For me, a good 1/3rd of what makes a great sports car or supercar is the sound. 1/3rd sound, 1/3rd beauty, 1/3rd performance. Losing the naturally aspirated 6 sound is a tragedy IMO. Yes 4cyl turboengines can sound good, but IMO not as good as a larger NA engine.

I mean just look at a car like the Lotus Evora. It’s got…

Toyota makes one of the best sounding engines out there!

The Camry V6.

Too bad it’s not actually in a Toyota to sound that good. Just listen to the Lotus Evora 400 or an older Evora with one or two of the cats eliminated. Beautiful sound for such an affordable “supercar.”

But he took my property! I can shoot him because this is Texas and he took my property! Yee-haw!

Is it weird that I’m really jealous of that cat? That just looks like so much fun, yet so relaxing at the same time.

Totally under-referenced movie. I love it.

Italian Job throwback, just some crazy build though.

But by the time that vehicle is ready to pass on to a child, it will be relatively unsafe compared to cars 10 or 15 years newer.

I’m so confused by what I’m seeing.

Cage - Check
HANS - Check
Harness - Check
Gloves - Check

T-Shirt and running pants - Check?

I mean, if you are going to go as far as getting a HANS device, at least wear some lightweight coveralls or something.

No I’m not bagging on the guy, I’m sure he was within the track rules, it just…

The blank area doesn’t bother me much, it’s just the shape of it. I do wish that little Tesla badge shaped tiny grille thing was just a tiny bit bigger, but it’s not too bad. Many of us live in states with required front plates and that area will be partially filled by a license plate anyways.

Okay, I need some clarification here. I’m sure that Tesla’s design team have went with this stub-nose flat look in the front for a reason, and I’m going to guess it wasn’t for beauty, because it’s ugly as hell. But it’s on all their cars now, so I’m guessing it’s related to aerodynamics. My line of thinking is that…

No. Just... no.

I want to put it on mute, because Kinsey and Kari are making my damn ears bleed. But I want to hear updates at the same time. Ugh.

Until "StanceBros" become an extinct species, I'm not going anywhere near a VW forum. I'm shopping for GTI right now and while I found lots of helpful stuff on there, the rest of it made me want to puke.

But that's a 1-series, the complete opposite of a M6.

There’s a great looking Evo V that has been sitting under my in-laws’ house for about 3 years now, it’s their parking spot but they rent it out (common in Japan). I’ve tried to get them to sell it to me, but the owner is “going to fix it one day” which is BS. They do own two other Mitsubishi vehicles so I know he’s an…

The translated material ends up boiling down to one basic idea, "I really want this chocolate, but I'm worried that I'm going to get fat." Of course there is more to it, but that's the general idea.

“Wasn’t too bad” to one person may be a nightmare to others.

Plenty of people with herpes say “meh, it’s not too bad” but that doesn’t mean I want it.

I don’t drive in downtown Seattle every day, but I do drive in and around the east side (Bellevue, Redmond) 405 and 90 every day, doing it with a manual sucks IMO. Which…

You know that old saying?

If you look around the room and think everyone else is nuts, you might just be the crazy one.

There are plenty of manual transmissions out there for you, they don’t belong in big heavy GT cars now that there are better options.

The M6 I can completely understand. If you are an enthusiast with $120k to spend that wants to shift your own gears, you are most likely going to go for a Porsche 911, probably a GTS. No one bought them because everyone who had the money bought a 911.
