You beat me to it.

Are mandatory neck braces one of the safety features?
No offense, but imo you're smoking crack. The A7 in any trim is a beautiful thing to look at. I literally stare every time I see one. It is to "gran coupes" what the Vantage V8 is to coupes.
This is the only car in VW's current design language I find even remotely interesting. Other than this, I think everything they're putting out looks bland, bland, and more bland.
Yeah, new vs. new they're in different leagues. I picked up mine 3.5 years old with 38K on the odo for much less than the cost of a new MCS JCW, presumably the model that will handle the best. The comparison is valid because there is no cost difference if you go late model used. If you've got $30k to spend on a car,…
I took a break from BMWs to try out a 2007 MCS for about 2 years. I could not ~wait~ to dump it. Now I'm back in RWD land where I belong with a Z4. The handling on the MCS cannot compare. Not even close.
Even if he had, he's Russian. Probably wouldn't have acted any differently.
Try it in either a BMW Z3 or Z4. Impossible. I've tried multiple times in both. Kissing is about all you can do. Can't go down without cracking a rib. Screwing is completely out of the question. My SL500 was surprisingly capable in this regard.
Nope. Nothing gay about that routine at all.
Yeah, saw that one. The previous owner of the bimmer was apparently a consummate nose-picker because the carpet in the driver's footwell was full of what they described as dried human mucous. Mmmmm.
I lived in Massachusetts until I was 25. I've driven through many a bad winter. Since then my snow driving is limited to Tahoe vacations. I never had any accidents, but did get sideways once on a patch of black ice. There are plenty of times in those conditions where you're basically driving everywhere in a controlled…
So you think it's right, when blizzards hit and people need to continue on with their lives, that the state sends out their collectors to go $ka-ching, $ka-ching, $ka-ching, $ka-ching, $ka-ching for every single car that ends up in a snowbank? Or up a curb? Yeah maybe some of them deserve tickets if they're shown to…
Both situations you're using for comparison imply reckless behavior, which was not the case in the original example. Your second example isn't described very well, but yeah if you're going too fast to possibly stop for a red light then you're probably exceeding the speed limit by a pretty wide margin and deserve a…
False equivalency. This wasn't a drunk driver. This was some person driving the same speed as everyone else who happened to hit an ice patch that others missed, or maybe their tires weren't as good, and wrecked their car into a snowbank. They've got woes already, the state taxing them on top of it isn't necessary.
Nobody was hurt. It's adding insult to injury. I'm pretty sure the driver learned their lesson without the state extracting their pound of flesh for good measure.
I don't see where he really had a choice. He had to get away from the truck because the guy was all over him, dragging him out of the cab, onto the ground, and perilously close to the wheels.
Very nice looking car, imo.
Not true. I just replaced the passenger side bulb in my HIDs for $45. If you end up with a bad ballast or igniter, which is not terribly common, maybe $100-150 to have that replaced.
