The rest of the companies 100%. An asterisk on pilots though. They need to have a certain amount of flight hours in a given time period, and they cannot have more than an x amount of downtime in between flights in order to stay qualified. The numbers I do not know for sure, but when the demand wasn’t there, it just…

Not related to the car but:

Bottas has failed exactly when MB needed him most, and not obey when they needed him to. If that’s the case then why not give Russell a shot, They need to groom a winner if they were to do something about the idea of continued winning.

Go down to manual only cars, that’s how my wife learned.

They don’t even sell a vehicle similar to the WRC cars in NA, what’s the point? None of the cars in WRC are sold NA.

WRX or Golf R if you are buying new.

And that’s how I ended up in a M3. If you are looking for cars with performance there’s maybe 10, if you want something that’s not FWD then there’s less

To take on a very different tangent, this is the reason why I think hybrid drive is way more important to the market than EV. The mileage gain with just a small battery and an electric motor is amazing with very little downside. You can easily double industry mileage for very little cost, especially when you have…

Why can’t they just be TRD?  It’s essentially the same thing, an in house tuning/performance branch.

Misha?  Misha from Apex?

Spinning the tire in the air is very different from having the tire actually hit the pavement at that speed.

The Mustang is also the right size.  It was bigger than the 3/4 series from BMW

I find that using OEM wipers are the best.

I wonder if this is slower or Torch’s Ram conversion camper thing.

For my toy? No. But my M3 gets me just under 20mpg all city driving. Can’t really complain for a 450hp tail wagging machine.

Their US oriented and built SUVs have cheap interiors.  I was especially disappointed by the Atlas, and the decontenting is very obvious on the Tiguan.

I’ve driven a FWD SUV before.  It’s not a good drive imo, it’ll leave you very frustrated.

Why didn’t you put in a factory order then?

It has to do with the dealers too. People actually want colours, and people actually want manuals, but what they don’t want to do is to order and wait 3 months for a car.

Since you have trucks, at least you don’t want to try 4 different seats to see if they fit in your car.
