My guess is that most of these “Porsche fans” posting negatively online have never actually driven or owned a Porsche and are either just there to complain and/or argue or are biased against anything they perceive as change or progress. The hybrid 992.2, like most other “controversial” 911s, will sell like hotcakes…

This is awesome info!  Thanks for posting this.  I remember the effect of weight loss on performance from my time spent wrenching virtually on the original Gran Turismo.

With enough flex seal, you can flip this thing on its roof, chop off the floorpan and batteries, strap on an outboard motor, and have nice little lake fishing boat.

The entire brand went downhill when MB sold its stake in the company nearly two decades ago. Remember when their large RWD cars (300, Charger, Challenger) were new and heavily based on Merc E and S-class components? Remember when the first body-on-frame Jeep Grand Cherokee went to finishing school because of its…

Tesla prefers to rely on computer programmers instead of mechanical and electrical engineers to get their products to work.

Well, given that the “brand new” body panels look like they came from a 25-year-old work truck, I’m not surprised the wiring is similarly compromised.

I came here to say the same thing, thank you. I recall in the mid nineties when my granddad was excited to show me his new GPS-based autopilot system and did just that. You set the heading, speed, and trim, and the autopilot held the course. Compared to today’s systems, it seems very rudimentary but at the time it was…

Even if the autopilot lie were true, wouldn’t anyone with basic boating knowledge (or even basic common sense) think to override the system if the boat was too close to the shore?  We have all made small mistakes when boating but getting too close to the shore is a big no-no.

I say this as someone with lots of wrenching experience on this era of mid to full size BMWs and also with an excellent and reasonably priced indie German auto mechanic but this is nice price all the way.  I have a 10 year old X5 diesel with almost 150K miles on the clock that has virtually no rattles or squeaks,…

I saw an XM in the flesh for the first time at a BMW sneak preview event last year and it has haunted my dreams ever since. Everything I read about it questions why anyone would buy an XM over an X5M which costs $30K less, is a hair quicker to 60, weighs half a ton less, and of course has much better looks. If…

This sounds like an old-school episode of Wheeler Dealers, back when Edd was the mechanic and before Discovery ruined the show.  I bet Mike would have shifted it for around $5K.

For around $12K, I could pick up a 335d M-Sport and while I would have to be careful evaluating the car for deferred maintenance issues and aware of potential issues during ownership, it would be a great blend of sportiness, decent power/acceleration, and incredible fuel economy. Fortunately, I have plenty of…

The interior looks very cramped for an executive saloon.  That fat guy with his huge basketball-sized head can barely fit in the passenger seat. If he had a regular-sized head, he would be 10" shorter. Even 5'-o” Putin looks huge in there but maybe his seat is as far up and forward as possible.

It’s a great way to draw attention to the wrinkled, blobby-looking panels.  

It could be worse. I am sure some youtube/tiktok assholes will rattle-can paint their $100K Cybertruck to get more views.  

Yeah, I have a mechanical engineering background and when I hear about Tesla’s design decisions, they typically make me cringe. Trying to design a lifted truck suspension based on a car suspension and relying on air bags and software is one of those decisions and the overly complex and tragically flawed supercar…

A Tesla sports car doesn’t have to top the Cybertruck with ridiculous features that don’t matter to sports car buyers (kind of like how we were promised all sorts of features on the Cybertruck that typical truck buyers don’t care about), if they just made a light weight, nimble, and fast vehicle it would be a huge…

Probably not because like the police, they have a very strong union backing them.

People have so much fuck you money these days, it blows my mind. I watched a show on Netflix last night that featured rare collectibles. I remember 15-20 years ago after the market for sports collectibles found out and cards and jerseys were barely worth the cost of their materials and now people are paying 6-figures…

You are correct - the metro was open until 2-3 AM on weekends (depending on the station location) and the taxi drivers used to take advantage of the zoning system but I believe the zoning system was replaced by metered fares about 20 years ago which was a huge improvement but the zones still kicked in if you had to go…
