I’m a BMW fanboy but Mercedes Benz is building much nicer and exciting cars. Yea you have the M2 blah blah but at the end of the day Mercedes sales are way up and BMW sales are down last year. I know many people that jumped ship and bought decently spec’d CLAs because the 3er has become too bloated.

Mazda 3 lost AJAC car of the year in Canada to VW... Mazda WAS NOT HAPPY. The rumors started flying around that VW paid more

This mistake happened long before reaching the assembly line. Someone at the seat factory (Lear) might have attached the wrong bar code/QR code on the seat and it scanned in as correct. The seats and interior components arrive “Just in time” all parts are scanned and sorted then laid out on the feeding system that…

While Ferrari did give Alonso a few bad cars they also gave him some excellent machines. It was either he couldn’t do anything with them or had the worst luck. I fear Vettel is falling into that funk

Alonsos competitive years are way behind him

JetSmarter isn’t all that amazing. It works decent in areas that have a good amount of private aircraft(Think NYC, MIA, LA. SF area) and the locations those aircraft are flying too need to work out. I had the app on my phone and got endless sales calls from their people. In my city flights would pop up sometimes going…

Daughter of racecar driver that Torreto beat up with a 3/4 inch torque wrench. She wants revenge as her father was now a janitor and had to take the bus to work.

The cars would need serious modification to survive COTA in a race environment. The brakes barely last at The Glen and Sonoma and those are much slower tracks. Realistically Nascar should go to an 18" wheel that will allow more brake on road courses. I’m sure they would run the shorter section of track as well,…

I’d class Tiff as expert driver and Touring car ace. Even he admits his “F1 career” was horrible.

The Buick was stunning too bad they’ll never make it. I didn’t even bother with the Lincoln display, everything was stuck in 2002. The Genesis concept thing was cool, much more worthy than that Mitsu Monstrosity 

Another quality post brought to you by a Jalopnik writer... Jesus

Car looks fantastic to me. Then again this is Jalopnik where a Mazda Miata is the pinnacle of motoring excellence and the home of the 3000$ Mercedes S Class

There are many “legit” garages too in HK and Macau. My friend and I were walking around Macau and spotted a garage that had an Evo 5 lurking out the front door, turn the corner and there were several more. One place in HK had an entire engine from a Civic taken apart with pieces EVERYWHERE. Like everywhere though it…

Ahh yes “Brake Failure” also known as “I forgot to get off the gas and brake syndrome” You can also add “Tires were cold and low in PSI, thats why I spun” to the list of BMW owner excuses at DEs

We had a CRAP TON of hatches in Canada. Hell they were built here! The EGs would rot out but they just kept soldiering on. There are still a good amount on the road.

Waste of time and effort for a flip. Way too much work.

I remember years ago when a local speed shop started selling Pilotis.. Everyone NEEDED TO HAVE THEM.!!!! I got a pair as a gift and found them to be pretty meh as a driving shoe and pretty meh as a shoe in general. I found them to be way too stiff, wide and just plain uncomfortable. Not sure where they ended up,…

Locally around here you can only do 10 transactions a year as an individual at the DMV before you need a dealers license... I know with our provincial tax man doing that much would send up a massive redflag, you would get some sort of assessment in the mail. Trust me it’s happened.

I was doing this years ago when Nissan started buying back Pathfinders/QX over rust issues. Made REALLY good money. The settlement with VW is what kept me away this time as it’s more complex and the payout is lower thus you will need more cars.. If you have a spare 100k around to purchase TDi’s go for it. Otherwise…

The rear air suspension is air’d out. Meaning the compressor no longer works or the bags are shot. Common on those damn things.
