Miss all the actual tactile buttons?  Buttons that never change function and don’t move? 

Agreed, with the following addendum: I’d buy the Porsche just because they put in the effort of making a driver-focused car, instead of “enabling autonomy” with a giant touchscreen and ~nothing else~ for controls.

If you travel enough, you have Pre. You likely have clear as a backup (either paid for earlier that year, or do the 5 minute signup and move through). Convenience costs. As for security timing - I’ve never waited in line for more than 10 minutes at Seatac, and I went through there at LEAST twice a month for the first…

Risks going through security? That’s 5 minutes. Clear and Pre. Be late? Nah, never has happened, just planning there. Accident in the cab?  Call an uber and get a move on (that’s happened, but it was actually my rental after a semi rear-ended me near Seattle - I was on the way to Seatac).  Always leave plenty of time…

I’d cry.  Definitely cry.  Especially at LaGuardia. 

I’ve never had to take flights like that.  I decline if work pushes me towards those - I’ll leave earlier, or stay an extra night somewhere to travel during normal hours.  I’m worth too much to be “stuck” in an airport too much (both from their perspective and mine), even if I’m on my own dime.  

I decline to take trips that have me arriving anywhere (unless internationally at my final destination) at 1AM.  I’ll leave earlier, thanks.  

Leave and get a hotel. 

Cadillac needs to not punch ~itself~ - forget the up and down right now. 

They’re changing the names, that’s it. it’s weird, it’s annoying, but the pricing makes sense - this is the same as an M235i, ish, and pretty close in pricing. Ish. ~shrug~.

I got an NB Miata.  It’s pretty close in some ways.  

My Friday, almost every week - 180 mile loop. Do it in a mix of cars depending on the weather and the week. Can randomly have 150 mile days too in there.

Between this and the commentary on the Livewire post... dammit, I miss riding. Too many people paying zero attention these days for me - even being incredibly defensive, I still recall too many close calls before I hung up my spurs in 2015.

It’s the Camarorado! 

I don’t know if I’d have kept the 350 - mine was a bit ragged out, but I sure as hell would have kept the C5, and instead of the BMW kept the Wrangler.  

Ultra Glide Classic is 25,189 with color options. Gold Wing Tour starts at 27,000. Want to try again?

Same boat for me. Had a GTI in the past. If I had to have a single car only, it’d be near the top of the list (behind the Golf R). But I have many cars, and there’s a sacrifice made for “all around versatility” that you may or may not want to make.  I found the ST family and Si far more engaging to drive, while making…

Markup on the touring bikes vs Goldwing/etc isn’t really there - they all cost the same. the others it’s more of an issue, but the big tourers (the ones the real riders put 100k+ on) are fairly priced.

Totally agree, just pointing out that the engine makes 400HP - they just detuned it for the mid-range version.

It’s a highly tunable engine - see also, Q60 Red Sport (400hp, same engine).
