That would indicate that the Lambo was stolen and rebirthed with a forged (interfered with) VIN (unique identifier). It seems funny that only that charge is reported, since it sounds like he’d been up to all kinds of shenanigans.

I feel like I would be too scared to fancy up the exterior before finishing all the mechanicals (let’s pretend that’s something that can actually happen). That thing looks beautiful; are you at all worried about continuing to wrench on it?

My 2005 Acura has that. My 2017 Audi will also close all the windows and sunroof when the lock button is held down. That was a nice addition.

My wife’s A4 will tell you when pressure is low, but what is that pressure? Check that manually.

I wish I had rims that made it that easy to mount the new wheel and align the lug bolt holes. I worry that some poor bastard who watched this video is going to try to change a tire without using an alignment pin, and discover that it’s like wrestling an angry alligator.

The smell thing is nothing new for Audi. They’ve been doing it for 40 years, and (based on my experience) they are really good at it.

Well, it looks like someone at Bud ponied up enough cash to help Kid Rock get over his feelings. He says he has “forgiven” them, and (just coincidentally, of course) Bud Light was a major sponsor of his recent MAGA-fest Rock the Country tour. Whether or not his everything-phobic followers got the memo is unclear.

I still haven’t got used to the new reality where getting a car at sticker price is considered a coup.

Sure it’s kind of annoying, but it works.

shut the engine off whenever they hear “unexpected” engine noises or feel a reduction in torque

Oh, that’s good. I’m actually surprised the MAGA brigade hasn’t already trotted that one out for real.

There’s a fundamental problem (for me) with this question. I have no doubt that there is all manner of useless tech in my car that I never use. But since I never use it, I can’t for the life of me think of any of them right now.

I find the voice control great for having incoming texts read to me and/or making calls. I don’t recall using it for anything other than that, though.

the verge... massive fuck off pothole... council cunts... couldn’t be arsed

Perhaps I’m the only ignorant bastard who needed to Google SEMA to find out what it was, but I kinda doubt it. This is why it’s cool to write out acronyms on first use.

One that’s kind of implied but not outright stated is: be prepared for seemingly decent people at the time of the accident to turn into giant liars after the fact. Don’t assume their saying “I’m so sorry, I was distracted, I didn’t look...” will insulate you from blame. Many people will do a complete 180 where they lat…

Just one more reason why manual transmissions rule.

It’s gotta be the Coot, an articulated 4WD amphibious vehicle. Crawls over rocks, can climb trees, and cross rivers and lakes. I understand the Coot2 now offers a luxurious hydrostatic drive system. But if you want a machine you can fix in the middle of nowhere with the most basic of tools and the most basic of…

I only buy new cars, which means I have bought very few cars. I do extensive research and have never ended up with a car I wasn’t completely satisfied with. I have never had a car that contained surprises, courtesy of some stranger who did gawd knows what to it and/or in it. I drive them until they drop, so…
