I am no aviation expert, but I am highly suspicious of your assertion that airport tarmacs are gigantic pools of flammability. For one thing, any unburnt jet fuel that may remain on the ground will evaporate. I’m thinking most commercial airliners aren’t exactly leaking fuel left and right, either.

That’s a nice looking car. Audi, if you’re listening, I think I speak for a lot of people here. Please bring the wagon to the US market even though we can’t afford one in the first place!

Is she seriously a 37 year old grandmother?

With that crazy aero behind the driver, it’s closer to a raised LMP car than any sort of van.

Finally, lying in bed on Christmas night, the first one she’d spent without her family, it was time

Launch him to Mars with a Cybertruck in tow. After all, it is “Built for Any Planet”.

it is listed on the official entry list as “demo”

Standard features include a massaging drivers seat, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, navigation and keyless entry.

I am with you on this one. The fundamental design of CT hasn’t really changed since 2019 (not even the wheel covers!). When it was finally released, it didn’t even have Tesla’s signature “Autopilot” or “Full Self-Driving” features, nor did it have a locking differential! How could anyone miss those details after 5+…

This reminds me of that one time Honda replaced all those engines for free.  All in the name of better efficiency.

The Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PCSB) is my favorite modern brake technology: https://www.porsche.com/usa/aboutporsche/christophorusmagazine/archive/384/articleoverview/article03/

Most dealerships I’ve worked with over the last 15 years are predators. Their sales model relies on people to be a combination of Unprepared and Uninformed: financially illiterate, impatient, no down payment, no idea of what they want, no real budget, only focused on the Monthly Payment, in desperate need, etc.

As good as the E82 is, some may prefer the E46 because of the “simpler” NA inline-6, lack of infotainment and availability of sedan bodystyle.

beaucoup, not buku

It’s pretty good when it’s not crowded, inside the store and in the parking lot. Walking through there on a holiday weekend gives me anxiety. The parking lot is always chaotic, with its pseudo-traffic patterns and huge variety and quantity of vehicles.

That list is only the US market.

It’s strange. Even though they don’t have nearly the same production volume as the Toyotas and VWs of the world, the Model Y is the #1 best selling car in the world.

To me it seems that part of the allure is being obnoxious and letting everyone know it. When some dude across town has a “regular” CT, you have no choice but to wrap yours in some Gee Whiz color.

If 90% of those cars aren’t on the road, that means there’s 680,000 affected cars rolling in public.  That’s a lot!
