Diatribe complete. Now shut the fuck up, Aaron.

I would have a lot more respect for NASCAR if they kept the “stock” part of racing intact instead of what they drive now. They kinda lost their way when they moved away for actual factory built cars and went full custom whips. That, and they need more road courses, I hate watching an oval race.

2021 Celica confirmed?

Thank you because I had no interest in watching the damn video and expected the journo to do the summary for us. Ufda.

Let me save everyone some time. Conclusions - traction control on: Audi slightly better. Traction control off: Audi more sloppy than the others. Trade-offs abound, and no real standout winner.

You’re welcome.

Personally, I’d buy a manual 86 over this thing any day of the week. You don’t drive an auto. You push on its pedal and turn its wheel and let it take you places... like the grocery store or your kid’s soccer practice. You want to have fun in a car? Even in rush hour traffic? You can, in a manual.

Ignoring dealer markups? One reason would be if I’m buying a BMW (and you are) I want the BMW dealership experience. I don’t want to buy from Chad who sells Camrys at MSRP all day to geriatrics while offering me a beat Corolla loaner during a service visit.

Dear good Sir,

Must’ve been a pretty big track you tested it on, considering the size these things are compared to normal cars.

I don’t know how you guys live in these dense cities. If I had to be surrounded by that many people constantly AND travel with them on busses and subways or in the street on a bike I think I’d crack. My social anxiety would be through the roof. My car is like my cocoon of safety lol. I’ll take the country over the…

There’s something like a dozen cars on the island for various uses and work vehicles are routinely brought to the island for repairs and other building…

A beginner’s guide to electric cars:

On one hand I like clean air.

“Pardon me sir, but I have anecdotal evidence to dispute your claim!”

You’ve made this comment quite a bit here and I don’t quite understand what you’re getting at. It was an organization harbored by Taliban-led Afghanistan, which was promptly invaded and the leadership deposed.

Wow. What a big surprise. This turned into a GWB hater circle jerk. Stupid president, trying to keep the economy from crashing! Overreacting to the first attack on the mainland that killed ~3000 people! The NERVE of that guy. What we needed was a pansy ass Al Gore who would’ve apologized to bin Laden for the loss of…

“but it was in no way equivalent to an act of actual war.”

I like to set my mirrors so they create a continuous picture from left to rear view to right, then if I need to look down the body of my car, I lean forward momentarily. You can’t do that with cameras.
