Long hauls typically require a big truck. ;)

Good talk, glad we could do this. 

Horsepower has no relation to seat belts. At 70mph or any other speed, when you hit something the amount of horsepower you have has nothing to do with the results.

There’s so much variance in how to measure HP that it might really just be an honest mistake and under-promising and over-delivering.

The difference being she’s getting paid while the passengers are paying for the experience of not getting to their destination on time.

God these are the worst ads ever. They fill me with dread every time I hear them starting up. Toyota did the world a favor by putting a bullet in this crap so the rest of the world doesn’t have to be exposed to it.

You know what else slows down traffic?

No. Measuring wheel horsepower is a much less precise science.

That’s not bad.

Nope, he’s doing it exactly right. He’s only “that guy” because nobody else knows how to do it correctly.

False. The merge should occur at the closure point — NOT “a mile back”.

That’s actually EXACTLY how a zipper merge is supposed to work. The best place for the merge is at the closure point — not miles ahead of it.

In Grand Rapids, they realized it was easier to give simple instructions than to call it a zipper merge. There is a sign a mile before the lane ends that says “Use both lanes to merge point” and then where the lane ends is a sign saying “Merge Here” in big bold letters. It actually worked, which is shocking.

They are eliminating emissions by never actually producing the truck.

Good thing he put on his driving gloves for safety.

I love the video, and the sound. BUT I am sick of those video makers who think the only way to take a turn is sideways. Stop drifting in every goddamn turn !

Does not sound as good as the 458 :( (not that I expected it to)

Seriously. Wonderful, naturally-aspirated engine, (relatively) reasonable maintenance costs for an M-car, 6-speed only, and it just has this subtle, badass look to it. It’s like the classy gentleman of performance cars, and BMW hasn’t made anything like it every since. The E60 M5 was ugly and had loads of problems…

Maybe the garage HAD been closed for months and what you saw was actually a ghost man & car.

Why do I love my car?
