Legal lane splitting at speed is a horrible idea. Yes it improves time for the riders, but like anything else it’s a thing that will be abused and exploited, leading to tons of issues. More bikes (and likely more inexperienced riders) means more crashes (thus more traffic jams) and more small accidents (more cars hit-a…

I’m convinced the only people who say “Well X dealers are actually good” are just the suckers falling for the dealer’s bullshit. 

“Why would the best, most effective value proposition to distribute vehicles to customers not be your first choice?” Devlin asked Auto News. “And why would you reject an existing distribution and sales system that already exists?”

Yeah, I have a Conti DWS’ on there right now for cold/wet. My M240i doesn’t get driven in the snow/ice. I have other cars for that. Been trying to find a set of used wheels in a square setup for summer/track that I like. Don’t think 17s would work with the factory upgraded brakes. So, looking at 18s but tire size is…

BMW and Mercedes do this because many of their buyers are badge whores. In this case, we are talking about their entry level models. But they know that the buyer is going to feel better about an entry level model if it has the M. So now they are cooler in their leased X1 M than the guy rolling around in a regular X5.

Get rid of the run flats that BMW sticks on everything and that clears up a lot of it.

the only certainty in being human is uncertainty. well, and death and taxes, i guess

Here’s a vote for keeping a two-pilot flight crew. And Airbus is pushing EASA for single-pilot flight decks.

It’s sad, but even people in the best of health have unexpected medical events from time to time. That’s why there are co-pilots.

Even more interesting, I think some drivers actually aim for them

I definitely won’t go so far as to say anyone deserves to get hit by a car, but within the cycling community there exists a small minority who need to have some sense knocked into them

I also don’t want to be chopped up by airplane propellers or sucked into a jet engine. So those need to be changed.

Now that i think about it, i don’t want to be chopped up by lawnmower blades or blenders.

There are tons of ways to get killed by machinery. All of these accidents are preventable. They all involve…

Now that’s a neighbourhood after my own heart.  Well, provided they don’t have a problem with my medicinal plants.

“Typical upper-crust thinking.”

Which is another reason why I love my neighborhood. It’s a simple middle class area that specifically voted down a HOA decades ago and still votes it down because the entire place is infested with weird-os.

Crack pipe. This car offers nothing above what anyone would get from an M5, and those are on autotrader under 50k all day. 

Do the mods void the warranty? Would make a huge difference to me if I were seriously looking at it. Google says BMW factory is four years and 50,000.

Wonders never cease.  I wonder what the Venn diagram of “Craigslist car shoppers” and “M8 shoppers” looks like.  Probably just two circles.

This CUV was very fresh in its day. Miles ahead of what everyone else was doing.

this is deranged
