I’m a fan of cars that require instructions.

The shifter dial on my i3 is by far my favorite part of the car!

I like these recent “did you know?” posts.  Next, do one on how there seems to be an infinite number of ways to access Reverse on a stick shift car.  Do you press down and out?  Just press down and up?  In and up?  Why so many variations?

My shifter is a dial....on the steering wheel....

Still loving mine, and heading to the V-Performance Academy in July :)

Sound matters. a lot.
very few V6s ever have sounded good. Jaguar probably gets the closest by just making it LOUD!!!1. Porsche gets around this by having a flat 6 which is distinct from what you’d find in anything outside of a Subaru or a light aircraft.

And at the end of the day the reason these cars exist is for…

Yeah, I’d take the slow car with personality over the fast car with a boring engine.

I get the economies of scale and packaging, but seriously, why does going under 3.5l mean we HAVE to have V6s? With very few exceptions V6s are fairly pedestrian, and before you say GT-R, if they released a 4.5l V8 GT-R you would all lose it.

Jag makes their interesting by virtue of having essentially no exhaust and…

V6’s are fine in regular cars when you’re upgrading from the base 4-cylinder, but they’re just woefully inadequate in supercars.

Who’s going to buy it though?

This looks really nice, but as a parts person I LOATHE it when manufacturers use the same model name for two vehicles that are almost entirely different.

Pretty much anything with a back seat is going to be an upgrade from the f350 regular cab he’s got now.

That was easy enough.

Boats are rad. Radder yet are surface drive props, check this shit out!!

1 Giulia for every 6 3-Series actually doesn’t sound that bad to me, technically speaking or not, given the ubiquity of the 3-Series and what Alfa is starting from (nigh on scratch).

Dear Audi,

It all seems very abstract to me—were I in the market for a Grand Tourer I’d have the excellent-sounding Lexus over a faster German rival any day; it’s not as if all that power is ever going to be used by the target market, and I’d think the experience is really what matters. But then again, if that were the case,…

Did you buy it 10 years old with 250,000 miles?

Did you buy it with 300k on the odometer already falling to pieces?

Mid-20's for a 5200 lbs chunk of metal with 7700 lbs of trailer towing ability and 0-60 in 6ish seconds is pretty amazing. My GX460 gets in the high teens and likely isn’t as fast nor can it tow as much.
