Russia just stole the election for Trump and we’re not supposed to worry that the keyfobalizer hasn’t made it physically to this side of the pond yet? I’m going to start using the physical key to get in my car. Luckily the car has a proximity/capacitative touch facility that means I don’t have to beam the signal far &…

... to pull the parking brake.

Why, thank you! Yours is particularly apropos to the above image! ;-)

That’s good!

The biggest Jeremy Clarkson head ... In The World.

If it says ‘Florida’ on the tin, you can be assured of the contents! (That should be their state slogan, or something.)

If anyone told me their “pickup agent will come for thee” I’d be gone like a rat out of an aqueduct. He’d probably turn up with a bowl of salmon mousse...

“I want him to achieve,” she said. “He might not be able to do everything all at once, but as long as he progresses and shows that he’s trying, making an effort, okay. But I will hold him to some of those promises.”

File to Basket Of Douches. Other than the heir line, if you will, why does anyone at Jalopnik care about this? Idle billionaire scions will do what idle billionaire scions do...

I think this is the last hurrah of three of the oldest schoolboys ... in the world. I haven’t heard, but I don’t think that the Grand Tour is meant to run to ten seasons. I believe it’s a farewell tour with, as you say, a metric fuckton of Amazon cash (*my*!! cash, paid for with my Prime membership for which I hardly…

Nor I. I just thought it was a bit risky, but since it didn’t roll I’m probably being too much ye olde wet blanket.

Aha! Now I see the problem. It’s terminal understeer, which no doubt Cars & Coffee leavers overcome by dialing-in massive oversteer to try and correct. A few more iterations, and maybe a little less coffee, and I think we’ll have this issue fixed!

That looks awfully precarious to me. Had they managed to roll the armored vee hickle there would have been several smushed douchey politicians. And a smushed Mercedes.

“oh, merde.”

That may well be! I have never watched Friends (although I’m aware of it) so I would have missed that connection.

The sandwich was a unique, and I thought, inspired, everyman 911R touch. It may not have cupholders, but there is space for a sarnie. Brilliant.

“The 911R is all about giving back driving to the driver.”

Those of us who love 911s and have run them on track know that the idiosyncratic layout that we have come to cherish is, how should I say ... stoopid! It’s amazing that the rear engine layout works as well as it does, but when you finally lose the back end - and you will! - well, Porsche didn’t manage to alter the…

Wow, this turned into quite an amazing thread. First off, as only one of the financial geniuses in this thread noted, this story is from Sydney, Australia. Australia has massive import duties on cars to try and protect its domestic market. Cars are at least twice as expensive in nominal terms as the US and exotics…

I had a 993 before the 996. There’s not a lot in it. The 996 drives way better, like one car instead of half an understeery one welded to half a very oversteery one. But you’d expect that. The 991 is dynamically better than the 997 and 996 but they’ve just lost the tactile immediacy of the older cars.
