feels like a 90's car other than the touch screen radio (which…

Holy fuck. The 5 already feels like Talladega when you get over the grapevine. Do you know how many Escalades are going to want to do +120mph? 

My previous car was a Lexus IS250 and it had a similar tick. Dealer mechcanic told me it was the direct injection high pressure fuel injectors firing and it was normal. Drove the car for 12 years and never had a problem with the fuel injectors but it still had the same tick noise from the day I bought it new till the…

My thoughts exactly. Sounds almost exactly like the stock 340i in Sport mode. Wonder why...

GT3RS, GT350 and Viper ACR all pop 95 db at Laguna Seca sound check. All stock. That is why the SAE standard prescribes exact conditions to test under. Cars can be louder than what the standard shows.

tl;dr because Musk has proven to be fairly adept at selling shit that lots of people justifiably didn’t see as sensible, so you’re already wrong.

So it’s one of those kinds of Mondays, eh?

Dear Mr. Mueller,

His supporters will find a way to love this.

Late to the party, but had to reply with a photo of my daily. It’s an auto, but still so fun to drive. I’d like to get a MPPSK for it. 

The lease rates are gonna kill their sales. My Jaguar XE 35t RSport had a MSRP of 62k and my lease is well under $500/mo for 15k a year and I get to drive a Jaaaaaaag*. (Most of the time, it is in the shop a lot)

Hofmeister is identical, subtle bangle butt and ducktail is pretty damn close if not identical. Panel gap for the trunk is identical. The winged badge ties it all together.

I just picked up a Stinger GT AWD last month... LOVING it so far. Debated waiting on the G70 as I think the interior is much nicer and, well, it seems a bit more on the sophisticated side. But now having seen it up close, I can’t say the styling is as nice or as distinctive as the Stinger. Dig the diamond stitching…

Too bad that 3 series just blends into traffic. Nice drivetrain tho 

The front fascia on your is light years better than the new one.

I like the front end of your F30 WAYYYY better than the overcomplicated new design. Also, the whole manual thing. Good on you, bud, good on you. Vids for the Dinan exhaust?

That’s awesome.   I have a B8.5 S4 that is dual pulley and full exhaust, FBO.  It’s also 6MT and it’s the best daily driver anyone could ever want.   And it’s got the power to walk 500hp muscle cars whenever i feel like it.
