COTD!

BMW needs to drop in the inline 6 from their K1600 motorcycle into the next i8.

The Germans are wary of people fucking with 2.7% of their country’s GDP which means less jobs for their union membership. VW is also partially owned by the state of Saxony, so the state is not happy, either.

Dear god, why? This is the worst of all worlds. This thing has less mobility than a real Goldwing and less protection and comfort than a real Focus.

I find your comment insulting to trained monkeys. Bob exhibits traits similar to a parasite or virus.

I’ll bring the Costco sized Cheetos.

Sure, “stepping down” as in getting a call from the White House and getting his ass fired by Obama.

That fucker deserves his own level in hell. Nardelli would have caused less damage to Chrysler if he just did not show up to work and have a trained monkey run the company as CEO.

I nominate these two assholes, Rick Wagoneer and Bob Nardelli. Nothing tops being fired by the President of the United States of America for bankrupting 2/3 of America’s automotive industry and is the rare case where both Democrats and Republicans agree they hate these screw-ups.

Or say you did not do laundry. It’s true! [wink, wink]

I can attest that his idea really works. Disinformation is the best!

Good to know! I would get one when the price comes down below $5K. However, I think I will forgo the Abarth and get a regular 500 (w/o turbo) for ease of maintenance.

Wise man, my ass.

It is even worse if your neighbors are bat shit crazy and have no morals.

Here is the thing about rent vs buy: the rent covers all costs regardless who does the paying. That appliance that the landlord replaces is covered by rent. So is that leaky roof, utilities, water, garbage, etc. There is no free lunch.

I’ll pick the Lotus Elan (M100) since the Miata will be everyone’s first choice. Sure, it is FWD. However, it houses a Lotus tuned engine, handling that makes you forget about torque steer (if you believe criticism on wikipedia that the car handled TOO predictably) , and a timeless design that turns heads in any…

Can filling up with biodiesel help with the emissions?

This is a big gamble especially in CA. The car nazis (CARB) might convince the CA legislature to restrict owners from registering their TDI’s until they prove they participated with the recall or force insurers not to insure those cars not fixed by the recall.

I have still never come across a Previa with AWD, supercharger and manual. The closest I found was AWD with manual. Does this mythical unicorn even exist on US shores?

I attribute your observation to driver error. Don’t blame the car.
