I fail to see the problem.

I think you got your units backwards.
A 3330 Lb car would have 33,300 hp by that metric

Does it matter?  Go read their article and tape their picture up in the bathroom if you like it so much

Also, a trashed location feels fitting for what appears to be a super trashy operation. 

you understand that to do that would require them to acquire new licensing for a one off image which would likely need to go through a buying department and take multiple days...instead of just using the image library they already have a license for and getting the article out in a timely manner. Journalism requires…

Qanon warned us about the danger of groomers.

Go for an afternoon walk through NYC streets.  You’ll figure it out pretty damn quick.  And possibly die.

The same guy who has no problem running redlights with his license plate obscured, is likely the same guy would do a hit and run.

I would imagine the risk goes beyond ticketing camera systems, but rather possible obscuring plates to help impede an investigation. While we are not saying the person in question is doing stuff, but others have done similar things as a means of evading surveillance systems and witnesses. Out here, when people get…

You see, the reason is very simple - I’ve been driving a car for 20 years and nothing has ever covered my license plate. When someone does it on purpose, they do it for a reason. It wasn’t a coincidence. And considering how many complete assholes there are in the world, your attitude is like being complicit because…

That means you can drive around speeding, running red lights and using all the bridges and tunnels for free. But let’s just skip those for now and think about what happens when there are hit and run…

These are the people who run lights and speed without consideration. I assure you that they are just as dangerous as the asshats in Altimas.

What’s the over-under on this being a NYPD employee or relative of one?

all that work, and they couldnt figure out how to put that intake somewhere else?

When it comes to customer support and admitting their cars are garbage, there is no more arrogant manufacturer than Hyundai. Do. Not. Buy. Them.  You’ll thank me later.

It might be rare, but it is still a 250k Audi with dents and missing paint.  $5k max. 

An S4 Avant in Imola Yellow is pretty high up on the list of Audis I would love to have. I’m just not sure I want this one.

saw its timing belt replaced at 226K

To be honest, I don’t care how much maintenance has been done; I’m seriously concerned about how much more maintenance will need to be done.
