My Mercedes has Normal and Sport. Sport makes the throttle even more jumpy and the thing WAY too eager to downshift. Pointless and annoying.

I like that my manual transmission cars have infinite drive modes depending on how I feel like driving. No button needed.

Too busy at a fanbois convention riding the loop around and around and around.

You don’t even need a rail. There are automated stuff-movers that just sense a guide wire running down the middle of the route and follow it. Or a single raised rail in the middle with some guide wheels like various fairground kid’s “driving” rides.

They absolutely do today. Modern children are far more delicate flowers than we Gen-X’ers were, never mind our parents. Heck, SCHOOLS have A/C now - all the schools in my hometown in *MAINE* are now air-conditioned, though only some of the buses are, those used as shuttles for the town’s summer festival. I can’t even…

My High School driver would kick your ass off the bus right there and then, and then call your parents that night and tell them what you did. And the resulting beating (literal or metaphorical, depending on parent) would REALLY ensure you never did it again. Small town, many years ago.

You would need to own a tire and brake store and your own oil refinery to track a modern M5. 5000lbs of techno-luxury does not a track day weapon make.

Kids these days - to my generation “raw dogging” has a VERY different, and rather more fun definition.

My newest car currently is a 2014. It has too much technology that I don’t care about at all. New cars are just stupid at this point, shark well and truly jumped.

I dunno - if he’s cute I might be into it. But I prefer to have a nice dinner first.

They ban “liquids, aerosols, and gels” - a gel is basically a very thick liquid, and so is peanut butter.

I’m 55 - he looks a hell of a lot older than I do. The music life must be *rough*. 

I would have guessed 60+. Yikes.

There are 283M registered private vehicles in the US. I find it very, very hard to believe that a mere 3.3 million EVs are any more than rounding error in what effects the price of gasoline.

That is *exactly* why airplanes still have ashtrays in the bathroom. There have been a couple crashes caused by people tossing butts into the waste bin in the bathroom and starting a fire. Better safe than sorry.

It’s a super simple calculation. If you can make more money with your money than the interest on the note will cost, take the note and make the money. There is also something to be said for liquidity and cash flow. I could have paid cash for my most recent car purchase, but it was better for me to leave my money…

Not feeling this one. You are OK with the parents buying a gun and ammunition and giving it to a kid?

This attitude baffles me. If I was selling a $100K+ car I would advertise it on every venue under the sun to find that one special buyer. You never know who is going to see it where. And Craigslist is free (AFAIK), so why not?

ND - these age like milk, take $50K off for the added nonsense and we can talk.

Really looking fantastic - love the color, love-love-love the color matched wheels.
