My biggest gripe with the styling also. Especially the way all the seems look on lighter colored cars.

Toyota: We made these fake vents for tuners to open up

Is it just me, or given McLarens very quick design cycles, does this already kinda look outdated before it’s even launched?

Lost me at “Honorable Lindsay Graham”

The grille is big, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s among the smaller in its class. Obviously the Cayanne is smaller (does it even have a “grille” in a design sense?). GLS and XC90 may be smaller, but not by much probably. Q7, Bentayga, Navigator, Escalade, Cullinan, all bigger I think.

Oh my god, yes.  I started working for a Canadian company last year and during my trip there I found out about the whole bring “the machine” to you.  It’s so much better, and faster!  And when you don’t need a receipt, most allow you to choose not to even print one, which is awesome.

Patriots fan here.

Right, isn’t that how his NFL career ended too?

To me it sounds like a heat shield or something that is too close to another part. One anchored to the engine, one on the chassis. Movement of the engine on its mounts is somewhat random, so contact is only made occasionally.

I’m pretty sure it’s more because the launch was on the chassis, not the wheels.  When cars go off ramps, the front wheel leave, start to fall with gravity while the rears keep going up on the ramp.  This was just a constant up motion on the chassis evenly.

When it someone going to make a turbocharged car with ITBs?

They should put a dreidel over the U in Tunnel

Actually yes, maybe?

They shouldn’t even bother talking about the actual compounds outside of the garage. Nobody but the Pirelli and team engineers should give a shit with actual compound they are using. It’s irrelevant.

He’s just used to the weight of a 10 ruble coin.

No ID required!

I randomly got a new plate in Florida a couple years ago, without explanation. My old plate was GPI9M (random number, logo plate so only 5 characters). Is there something offensive I don’t see? Had it for maybe 12 years. I couldn’t find any reason online about expiration of a certain number of years or anything. I

I think you also have to be able to ride in it for it to be a car.

If being an American in the 21st century has taught me anything, it’s that Thoughts and Prayers® are plenty, and actual action is not required, right? So why aren’t they satisfied?
