I couldn’t agree more and furthermore, I feel like all these electronic nannies make bad drivers feel complacent about not being attentive and makes things worse on the road for everybody.

France is not part of a country, it is the country, 75+% of the population is against what the government is doing. The government should be moving, they are supposed to serve and are failing at the most basic level.

Almost none of the french people have guns... Guns are not needed and in this case, they would have made things so much worse.

I’m not talking about a less-regulated economy, just a less tax burdenned one. The yellow vests are basically asking for more money at the end of the month (or the 15th). There are only two ways for this to happen : increase in salary which because of the taxes on each salary is never going to happen or less taxes on…

Global warming will not be stopped by taxes nor electric cars with wall powered batteries. This is more of a “so much for the political approach to global warming”

It should be way more present in this article that the fuel taxes is just the tip of the issue and that the government defied the population.

My 2009 Mini Cooper S convertible (R57) had no limitations and the top would always go down... HOWEVER, if it was around 0°C or below, coming up was a whole other story, I had to insist, it would go a little up and fall back down, do this 10 to 20 times to heat up the mechanism and voila, you have the roof up, lost 20…

US car prices for non US brands always baffled me (cheap compared to europe, even excluding VAT). I’d bet good money most of nissan’s profits in europe come from the qashqai

I predict he will be convicted of something that prevents him from being ceo/chairman in japan and the the French government will keep him on at Renault.

you’re forgetting european models that sell like hotcakes, like the qashqai that every single couple with a new born buys if the can afford it, I know of five around me...

after years of complaints from every side that he shouldn’t be the head of both companies (+ mitsubishi recently), it seems like the japanese have the perfect opportunity to take him out of nissan and he might be out of the other two if he has a moral clause in his contracts.

From experience, get the best wire you can, you’ll see a notable difference in the result.

Considering st tropez is where every rich in the world that doesn’t have a super/mega/giga yacht wants to be seen, it doesn’t surprise me that its also the place where the most motivated burglars are...

I feel it looks a lot like the amg gt....

This is not so much a reward as declaring open season on the thief and/or whoever has the car...

I’d love to end up next to one at a red light and race it with my 2008 brabus exclusive (in stock form) that apears to be faster to 60 (given for 8.8s)...

Well I’ll find out soon enough about those...

Its got around 160 000 Miles (250 000km) and the rod bearings seem ok...

Considered an Audi or two, went on the forums, gave up...

Just for the giggles, I asked my local BMW dealer how much it would cost to change the timing chain and guides... I’ve got an estimate that translates to about 5300$....
