The tip curves up for her extra pleasure?

Has anyone thought of building a trailer that houses extra batteries, then pulling it behind an electric car like your P85? As a ranged extender?

I feel like we hardly ever see that anymore, too much concern over cars touching cars, too much expense, too many chances for driver – endangering accidents. We live in overly safe and litigious times!

Yeah but… A ticket could not cost more than whatever slamming into a field of gravel does to the underside of a Tempo.

Let’s not forget that this is a family sedan, people. It can seat up to seven in quiet, (semi) luxurious comfort with zero emissions. It’s beyond me why some are still comparing this to two-seat million dollar hypercars.

Are you saying a GT/R is less of an appliance then a Tesla?

My girlfriend wanted a new Civic as her first car. I went with her, but we ended up leaving the Honda dealership in a six-year-old 325i. That car just felt so much more substantial at the time, more fun to drive, and it felt built like a tank compared to the Honda. The BMW seems like a great idea for a while, but…

Or… They buy a “luxury” brand when they finally can, soon realize it’s giving them headaches reliability-wise, and abandon it for something more reliable. My friend wanted nothing more than to buy Audis forever after his first A4, but that car caused him so much anguish that he bought a Toyota.

The best example of this is Land Rover. It’s like they just don’t care how long their vehicle last out of warranty, they know their clientele will upgrade. And they’ve done very well with that business model, even though the rest of us, who can only afford a used one anyway, laugh at the reliability of four-year-old…

Agreed. I feel like Mercedes and the others are shooting themselves in the foot by producing cars that will simply not be on the road in great numbers in 20+ years. When I was a kid and I saw a 200 D, I wanted to grow up and buy a Mercedes. Now I know better, I know the whole brand has reliability issues, and I no…

And this is now the new face of Top Gear.

I’m pretty this client wanted a Caprice, only a much more awesome Caprice. Hence the almost stock, at least from afar, appearance. We might think he's a weirdo but I can appreciate it.

Agreed, but I’m pretty sure he wants people to just get out of his way. The sleeper at the front of the traffic line sounds good to me!

Junkies in my old neighborhood in Vancouver used to break into my Sirocco all the time just to look for spare change. They never took anything else of value that was in plain sight – CDs, stereo, etc. It got to be so annoying that eventually I just left the center console open and the doors unlocked so they could see…

I went from two car seats to two booster seats as the kids aged, and no complaints so far. I can see as they get bigger they might complain, but hey, their bodies are young and nimble – they’ll be OK. ;)

As another LA guy, I totally agree with your figures. It makes sense when you're sitting in traffic and your average speed after a full tank of gas is something like 15 mph. Ah LA

Two weeks ago I was hit by a Mercedes while crossing the street at a crosswalk. She never took her eyes off the phone in her lap. The first time she saw me was when I was on her hood. I was pretty lucky, with minimal injuries, but I really hope either party will ever think about texting while driving again.
