I guess at least it doesn’t look like a jellybean/butt plug like the rest of the lineup.  It is fairly low-slung and sporty-looking.  The interior is sparse to say the least.

While it seems like Trump is completely out of touch, in reality he has been stroking out for the past decade or so.

It looks better less terrible with the plastic protection still on the stainless steel body panels.

It really depends on how you define ugly. Some cars are boring and generic like every Tesla available today except for the Model S and the Mercedes electric jellybean sedans. And then you have vehicles that are overwrought messes like the Cybertruck, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and, as others have mentioned the XM and iX (I…

This one hurts a little bit. If it looked like an X5 with a smooth grille, there would be one sitting in my driveway right now instead of my ageing X5 diesel. I had a chance to test out the M60 version and it definitely drives and feels way better than it looks.

I am in commercial real estate and it kills me every time I see acres of warehouses and parking lots without solar panels. I dream of someday owning large warehouses like that and filling the roofs with solar panels to help the environment and also create extra cash flow for the property. In states with regulated…

Those things are all relatively easy to figure out and the design can be somewhat standardized across different locations with different soil conditions.  It becomes more challenging when the solar canopies are mounted on rooftops that are higher up in the air as the wind tends to be stronger and will apply more lift…

Wow, that person does not have good judgement. I wonder what else they are doing wrong.

I dunno, that seems a bit slow to me and the ID.4 is lower to the ground and likely has a smaller coefficient of drag.  I feel like 300-400 hp is a better fit for a larger vehicle like this.

Oh damn, I’m sure that wasn’t a fun conversation.

I unfortunately never had a chance to own a 3 series but have driven every model since the E36 over the years either on test drives (I almost bought a 335 M-Sport back in 2014) or borrowing/trying out cars from friends and family members. The X3/4M comps were extended test drives and track time at BMW events.

Damn, that is terrifying, especially since it is somewhat out of your control.  I hope your neighbor ultimately listened to you.

While I always like a good RWD powertrain, I question whether these specs are sufficient for a vehicle that ways 2.5 tons. The electric motor in my PHEV is down by about 60 hp but it has about the same torque, weighs a few hundred pounds less, and has a much lower drag coefficient. In full EV mode, the decent torque…

Now lower the ride height by several inches and it will be perfect.  It would be nice to see a few more larger luxury hatchbacks out there on the market.

My anxiety levels would be through the roof after pickup. Not because of a random occurrence (ie spontaneous combustion) but for fear that some asshole might crash into me and create a spark that ignites the gas. I guess I learned to respect the gas back from my machine shop days.

I have definitely seen people smoking at gas stations from time to time but fortunately I have never seen someone holding the cigarette close to the filler cap, right where those flammable vapors like to linger.  The most recent gas station smoker I saw was clearly horribly addicted as he was coughing, wheezing, and…

That is also an excellent suggestion.

Yeah, I am relieved that I have several options within a 10 minute drive.

What the actual fuck was this person thinking? If they were unaware of the propane tank in the back, what the actual fuck was the person who left it there thinking?

Oh man, don’t get me started on those shops. I have had people ask me if a 20% interest rate is good since the $500 per month payments are “affordable” which always leads to me boring them with a crash course in basic finance. When I was on the market for a beater STi (one I could get for cheap knowing it likely…
