This is so true. Remember those expensive in-car DVD infotainment systems that were expensive? Well those were all replaced with $300 tablets.

I agree in concept that a really great FWD car can be a sports car (I have done some pretty great things in Minis) but fundamentally and personally, I need the rear end to powersteer in order to really feel in control of the car. I guess my first experience with a sports car was the ultimate sports car (my dad’s…
A sports car has two doors, is RWD, and is fairly lightweight (at least compared to the competition) so I agree there should be no Sedans (TL, Civic), FWD (also TL, civic), or heavy (GTO) cars on this list.
While electric cars are statistically no more likely to catch fire than gas-powered models, this is already the third blaze to hit Tesla’s Cybertruck since the ridiculous contraption launched at the end of last year.
I want to get back to the track and an E36 M3 is on the list.
Yes, this is 100% true. An M5 owner likely has something like a 718 or a smaller, lighter M car.
That’s a great deal. There is a 2023 M60 demo not far from me that I might take a swing at. It’s the only way to get the air suspension since I can’t seem to find any 50's with that option.
It is no surprise that track enthusiasts don’t want to shuffle a car well over 2 tons (soon to be over 2.5 tons) around a race track and instead prefer lighter, smaller cars. Sure, a car with a big V8 and effortless power and torque is fun for a few laps until the car eats through a set of brake pads and puts…
You can buy a one or two year old, near $100K iX for a little over $40K right now so you are 100% spot on to be excited about picking up some great used EVs over the next few years.
Yeah, I’m not surprised by this at all. You can go out and lease a 6-figure EV from Merc, BMW, or Audi for around $700 per month and a few thousand down compared to about twice that for the gas version. The tax benefits and extreme discounts are excellent.
Sure, naked nuggets are excellent car snacks but if you are a dipper like me, it can sometimes be a tricky experience. Back when I ate meat and used to drive between DC and NY on a regular basis, I would stop at a Chick Fila to grab some takeout to eat in the car on my way back home. I always tried to position the…
This story certainly reinforces automotive stereotypes, doesn’t it?
Yeah, my 2002 M5 gets about 23 mpg downhill but it only gets driven a few thousand miles per year. Sadly I had a VW Atlas rental car last year that got about the same highway MPG which is pretty terrible for a modern SUV and is another reason not to ditch my diesel family hauler.
I came from a world of performance cars that were lucky to get above 25 mpg on the highway and now I have an A7 PHEV that has averaged about 70 mpg over 3.5 years of use and an X5 diesel that manages 33+ mpg on the highway. I can’t wait to replace the PHEV with a full BEV and while I will likely keep the X5 for a long…
I was on a flight with my family last year where this neurotic flyer was constantly using a cannabis vape throughout the flight. I’m no prude but vaping anything in a confined space, especially in a space with children, old folks, and recirculated air, is a huge no-no. Somehow the flight attendants didn’t pick up on…
Lifting a vehicle to the extent that its bumper sits higher than a bumper of a typical road-legal vehicle. This makes the road significantly less safe for non-lifted vehicles since the lifted vehicles no longer have crumple zones to help absorb the impact. When combined with large, wide offroad tires, it compounds…

Apparently NATO already has special weaponry (a few garden hoses) on the way to the Ukranian army to combat this cybertruck technical.
Even their European brands are doing terribly. Maserati hasn’t made a desirable car since it revitalized the Gran Turismo and Quattroporte - the Ghibli and other recent models have been huge flops. I currently have a Tonale rental in Italy right now and while it handles better the more you push it, there is no way I…
And let’s not forget the shoe bomber guy.
