Not to mention that most high power sportbikes have, you know, windshields, and anyone going over 100 with any frequency is in full armor.

Hey man I’m not a McLaren engineer

I loved when they asked the McLaren engineers about how the elva would deal with an acorn that bounced off the tarmac and they basically said it would kill you. Some things just don’t need to exist.

rolls royce got paid $28m and couldn’t find a few hundred to buy a fucking steadicam for these pan shots? honestly this looks like it was shot by a monkey who figured out how to use an iphone.

When I drove 4000 miles a year, no not really (RX-8, which has its own “features” for additional running costs)

Let’s slow down. “IF” you didn’t spring for the option package that included the nav. Given those packages are usually like $5k, your average leasee is better off paying the $850/yr, especially because Audi will probably include it anyways as an incentive. Hell, if you’re gonna own the car for 5 years you’re probably…

“Have you purchased a car from one of these posts? If so, I want to know.”

this just happened to me. i bought an A3 that had been sitting for 4-5 months in september for a great price, it got totaled in december, and by january when they had to comp it out i managed to walk away with my deductible and over $2k in cash. now i have an s3, so everyone wins (including my insurance with their…

Which C&C? I’m in the area. 

Easy way to get them to stop shooting at you

If that’s the first car you can afford, it’s also the only car you can afford on there at the moment. They had like a 2013 A4 the other week. It’s really enjoyable to see the one or two random “we’ll throw....... this one in for your daughter if you buy the CCX”

Seriously, they have a MC12 sandwiched between two different 8c’s on their website right now.

This must be at Miller Motorcars. The used car section on their website is hilarious. They keep Cullinans in the back lot. “Oh the 812? Yeah we got some new inventory in. Move that to the garage, we’ll put the Huyara in the side lot so we can put the DB4 Zagato in front”

I work tangentially to the insurance business (not auto, but still) and it bothers me immensely that mitigating the carrier’s risk too often is the responsibility of the insured. In some cases it makes sense (i.e. if you have a huge hole in your roof, you can’t just say you want a settlement before you put a tarp over…

Hey here’s an idea, Geico buys all the vests and charges you for them in your premium, if the manufacturer can remote activate/deactivate it they should be able to confirm to Geico that you wear it and then they credit you back $12/mo on your premium.

YOLO: buy a Maserati spyder and save $5-10k for maintenance

It’s hard to say if people would rather say “I see they’re back to their old tricks” or “I see they’re still up to their old tricks”. Let’s not pretend Ford didn’t have massive quality and rust issues that were only “figured out” within fewer years than I can count on both hands. Credit where credit is due though:…

Without trying to sound like I’m 70, it doesn’t sound like you were around at the time. The GTI went from being a relatively affordable and tunable lightweight car with decent reliability to the then-untunable and unreliable 2.0 in a car that was 600 pounds heavier. Plus the body lines were definitely, shall we say, mo…

I knew far more VW tuners than Honda tuners when I was growing up and that was during/after the early F&F’s. I don’t think F&F vastly changed preferences for people who are currently in their 30's, but it might have for people in their 20's. Tuning in general is just on a significant decline, because a base 1.5T…
