On a related note, why do you think that Trader Joe’s has diagonal lanes and tight spaces. They engineer traffic jams to get their customers to slow down and browse the shelves.

I’m waiting for a BMW XM5 CSL myself...

Aha, should have read the marketing blurb in your post in more detail. I don’t know that anyone is racing GTS Porsche models. They’re just higher trim level street cars, albeit fast ones.

Yes, even James Dean died en route to an SCCA race in the Spyder that he raced, but the cars that race today are a bit more specialized and not particularly comfortable. 

Unfortunately, those systems also control climate control and other operational elements.

I love BMW's old inline 6 motors.

Comfort of the drivers? Have you ever seen it read accounts if the “comfort” that the Porsche rsr endurance team racers endure? Race cars are not comfortable. There just really fast which makes the work worthwhile. We all *think* we want to own race cars, but there’s a reason they’re not daily drivers. Those cars that…

86 Z28 had a Corvette engine... Almost bought one. Now you have three points to plot the curve...

My go-to frozen meal will always be stauffers Lasagna. I live too close to easy great pizza to make it unless we want to do a project with the kids. Mod is a decent local chain with tons of options

The fact that people can learn on simulators and get jobs driving for race teams as a testament to the equivalence, then again, after reading articles about what drivers endure in the 24 hour races, you realize how different it is. The cockpit if a race car is a brutal, hot, uncomfortable place that demands huge…

If you haven’t seen one, current home simulators are pretty amazing, especially with VR goggles. It’s a hell of a proxy for when you can’t get to the track anymore. Maybe not the pure physics, but with a basic motion base $3k and fanatec wheel a and pedals you can get pretty cool experience.

1968, my mom, who was a single parent was at a Buick dealership.She mentioned that she thought the new Riviera Aunt in the showroom was a nice looking car, and the salesman told her to bring back her husband and he’d talk to him about maybe buying it for her.  She then walked over to a different salesman and handed…

Atom not be tough to get to the track without a trailer. Caterhams can be overstuffed when power for a similar effect and vague streetability

Think of it as a really strong 150 wax job that lasts years.

Amen. I feel safer in my 1997 BMW after driving school than u would in some barge

They help with leather. I have a cloth drivers seat that doesn't need heat.

There are a handful of DIY kit and battery vendors who provide adequate service to step into the venture. You can also build a bike with qualities that you typically can’t buy off the showroom floor... Just like cars. Luna seems to be stabilizing, and I was very happy with my experience with EM3EV. I built a bike with…

These work great in suburban and semi rural places where you have lots of 25-30 mph streets. The higher speed bikes are very useful to increase range. Also consider that if you are handy, you can buy a mid drive kit for about 1000-1300 to electrify an existing bike. There are also hub motor alternatives, but the mid…

It’s as big as an e34 5 series, and they wonder why we ask for a 4 door 2 series. Then they promise a 4 door 2 series, but with FWD. Buhbye BMW.

We have one. I prefer the gooey centers. Brownies are really best half baked, imho.
