I wrote my own block of “confusing BMW naming scheme” text for situations like this but yours is doing the job just fine. Tip: it’s worth pointing out that the new 5 and 6 are on the same platform as the 7, just to make it even more ridiculous.

I saw Spiritualized and Spectrum within a week of each other. It's crazy to see one half of Spacemen 3 playing huge sold out venues and the other playing a half-empty photography bar.

Dude. I’m from Chicago and long ago learned to love Malort. There are worse things than urine. Easy choice.

Unless it’s this.

Y’see? This is *exactly* why I asked.

Thanks. I’ve heard of the legendary Ford Escort RS Cosworth, and read a bit about the legendary Ford Escort RS Cosworth, but I never really learned to identify the legendary Ford Escort RS Cosworth by the legendary Ford Escort RS Cosworth’s legendary headlights.

What’s the yella fella in the middle?

So watch the race when you wake up in the morning instead of checking a car blog that has posted about motorsports since its inception.

This is a toaster.

This conversation is making me thirsty.

Not jealous of your diabetes. It killed my father. I apologize for any insensitivity. But two drinks could be considered a light brunch in some circles. I guess those circles include high function alcoholics...

Jealous. I haven’t gotten a buzz off two shots of bourbon since high school.

I have 135,xxx on my ‘01 6MT. My plan is pretty much the same as yours.

Hi, 540i friends!

Thank you for being lazy. I can’t stand the gif ledes.

The Panamera’s not the best looking car in the world, but it certainly doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. I *really* like the front quarter view. Also, I had always thought of this as competing against the 5ers and E-class. I know the Pana is more expensive but as far as size and tech I thought they were more mid-level.

I thought calling these H1s was a faux pas. Correct me if I’m wrong, but remember this being a big deal during DeMuro’s Hummer ownership.

Every time I see a bright blue (is that Lightning Blue?) Raptor (which is just a Tonka truck for grownups) I like to think that the guy’s wife drove him to the dealership and says, “You finally earned your new truck, Mikey. What color do you want?” and Michael the very important professional says, “I WANNA BWUE…

I’d really love to see a modern Ferrari prototype. VAG has been working on their hybrid LMP1 tech for years now, and Toyota (sadly for us screaming V8 fans) finally got on the hybrid train. Ferrari’s current foray into hybrid technology is slapping a few motors onto an amazing -sounding V12-powered car and calling it…
