People only hate movies with female leads if they’re intentionally patronizing and transparently woke.

The E46 switched to drive-by-wire when it received the larger engines in 2001. The pre-facelifted models (323i and 328i) had an old-school throttle cable.
Care to elaborate?
Tangentially related, but has anyone else noticed how consistently wrong movie critics have been lately?
I remember when we picked up my mom’s ES300h and another family was just driving away in their new RX450h. As soon as they drove away, the salesman replaced it with an identical silver RX450h for yet another family to take delivery.
Nobody is going to look at your $1500 POS and suddenly decide to look up your plate, track you down, murder you, and steal your equally worthless belongings.
Seems like your narrow definition of “gearhead” is limited exclusively to people who wrench on cars. I instead prefer to attend track days, exotic car shows and concourse events.
That’s the thing, though, preventative maintenance just isn’t an overbearing problem on other cars (even other German cars). If something broke on my Miata/Corvette/WRX/A4, I continued to drive it until it was convenient to go to a repair shop. Nothing else broke in that time. Those cars just soldiered on with a lone…
Well, you do have the old-school throttle cable, so my drive-by-wire complaint is solved. In hindsight, I should have gotten a 328i instead of a 330i for that very reason.
Having owned an E46, I’m always perplexed why enthusiasts love it. The M3, sure, but the regular 3-Series variants are just...boring. The straight six sounds...well, like nothing. It’s quiet and doesn’t make any noise. I guess it sounds decent when you redline it, but it’s by no means an engine that encourages you to…
I agree on all but merging. It’s one thing if you’re merging into faster traffic, or merging at a slow bottleneck.
Which branch of PCA are you in?
It’s because they don’t bother trying to understand the legal/logistical realities of the situation. That’s the problem when you live in an echo chamber and blindly pledge faith to a political ideology without exercising a healthy amount of skepticism (or at the very least, read the fine print).
If you (a car enthusiast) think a car is ugly, then I promise that you are wrong and it’s actually attractive.
Funnily enough, they also make deer whistles which supposedly alert/scare deer out of the way!
This video seems to apply more to private track days for semi-professional drivers, not HPDE. I’d say the biggest mistakes I see in HPDE are, in no particular order:

Was the original GT350 an aged white, or was it a normal white that...well...aged?
Did nobody remind Ford that they already offered the GT350 in white/blue?
Totally agree. Even in the empty tent, there was way too much background noise. And since every body panel is curved, it’s impossible to polarize it properly, no matter how many photos you stitch together.
