legend.  both the meme and the lady.

Your headline is disingenuous. It implies that Trump’s decision had something to do with the crash. It’s as bad as the Douchebag in Chief® implying that DEI initiatives had something to do with it.

Preliminary analysis of ATC audio indicates that the UH-60 flight crew may have been looking at the wrong aircraft when…

So what you’re saying is that it is the clapped out Miata of regional jets?

what makes it a piece of shit?  old?  crappy automation systems?

Every once in a while I day dream about winning the lottery and in addition to stocking my garage with a 911 GT3 for me and a murdered out Escalade-V (for the missus), I would buy a 4Runner TRD Pro and pay a dealership to swap in the 6MT from a Taco.

I have to believe that other than cutting/punching the hole for the…

I’m on my 4th Infiniti. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Infiniti is the dollar store luxury brand. 90% of the luxury, 75% of the cost.

That said, I’ve had the QX50 as a loaner a couple of times over the last few years. It’s trash. Good riddance.

The nice thing about most bikes is that they have a wet clutch.  You can effectively ride the clutch all day long.  Once your left hand learns to pause and hold right at the start of the friction point, it’s super easy.

I’m already paying to keep a 14 year old 335i and a 19 year old SLK280 on the road...how much more could this possibly be?

I’m lucky and have the mildly more reliable N55, but to your point, the cost of ownership of a BMW is measurable higher than a G35/G37/Q50

I had a G35C 6MT for a decade. It was a great car, traded it in with a little more than 150k miles on it and other than the first couple of years I had it, it was reliable and trouble free.

AWD/4WD is a marketing scam.*

Buy better tires.

*for most people in most places

It’s always a white-knuckle ride for me whenever I pass through St. Louis to get to...other places. The interstate signage is confusing, the lanes seem narrower than they need to be, the pavement is really rough for the speeds you’re driving and the drivers...woof...the drivers and their cars scare me the most. Lots…

I’m still more concerned about being shot by someone with road rage

Not many cars on the road sound as good as a V8 F-Type with the factory burble tune...but dat cost of ownership, tho

I mean, I’d put this on my E90...

Just going to leave this here.

Comes with a manual.  Would love to get this for my kids.  Too bad the steering wheel is on the wrong side.  Stupid British colonists.

I feel like this could have gone much worse for everyone involved.  Safer thing to do may have just been to follow the thief while on the phone with the police.
