2017 Carplay was horrid. Useless home screen, and would lock out a majority of the functionality on the phone itself when it was running. These days, though? I just ditched my Pixel for an iPhone 12 in large part due to CarPlay absolutely curbstomping AA in functionality these days.
I recently switched from Android to iPhone in large part because Google has stagnated with Android Auto at best, and is actively making it worse at, uh, worse.
A common issue I had (by design) was I’d be in maps and a song would come on that I didn’t like, so I’d want to switch back over to Spotify to toggle through…
Wait, so BMW guy had bad window regulators so he... replaced the entire door?
*WHAT*
Easy NP assuming a PPI comes back relatively clean and the car is rust free. These things are about to go ballistic in value. They’re already appreciating faster than I can accumulate the money to buy one :(
I struggle to even be mad or conjure up hate for this thing. The best I can muster is “meh”.
Oh boy! A regressive neolib policy that disproportionately affects the poor! Wonderful!
I dalied a 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan 500 for a few months until I could afford a car. It was fine. Great little bike. Quiet, decent power, smooth, comfortable. Not exactly loads of storage though.
That isn’t the Miata-based one.
there’s a Miata guy who put white underglow under his white NA Miata and when he turned on the turn signals that side’s underglow would flash orange.
Any car show the local Mopar club shows up at. Endless row of 2005-2015-ish Challengers, Chargers, and 300s all decked out in the most tasteful of vinyls, LEDs, and chrome dressings. Always taking up an entire row at cars & coffee.
Low bars? Sweet. Low bars and front controls? Garbage. This thing is an ergonomics disaster just like the equally cool-looking-yet-mediocre FXDR.
For that price I’d get a well maintained E46 325i Touring with a stick. For $6k it’d get a NP but my god don’t think that the “sport” in “sportcross” translates to driving enjoyment. Plan on sway bars and quality coilovers at a minimum to make the IS300 less of a boat. The IS300 was designed to fight the 330i E46 but…
Well that’s dumb. I love it. I absolutely love that it’s got proper molded-on flares instead of riveted on plastic trash bins.
It’s just so... generic. It looks a lot like a KTM and I really don’t like how the new KTMs look. Hard pass.
Man that is a bulky looking small roadster. And no manual? Hard pass. I understand wanting an auto because “it shifts fast” in some sort of hypercar where it’s all about the numbers but in a light, fun little car whose main draw is driving pleasure? No stick? Are you kidding me?
And no, I can’t afford one. But I can…
The FXDR is their fastest gas bike? Man that is... depressing. I rode one at a local Harley event and it was not exciting. Mediocre lean angles, solidly “meh” in a straight line, and absolute trash ergonomics. It does look freaking sick, though.
Pre-2005 BMW M cars. They’re decent sports cars that are entirely about the feeling of driving them and the sensations. A massive part of that sensation is the sound of whatever ///M mill is under the hood. Making them electric would utterly ruin what makes them special.
Neat. I’d love to swing a leg over one of those. I rode pretty much every harley under the sun a couple years ago at a demo event and the 117 powered bikes were very impressive, albeit not striking me as a terribly wonderful value proposition. The Sportster line-up made me angry, as they felt as rickety and…
It’s as nimble as a minx compared to, say, a VTX1800 or Goldwing.
