I know this isn’t very Jalop of me (brown manual diesel wagon and all), but why the F would anyone buy a diesel these days unless whatever country they are in heavily subsidized diesel fuel? If you want economical (and therefore you mostly drive with a light right foot), you can get a 1.5L turbo four engine that still…

I kept trying to figure out why I couldn’t log into Kinja on my phone or iPad. Finally I disabled that privacy feature and now it’s all good for logging in and commenting- apparently all I have to do is give these asshole owners all my data, my ATM PIN, my schlong size, and the keys to my house and then they will let…

Gotta be the chassis. 4200 pound coupe built on 15 year old platform. So let’s cut the roof off and turn it into wet spaghetti. 

Biggest fenders=best black series.

For the Porsche buyer- buy a 997.2 (2009-2012) generation Carrera S with manual. Bank $75K for track days until you die. Way more fun despite being slower than any 992.

This. The best used car values are the ones where the owner added 35% to the priced the car with options.This goes out the window of the options all disappear. 

Good responses all around. Complicated calculus indeed. But doesn’t this simplify it pretty well? As a part time boater, I see this at every bridge and makes things pretty damn easy regardless of time of day, tides, vessel weight, etc. If you know the height of your vessel (which you should), check the big freaking…

Audi Exclusive all the way.

That was my thought. 53 is the now the standard tractor trailer type trailer length (many states maxed out at 48 feetyears ago, and they’re pretty much all at 53 now without restrictions). Usually you see a Kenworth or Mack pulling 53 feet. It takes skill to drive (and park) a rig that long.

Where are the stars for another $kay funny?!

Legit laugh out loud. Thanks for this. 

Owner forums are the first place I go with questions or issues with my cars (Audi and Porsche). The more niche you get, the more dedicated owners forums you can find. Jeep Wranglers, Nissan GT-R, any Porsche, Bimmerforum, etc.

I agree. My Audi key is the size of a little box of matches and never comes out of my pocket.

When there are temporary closures to streets that for the last 90 years have been open, it will required a manned presence- traffic cops, a car with lights on, etc. I can guarantee you would see things like a contractor moving a barricade because they have a construction site on the block, things like that. 

I got an email from Suncoast Parts (biggest online Porsche parts retailer) with some specials, trying to keep business moving. One of the items on the loading page in the email was Martini Racing stripe kits. I have an Agate grey Cayman, and though not white, I always thought it would be fun to put on the stripes for…

Exactly. There are plenty of other places that the typical cruise person could go in Florida. I doubt many of these people would go and book a trip to anywhere other than maybe Nassau. Typical cruisers aren’t going into small locales on foreign islands and immersing themselves in the local culture. They wound rather…

Deferring half of his salary. His salary is $1.7M but his total comp last year was $17M! So he is deferring one half of 10% of his total comp.

I live in the NYC area and despite the amount of money, you don’t see anywhere near the number of super cars here that you would see in LA or Miami. It’s the weather and crappy roads. It’s just not worth having your Lambo in the parking garage of your 15 Central Park West condo building. Those same people also have a…

This is correct. The Monroney is tied specifically to the VIN and is a legal document created by the government as part of the car selling and buying process. Unless these features are left off the Monroney, and a separate contract is signed for a subscription to a piece of software, this is theft by Tesla and if it…

I just want to meet the 5% who voted NP. It’s like when one of the late night comedians went into public trying to find the 11% who said Congress is doing a good job.
