Hopefully, it opens the door for more trans people who want to pursue the sport, from an inclusion standpoint. And, hey, maybe someday, we won’t be so concerned with someone’s assigned gender at birth--even if they don’t strictly present as one gender--and trans people won’t be so ostracized.
Yep. And incidentally, that analog OnStar system was licensed to other manufacturers besides GM, including Acura and Volkswagen. Read more
You laugh, but that’s exactly what I did when the interior and exterior satin silver trim on my 2006 Range Rover Supercharged began to peel and fade. Rustoleum’s dark silver was a surprisingly accurate match, texture- and color-wise, to Land Rover’s OEM finish, and I did a shot of satin clear coat for protection.
I mean, for that price, you could do a lot worse.
Nope. Audi doesn’t have anything like that in their lineup.
Actually, quite the opposite. Many F&I people were once top salespeople on the floor. It’s one thing to sell someone a shiny new/used car that speaks for itself; it’s quite another to explain that the shiny car they’re buying is actually a piece of shit and that they should buy these intangible three- and four-figure… Read more
I’ve heard F&I people say that they are required to present all extra products to you, because if they present them to one person, they have to present them to everyone...lest they face a discrimination lawsuit. I’m not sure if that’s true or not--quite frankly, I doubt it--but be prepared for them to trot that line.
Right. If you have your heart set on a Telluride SX or a Stinger GT2, there’s probably not much else at Kia that would interest you.
Well, to be clear, the cars are already tuned to be as smooth as possible, and there’s even a Rolls-Royce chauffeur school, for chauffeurs to learn the best ways in which to drive a Rolls-Royce smoothly. But an electric powertrain would make all that so much more effortless.
Right. And even warranty long and short blocks aren’t actually “new”in the strictest sense; they’re remanufactured. The automaker sends broken ones that aren’t irreparable to some repair facility, where they’re restored to perfect condition and thoroughly tested (this is a good thing, and they tend to have fewer… Read more
I swear, some scams are deliberately designed to be as transparent as possible, as a sheer litmus test. As in, “If you’re stupid enough to see a Michigan-based ad with palm trees and think it’s legitimate...you’re our exact type of sucker, because you won’t have the resources to report us or get your money back.” Read more
Right. I have a buddy that got a very low-mileage, well-kept 2008 Range Rover Supercharged for $5,000. That was a steal. But it’s because he personally knew the owner, who just wanted to get rid of it (because he had too many cars). That same car wouldn’t have been listed at that price on Facebook Marketplace or… Read more
Or they were brought over my American military officials.
In what way?
It’s beefy because the entire mechanism has to swing to the side on its own. Normally, SUVs with rear-mounted spares (Land Cruiser Prado, Wrangler, Disco I and II, Bronco) have rear doors that swing to the side and include the carrier on/within them. The Cayenne, however, uses a normal lift-gate, and Porsche probably…
I don’t know if that is the reason, only because you have enough people who have “750" immortalized in their minds as the one to have. These are the people who won’t have done their research and will be surprised when they get a $10K engine bill for that N63. I think the reason is that there are just plainly fewer of… Read more
You’re right. It is true that GM designates these engines LT, but they are really the 5th-generation LS engine blocks.
I have a 2016 535i xDrive M Sport that happens to still have a year of its warranty left. I’m not as afraid of it as I am the 550i, but it still annoys me, and I’m already planning its departure.
The earliest ones (pre-2013, which is when they released the N63TU) are the worst. Read more
All that money, and they couldn’t even spring for a version of—or imitate—the good MultiContour seats that were in the F15 X5?
