Count me as a fan. I like it. The lighting signatures at the bottom remind me of a bit of what VW did on the Mk.8 GTI. Otherwise, it kinda harkens back to the R34.

A number of years ago at a track day, a professional racecar driver looked me in the eyes and said “1000 laps in a GTR are eqivalent to zero laps in another car”, he was signifying that the GTR does so much for you that you don’t learn anything as a driver.

I saw a comment somewhere else describing the GT-R as having an “old-school feel” to how it drives. That really speaks to how much the industry has changed in 15 years, because for the first several years of its existence the GT-R was the posterboy for horrific, numb, computer-controlled, total disengagement from…

Stripe packages!

Thanks for the lyrics. otherwise all i heard was Concrete Uriner.

I definitely thought it was “concrete uriner” and whom amongst us has not

Oh my goodness! You mean to tell me an unregulated, secretive, non-asset based, “financial instrument” that was created to hide shady arms deals, child pornography, and illicit drugs, and fuelled entirely by speculation crashed. Wow, who could have seen that coming.

Everybody withe a diversified portfolio holds a bunch of tech stocks and the market is much broader. It’s more about percentages. My tech stocks are down 17% and most will bounce back so I am holding. They are balanced by a bunch of broad market ETF’s that are only down 5%. My Crypto (thankfully I had very little)…

Those are vehicles are far too stable to be appealing to the crypo market. 

I cannot imagine having $300k to blow on a vehicle and choosing a G63.

I’ll go prepare a nice cup of schadenfreude now. This does raise the question of how “baller” car sales are sustainable in the absence of the core markets of crypto bros (broke) and Russian oligarchs (sanctioned)?

It’s been almost three decades that I moved from Germany to the US, so things may have changed in a way I haven’t registered in the years since. But back then, Germany was very particular about type certification. That froze specs in place - and doing anything akin to tuning that had impact on one of the certified…

Completely speculation, but maybe one of our European friends can offer some input. I think some European countries (not sure about the Netherlands, but based on old episodes of Top Gear it seems like in pre-Brexit England anyway) class vehicles for registration and insurance by engine size or power output (since you…

Because apparently, EVs need to look like something different because they’re an EV.

I think its bad strategy to create this kind of internal competition and strife,

No no no - do NOT take off ALL the “police shit” (BrianG) - you simply MUST leave the PA! Imagine,

They could go to Irwindale speedway and use the drag strip or drift box.

Have they provided a place for these idiots to go be idiots without endangering innocent bystanders or their buildings? Like a large unused parking lot. Just like trying to curb street racing by building a drag strip, or curbing drug use by legalizing weed. Give people a legal way to be dumb if they want and they will…
