I think Audi is going for a model that the bumpers don’t fall off to compensate for slightly slower 0-60 times.

This excuse of growing pains is wearing pretty thin. Over the past few decades we’ve seen plenty of companies in complex industries spring up and maintain in just a few years. At this point Tesla is 15 years old. At what point do they have to put away the excuses and realize that chaos and inefficiency is inherent in…

Nobody said he had to be fitted into it in a single piece.

I would guess in the last 16-17 months.

I’ve said this a thousand times, we need confetti cannons in the middle of roundabouts. No, it wouldn’t have prevented this situation from happening but it might have made a terrifying experience just a little more festive.

David Tracy’s adventure next year will be driving an $800 Jeep down there to retrieve it

Nico has never been a terrible interesting figure amongst the F1 drivers, and Bernie is, well, Bernie, so none of this is surprising or deserves the least bit of attention as far as I’m concerned.

We have to find this other application now. Turns our that there are a whole bunch of Nissans that use that system and the nub is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Nissan-46512-H0101-Rubber-Stopper-Brake/dp/B00TNL826G

You articulated what all of us VW/Audi owners have known for a long, long time, but always hated to admit.

That explains a lot about what has gone on at Audi.

Of course -- Audi lets engineers run the show. Customers pay the price :D

I believe it would be that Canada could suspend US drug patents in Canada opening the door for canadian companies to produce. Not just drugs but all patents. It’s sound unlikley, extreme, and crazy, but that also describes el Presidente
