Think of it like E85 vs “regular” gasoline.

The Friar got it, and in a broader sense manufacturing flexibility is expensive. That is why you will see manufacturers try to reduce cost by offering Packages instead of standalone options, or limit availability the of certain options to certain trim levels. Offering everything on every trim level increases the…

Where’s the false advertising?

A single cent in 1913 was equivalent to about 32 cents in 2024, and gas prices at that time were around 10 cents a gallon. Adding a full cent per gallon would have meant a 10 percent price increase per gallon, which is significant. This became especially prevalent once the great depression struck and families across…

You would also ensure it had a V12 hooked up to a manual transmission.  Right?

If those are Glock 22s, they generally come equipped with 15 round magazines. 15 x 5 = 75. Assuming they all started with a full magazine, yes, math says there were at least 2 reloads.

Quite frankly, overall I don’t like the “jellybean” design of the newest Mercedes-Benz EVs. IMO they look more anonymous and just don’t have the same road presence as their contemporary and older ICE equivalents.

It looks much better than the Acuras and Genesis of the world that try to “hide” the plastic sensor covers in the middle of a real grille.

Created by a blind design team, approved by a blind leadership team and bought in record numbers by blind customers! Everyone must be blind when it comes to those wheel arches!

Re: Crossovers

Mazda has said on multiple occasions that Mazdaspeed is not coming back. While Mazdaspeed may not return, I would not be surprised to see a performance-oriented Mazda under a different name.

My in laws make decent money and love to show us how much they spend. I see it as a source of major insecurity. They are trading in cars every 2 years and using their LLC to write off all sorts of shit they probably shouldn’t be.

The Tahoe High Country is at least $70k.  Yeah, they can get out of hand.
