Interesting that you talk about the engine being dated, tracing its roots back to 1996. The F-Type was something I considered back in 2014 when I was last car shopping — I ended up saving a bit of money and getting a 2015 Mustang GT which is still my daily driver — and the Mustang actually has the engine with the…

Underrating hp on an internal combustion engine is one thing; each individual engine is going to be slightly different from each other engine, and so the hp number is just an approximation anyway. Electric motors are precise and should be both exactly measurable, and identical to each other across the range, so…

... no. I used to want one of these. But no. That’s not enough hp for the money for a 17 year old car.

My wife for a long time refused to get an SUV because that’s a “mom car” and she didn’t want to be stereotyped, but when we had a second kid she finally gave in and accepted that you can’t fit two babies’ worth of stuff in the trunk of a 3-series. By the time my kids are out of car seats... I guess I’ll probably be…

I’ve never learned to drive a manual. Other than taxis in Europe, I've never even been a passenger in a car with a manual. Might as well try to fly a plane as drive this car. 

I like driving so much that before I meet my wife I would get in my Mustang (or my Cayman before that) and spend the entire weekend driving, going from NYC to St. Louis or to Alabama on a Saturday, and turning around and driving back on Sunday. I've spent plenty of time at the track. I love driving. I've never learned…

I’ve put two car seats in the back of my Mustang; you can parent and still drive fun cars. But I've never been able to learn to drive a manual and I've never felt I was missing out on anything.

I’ve driven plenty of fun cars — my daily driver is a Mustang GT — and I’ve never been able to learn how to drive a manual. Can’t get the hang of it. Don’t feel I’m missing out on much.

I have a set of Michelin X-Ice xI3's in my garage that I put on my Mustang in the winter. Drives beautifully in snow.

I don’t know anybody who owns a car with a manual transmission. The last was a friend-of-a-friend of mine who sold his WRX about 10 years ago. There’s just no point any more.

Looks fantastic, seemingly well maintained, would be a lot of fun to cruise around in... if it were an automatic; I can’t understand the draw of a manual in a car like this. But NP anyway. Somebody will buy it.

How’s the trunk space? I had considered buying an S3 a while back, but instead I bought a Mustang GT because, for a similar price, it had better performance, more trunk space, an essentially just-as-usable back seat, and just as nice of an interior. I just couldn’t justify it.

One of the most beautiful cars of the 21st Century; actually fun to drive in SRT guise; the interior didn’t live up to the exterior and nobody was buying 2-seat coupes. But my God, it’s an art deco masterpiece.

Anything is liquid if you can borrow against it. And the article says there are only 100 gigayachts in the world. There are your billionaires.

If it weren’t for Tim Duncan he would have had to settle for a Bay Cruiser.

Disagree in this context. You could have a “unique” engine in the sense that every Bugatti will have turbocharged 1.0 liter straight-8 plug-in hybrid setup with a 20,000 rpm redline and 1,500 hp. Or, you could have a “very unique” engine program in which 100 Bugattis will be produced, each one of which will have a…

“Going in the opposite direction of what everybody expects” implies that it will be a rear-engined, front-wheel-drive mild hybrid. I’m guessing a 120 hp mass-market Prius competitor.

I would prefer not to.

Looking on the bright side, if first-gen Nissan Leafs with their 50-mile range on degraded batteries are anything to go by, these low-range electric vehicles are going to be priced like hot garbage on the used market, and will eventually actually allow people to dip their toes into the EV ecosystem at “why not?”…

This is my stopping point. I absolutely will not ever, under any circumstances, pay a subscription fee for a car that I own. No way, no how, not a chance, never happening. I’m not paying for a data connection for the infotainment system to log on to the internet. I’m not paying every month for heated seats. I’m not…
