For a turn-key track day car, a 6th gen Camaro SS 1LE is tough to beat.  A track alignment, some DOT 4 brake fluid and it’s good to go beat up on most anything else on the track.

So Toyota parts cost more than other brands.  But then you talk about how labour is most of the cost in replacing a part anyways.  So if you have to pay labour 5x as often to replace a part that wears out 5x as much, don’t you end up saving money anyways by replacing the expensive part infrequently?

Probably not enough surveys to be statistically reliable.

I enjoyed your post very much. But it’s anecdotes. I look at data through work and it shows much lower fleet wide major component failure rates over time with Toyota and Lexus. Cars don’t get to you until something breaks. Some companies do a far better job than others of keeping their cars out of your shop to…

Oof. Clarkson, 64 years old, looking like that... Reverse Portrait of Dorian Gray vibes :D

We Germans are not all smiles and sunshine. 

great dark comedy. Also, a little less menacing being towed in ass first

Corrupt Chicago police is about as surprising as a rainy day in Seattle.  Unless the cops start going to jail or losing pensions this will continue.  

As a fellow lib, there’s nothing that makes me feel more “owned” than a complete stranger destroying his own property in a fit of pique over some bunch of strangers trying to make sure some other bunch of strangers are being treated fairly.

There is currently an anti-trust lawsuit against Apple that includes CarPlay.

Frankenstein was the drop out who wanted to be a doctor. The other main party to that story was the supposed monster, who “ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed.” but appears to otherwise have no name.

I risk being shot daily by flipping them off as I drive past. I’m in Florida. I guess it’s hard to keep an old, pissed off, cat lady down.

I did not know that this was a thing, but it’s lovely

A U.S. CEO can certainly screw things up too, but I don’t think GM’s Carplay decision is even close to the existential problem facing Stellantis.
