Yo...MTV Raps!

I’m not sure how many of us have spent time in super-powerful cars, but it is surprising to me how ‘eh’ that gets, compared to great steering, a wonderful ride / handling balance, good visibility, and evocative view over the hood, etc.

If you’ve ever worked for a company that had a few of these analysts visit, and then had an opportunity to talk with them day after day by the coffee machine on the third-floor kitchen, let me tell you what you already know - these are exceptionally average people with no particular insight into anything.

The upright front nose...hmmm...

Might as well tell Boomer car guys to stop wearing white tennis shoes, pristine mom jeans and golf shirts.  

Strange stuff on this - from the partial ‘S’ front spoiler to the completely missing rear spoiler, and yes, the awful chrome wheels, then a strut tower brace (the vault-like 928 does not need that).,,

Don’t worry, the Orange Rapist is going to protect families / homes / cars. 

I’ll never understand people who think something like this - with a footprint as big as an older S-Class - could in anyway deliver on the 911 experience, which is all about agility and connection.

I’m out in Colorado and see a surprising number of these on the road, which makes me think they’re doing great under all sorts of conditions.

Indeed. This ad made it clear who Audi wanted as customers.

5 years ago, one of my car-friends bought a $40,000 Porsche off eBay. Even after supposedly being vetted by a local mechanic in Texas, it was delivered to Colorado and was clearly a flood car. Draining the oil brought water-oil, etc.

Good question.

I know I’m reading garbage when I read this: ‘Chevette set a new standard with rust that even the Italians and Japanese couldn’t match.’

I get your consternation. I work as a Marketing Manager for a medical device company - I regularly see how the game is played, and yes, it is awful and no one seems to care, but at least we’re getting some transparency here.

A convicted felon / adjudicated rapist / 6-time-bankupt ‘businessman’ / seditionist / early-stage-dementia-patient / etc. has some thoughts...

Good question.

Grab a Porsche Cayman GTS with the 4-litre engine and a manual transmission. That’s not exactly a creative choice, but I’m sure you’d do well.

The current generation is certainly the purest distillation of I-didn’t-get-attention-in-high-school found in any Corvette.

Those awful center screens, perched and demanding your attention. They look aftermarket, already dated and soooo cheap. In the Chinese rental car I had down in Mexico, a version of that same eyesore was already failing - vibrating with a crack in it and randomly turning on the radio.  And the press seems bent on

The German car specialist I take my mom’s E-Class to won’t even touch BMWs that are more than ~10 years old because they are such a disaster and they’re done with know-nothing personalities that buy these cars.

Cramer is one of those experts in EVERY topic, don’t you know? Subprime bonds for a Brazilian infrastructure project - he needs to be heard!
