It’s not even worth it if you track the car regularly. In fact, a centerlock wheel is terrible for an unsupported track day because they can’t be removed/installed with regular hand tools. You typically need an enormous torque wrench/breaker bar and/or a very fancy air impact. It only makes sense if it’s an actual…

You missed the Z4 M40i Handschalter 

I would pick the Taycan even if it was a base model

It looks like a Civic Type R that was dragged through every aisle of an AutoZone.

But then it would be way worse and not sell as well

There’s no other answer. Shortest slideshow in Jalopnik history.

You think that’s bad? You can get the potentially deadly C. Difficile from touching the drive mode knob. And that’s when you already have an STI!

“Sora Lee makes a measly salary of $400,000 per year as head of marketing for TikTok It gets worse, that salary combined with her investment portfolio only gives her a net worth of about $843,000. Times are tough right now for social media executives.”

Sad to say, but the owner probably got the best possible outcome there —- insurance pays her to replace a vehicle that has terrifying depreciation. It’s the only way she’d ever get close to her money back. 

Yeah, it’ll almost certainly simply stall the engine with no regard to gearing or clutch engagement. Fancy downshifting as a driver is always secondary to first avoiding imminent danger.

I’m just confused on this “his” decisions and “my” decisions regarding large financial decisions. I know not all married couples have combined finances, but the idea that a married person makes such a big financial decision in a vacuum is just silly. If you have your car repo’ed and your credit score takes a big hit,…

The upcoming BMW M3 or M5 wagon. Has to be automatic in case I age to the point that body decides it can’t push a clutch pedal anymore.

I’ve only ever seen it in person once on the M4 and it happened to be right as the winter sun low in the sky was lighting up the entire driver’s side while it was street parked. I was blown away. Never seen a blue so striking before.

For Blue, BMW’s San Marino Blue. You just want to dive in.

You are wrong.

E61 M5 Touring. 2032 cannot get here fast enough.

This is an obvious one... People who do not understand the idea of what a passing lane is. There is no such thing as a “fast lane” in the US. The left lane is for passing, so yes you need to go faster than the guy in the right lane... but it’s a fucking passing lane nonetheless. If you are cruising at a steady 70mph…

E46 with the SMG. Not only was it horrifically unreliable and terrible to drive, it also made finding an actual 3 pedal E46 difficult, since every website and used car lot listed it as “manual”.
