The BMW E60 M5 was only offered with a manual in the US. Part of me thinks Europe deserved more than the automatic-only version they got in their markets. The other part of me says nah...they get all the good stuff. Maybe we keep this one for ourselves.

Touché

That’s what I enjoy about loot games like Borderlands: all the fun of a RNG upgrade, no crafting required.

That’s the one thing I am most looking forward to with the transition to EVs: a drastic reduction in noise pollution.

There are two things that frighten me even more than stagnation: monetization and always-online requirements.

You are right, of course, but someone needs to tell Hyundai/KN/Genesis:

This was literally the first thing that came to my mind. Why can’t we have it in the US? Because we can’t have nice things, apparently.

The Genesis G70 Shooting Brake. The sedan looks good, don’t get me wrong, but this thing just looks...wow.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll take a look!

I’m finding that the older I get, the more cold averse I become. I also get cheaper (ahem...”frugal”) every year, and inflation surely isn’t helping matters.

Just so I’m clear, the second paragraph says “The disaster occurred shortly after take off”, but in the next paragraph “The plane was coming in for a landing before the aircraft dropped from 385 feet into the lake”. Did it crash after taking off or as it was trying to land?

All of the three-wheeled cars OF THE FUTURE!, from companies that make unrealistic promises and will happily take your money for vaporware that will likely never see the light of day. Fellow humans, I present to you the Elio and Aptera.

The biggest I would ever go is a Bugatti Chiron.

I am your stereotypical divorced father in their 40's enjoying the apartment life. So, Mini Cooper? Smart Car? CangLi EV? Ha! Gargantuan. I might as well get a Hummer EV at that point. I have no need of big box stores, Home Depot, or carting people about anymore.

Mercedes R 63 AMG. Costco and soccer practice runs? Check. Taking a nap sprawled out in the back seat? Check. Flying under the radar of the law? Check. 0-60 in 4.2 seconds? Also check.

That was pretty funny, but my personal favorite game commercial will always be the Tim & Eric commercial for Saints Row 3:

P.S. I did not make this collage, so please ignore the RWD TA.  It was the best one I could find.

Sure, why not? I owned a ‘95 Neon coupe, reliability issues and all. There were some real good ones, too many to list...

The FWD “sporty” coupe w/manual transmission, especially what was on offer in the 90's. Not every teenager can (or should) have access to a beast like a Mustang or Porsche. Sometimes the best a 16 year old can do is to walk the walk, even if the car is all show and no go. Sure, there is a small smattering of…

Well, Costco will have the Series S for $240 for Black Friday, so grab ‘em at that price while you can.
