First Gen modern MINI the R50/53. BMW should have done their own engines, but the handling and design was spot on.

As a Fiero owner I support this comment.  

I am a Surface lover.  I absolutely HATE with a passion the docking station they currently sell.  I have 3 of them for different work environments and they all have terrible quality and issues.  If they all has the same issue I would be upset but find a solution.  They each have different issues.  One refuses to allow…

Interesting. I went with the just buy a cheap ass old camper that you wouldn’t bat an eye if it fell off the back and disappeared.  So far mine has bushwacked into areas I wouldn’t consider taking anything costing this much.  Over the winter mine might get a hillbilly lift kit to help it go even deeper next summer.  

The goal post shape makes sense, BUT make it so the fucking thing can be opened in halves.  Let me open my side without my passenger lifting their arm off their arm rest.  THAT would be awesome and useful.  This fucking thing makes no sense.  

What is the origin of California Special?  I always assumed it was some de-tuned version to meet California standards. 

This just in, the Governor changed his mind after someone said this might have been a very late term abortion.  He is now asking that the teen be killed on a cross during his state of the state address to make sure the whole state understands how things work in Texas.  (sarcasm) 

My guess is the discounts are making them attractive now. These are amazingly nice cars, just not aligned with what most people want these days.

I like it. Also this is terrible:

FB pays programmers to get people to stay on the site. To afford to do this they need to sell more ads. Maybe just allow users to connect with their friends and instead of some program filtering and prioritizing things, just give us a list of the comments from the people we are connected to. Like FB without an…

Agree, especially on:

What they meant to say is my client is white and rich so lol to anything happening to him.  

Exactly. I am working on a Fiero that is getting a K20. When asked about a stereo I explain a bluetooth speaker and a nice mount for my phone is the correct answer for this project and 99% of cars.

I have yet to read a review of this (or any of the VW E vehicles) that doesn’t mention the screen controlling everything being a complete pain to use. This is the first review I have read where the reviewer doesn’t note having to turn it off and back on again to get it to work.

Agree with everything you said.  I think if he waits a lap or 2 he can put a move on Lewis in a turn and get around him.  I think Max has the better car, if he just uses it correctly he can pass a Mercedes.

I would love to see Lewis, Max, Lando, and LeClerc all in competitive cars next year. They are all talented and have a variety of personalities that would be a ton of fun to see all mixed together.

BMW engineers clearly saw the Tesla and came to the conclusion that people really want terrible interiors. I can’t come up with another explanation for those cup holders.  Every single Tesla I have been in has had hilarious interior flaws for an economy car let alone a car this expensive. 

I am a Lewis fan. My money is on Lewis just because he has done it and his car is competitive enough. Max talks a good game, but the last 2 crashes hurt him in the points. I do not know if he understands that he has the better car and doesn’t need to pass in difficult situations. I fully believe that he would have…

GTI might be faster, but they understeer terribly (have not driven a MK7) and the Si with a LSD pulls out of corners much better.  I have driven a MK5 back to back on the same autoX course and the Civic was slightly slower, but much more fun.

As long as they keep selling it with a stick and a LSD these are a ton of fun. My wife has a 2012 and it handles miles better than a GTI. It also is a Honda so it has been bulletproof even with me autoXing it and hitting the rev limiter regularly.
