For one there’s no licensing requirements for an ebike, and also no insurance you need to pay.

I’d argue that the VR30DET and the VR38DETT while from the same family are nowhere the same engine with the VR30 having debuted in under a decade ago. I don’t know enough to make a judgement call, but I really think the VR30 shouldn’t be even called a VR.

I thought the 3.0T was a VR engine, which is much newer than the VQ stuff.

The steering column issue seems like a common thing from Lexus of that era.  Speed Academy on Youtube is building a track LS and they fixed their non-working electric steering column so it’s worth a look.

I understand that certain cars look better without front plates, but it has never bothered me?  I feel like it’s a safety improvement, however minor it is.

You know how useless those lights are, even compared to modern halogen headlights, nevermind the xenons, LEDs, etc.

Been itching to add one to the fleet.  Only interested in AP2 and the prices are stupid.  Examples with massive accidents are trading for 25k.

I get you.  Unless they have some kind of giant pass through this actually may not be as useful as now you can’t haul longer things due to an enclosed 4ft bed, whereas a crossover can fold seats and carry something 8ft long relatively easily.

Is there a way to send tips? You need a tipping jar for your good fight, sir.

I get what it means and I am not against democracy, but I hate the word democratize. It’s such a buzzword and so many companies use it to make themselves stand out and sound good, and yet screw their employees behind the scenes.

Came to post this, did not disappoint.

If the CEO met with every group or person that wanted to meet, she’d get nothing done. The CMO is 100% the right person for the job, as much as I believe the activist group may be doing the right thing, refusing to meet with the CMO is on them, and they are just throwing a temper tantrum and it discredits them in my…

Don’t disagree with this, showing the data would probably help.  However there are probably some business or trade things that they don’t want to divulge such as which company is getting paid how much etc.

I agree with you.

But... we’ve bought 3 new cars in the last 5 years....... two of them enthusiast cars too.

I love this thing. I have no use for it and thus wouldn’t buy one, but I love seeing it on the road.  I wish I had a use case for it and can buy one as the voting public on manufacturers making more cars like these.

Interesting, I test drove 2 and they both creaked, C300 and C63. Great QA by MB then /s.

The old C class looks great in pics, have you actually sat in it and touched it?  Creaks everywhere, would drive me insane.  Don’t want to pay extra for the new matte wood?  shiny plastic, shiny plastic everywhere.

I think I had to fill up every 20min session on my MS3. I spent probably around the same on gas as the track day entry.

I’m not sure where you got trash chassis from. It’s old but it’s better than a F30. The G20 isn’t really a huge step up.
