I’d love to have one strictly as a DD. Though I shudder at the thought of how much it would cost to service these things. They’re not track cars. They’re barely even track capable. You have 3-4 laps. That’s it, and it falls apart.

They are crap track cars. One showed up locally and owner had to cut the sessions and day short because the brakes couldn’t keep up, suffered from heat soak after a few laps, and got dangerously close to overheating. For the short time it was at full tilt, it plowed like any Audi would through corners. I imagine the…
What a shame. Alpine is traditionally a sportscar manufacturer(soon to be was). I’d prefer the ICE A110 in its current state, rather than EV CUV clones of what already exists in the market. But worse. Just stay in Europe. I’ve had enough of French cars in the form of Nissans.
Cadillac Vs(to include Blackwings). Yea, for us car guys, we’ve known that for the last 20 years, Cadillac has made fast and great handling sport sedans/coupes/wagons. But to the rest of the population, they’re just old people cars. Cadillac Vs and Blackwings are the physical embodiment of the term ‘sleeper car’.
I was on a work trip and I was slated to get an Aveo or similar. But I asked for something a bit larger as I flew with my mountain bike and needed the room to haul it around for 3 weeks, when work is done for the day and it’s time to ride. I got a free upgrade to a Prius, and I had a blast with that car. I drove it…

It’s definitely probably in protest of prop 103.
My local Cadillac dealer lost a sale(from me) because of this. Not the dealer’s fault, but the dealer itself had their own issues and rubbed me the wrong way multiple times. Had they actually treated me like they were selling me a luxury car, I would have toughed it out. I instead flew out to Austin to buy my current…
Well, it’s not like the make good manual transmissions nowadays anyway. When most reviewers say the new M2 is subjectively better with an auto, they’re doing something wrong. Sad day, but it won’t be missed in BMW’s case. Now had they been making great manual transmissions all this time, that would be a different…
About damn time.
I think the Supra is pretty great and punches well above its weight. Its performance is equal to or slightly better than a CT4V Blackwing which is a bit more expensive. BUT... See the thing about Supras is that they have a but. But the Supra is tricky to drive fast on track, has rear floating brake calipers, the right…

Oh good. I was pre-angered thinking that the on-duty cop just let the speeding off-duty cop go.
It’s a Nissan dealer, so they’re about as low as, if not lower than, Hyundai/Kia dealers in the underhanded, scummy things they like to do.
Any time I get a chance to call out and shame a local dealer, I jump on it. Here’s a white 400Z with the sport package or whatever. This local dealer is selling it used with 123 miles for $68,250, down from a previously listed $70k. The upper management took this thing for a joyride, dealer owner bought and registered…
I don’t really care about the stocks and finances of Carvana on the backend, but I just sold my 22 Veloster N to them for nearly as much as I paid for it 2 weeks ago. When I appraised in March and April, the offers were around $26-28k. It jumped to $32k late May and I jumped at the chance to sell it.
That was probably the most exciting Le Mans in recent years. I’m not normally a very outward and publicly patriotic person, but seeing American cars go toe to toe with the Europeans in a European event and do well, and in some cases podium and place first brings a tear to my eye.
That looks like a straight up truck interior.
