Not with that engine. My Step father had a two door 316i new back then, It was painfully slow.

Airbag systems, pioneered in MotoGP racing, actually do provide enhanced rider protection beyond what an armored jacket does, particularly for collar bones and shoulders (depending on the design).

Unfortunately, for a vehicle that was going to be on dealer lots for 18 years, it didn’t have a timeless design.  Notchy headlights didn’t look good on day one and don’t look good now.  The new ‘Z’ has a design that should hold up much better with time.

Being willing to post objective, valid criticism does not make Jalop anti anything.

Look Mr. Jinping, I assure you - in America, 20 mm panel gaps and roofs that fly off in traffic are totally ok! It actually creates an alternate means of egress if Autopilot slams you into a concrete divider! I mean, which it would never do. We good?

Nobody with a strong credit score is being charged 25%. If you have a strong credit score you will be *showered* with offers to borrow money at extremely low rates in the hope that you borrow more. Hell I just got one of those stupid “consolidate your debt” fake check offers and the rate was 5.5%. 

Interest rate caps are well-intentioned, but like a lot of populist economic policies, they tend to be counterproductive.

Its actually the weirdness of such nerds that first made me aware of Elon Musk and thinking he might be a bit of a con artist

Put Elon Musk or Tesla in title = Clicks 

Musk is not nearly the genius some of his most faithful would like to believe.

I was hoping for a Bolt bolt recall.  Too bad.  Maybe next time.

That’s certainly true, there are definitely a few “true believers” out there on the byte waves (I guess it’s not “air waves” anymore these days). And I agree that social media platform algorithms to suggest similar content are definitely helping to construct the echo chambers that feed the monster; worse still when…

“Good lawd are we a soft society at present.”

I prefer the boring to whatever abomination that last style was. I thought the new Civic might be an acceptable fallback for a next car in the likely event that I hate everything else, but I guess that’s out. It’s bad enough that everyone is dumping manuals, but the worst of all is the horrid CVTs they went with. And,…

Pretty significant about-face from the current model. It’s nice, bordering on boring, in some trims.  And that has to be Honda’s nicest interior. It’ll be interesting to see the hatch, and the more performance oriented trims. I’m guessing it’ll look quite good. It’s definitely matured, and I’ll maintain the best…

Is it because people aren’t belonging to churches as much, so they need to find some other religion to believe in?

Elon is paying these people, right?

Jesus, they’re like cultists but the cult leader gives even less of a shit about their wellbeing, on top of wanting their wallet.

I LOL’d at the “spend every last cent”.

OK I didn’t watch the video because I have zero interest in helping that guy’s clicks, and you did a good job summarizing, but yeah, you were amazingly chill and empathetic, and from the beginning to the end of this post, you referred to this dude with nothing but respect and empathy, and that is hugely admirable,…
