That’s why the sensor broke.

Nissan Armada.

Exactly. Porsche really nailed the interior with the 991 and 981. Modern, simple, luxurious where you need it, but most importantly, everything feels in the right place for a sports car. The row on buttons along the transmission tunnel is fantastic.

I think your headline is pretty misleading. You make it sound like it’s $18k for the color option because you are comparing it to the base S3. If you add all of the options that are included with these cars, the difference drops to about $7500. Obviously that’s still a lot for paint and some other interior bits. But a

I watched Chris’s review of the new GT3 RS and I pretty much had to sit down for a couple of minutes. The want is vey strong with the RS.

I should have been more specific. Regular service, not repairing an engine. Why design a part to be regularly replaced that requires significant labor and opening up the engine?

Just eliminate timing belts all together and use a timing chain. I know they can fail, but much less likely. I’ve never understood why engineers think it’s a good idea to use a giant rubber band to drive the timing of your engine. A well designed engine should never need to be opened up for service.

Just make a street legal version of this:

Why the hell does it cost $7,000 to replace that battery? It’s about 1.5kwh. Tesla is selling their 10kwh home battery packs for $3,500. Maybe Toyota is stealing them to try and make money on replacement batteries.

How about the Z4, SLK, and Alfa 4C? Similar prices, similar horsepower. There is a lot more to a car than just horsepower. Have you actually driven a mid engine sports car? Really driven one?

Here’s the adapter.

I’m a huge Tesla fan and I think very highly of the Model S. But I don’t understand this huge push from them to roll out these autopilot features. To me, they don’t add a lot of value for most drivers (I rarely ever use cruise control), but the risks and bad publicity associated with autopilot features are huge. When

Porsche 997 GT3. End of the manual transmission. Most supercars have already gone to flappy paddle gear boxes, but this to me represented the end. I know a few cars (Audi R8, Z06) still offer manuals, but when Porsche only offered the PDK gearbox in the new 991 GT3 it seemed to cause mass hysteria and final convert

I haven’t been a fan of (the) LaFerrari, but the black with bronze wheels may have just made me a convert.

Wow, the first time in my life I would consider moving to Atlanta for work.

I just picked up my i3 a couple of weeks ago. It gets way more attention the my 981 Cayman S. Depending on which angle I’m approaching it, I either love it or hate it. But the interior is to die for. Plus, I am coming from a Nissan Leaf which is about as ugly as it gets.

How to deal with people that own cars you both love and hate? For example, if you met someone at a track day trailering their 997.2 GT3 RS with an X6.

All you mother f*ckers are color blind.

What will it take to put this bumper sticker on the hummer?
