An ///M car without the badge rolls up to a 320i adorned with fake ///M badges. A rift in the space-time continuum emerges.

I always thought frameless windows were preferred on sporty coupes because it reduced the weight of the door and I suppose gave a sleeker entry/exit with the window down.

Speaking of the black cows, excuse me let me answer, the black cows love me! People are saying I hate black but I love black! What a rude thing to say about me. And they love me. I’ve done more for black cows and quite frankly all black animals than anyone since the bible, ark, I think. They’re saying Noah? They’re…

That gap on the front driver’s side fender makes me question the accident-free claim. Also, are those frameless windows? That seems like an odd design choice for a big luxury sedan like this.

Yes

Correct! I think Toyota stopped making any kind of inline 6 several years ago. They would have had to start from scratch, or at least dust off some old designs that may or may not have met design targets of the day (emissions, efficiency, weight, cost, performance, etc).

Humans have two ‘cameras’, no lidar, and no radar.

Some people just want a Toyota inline-6 under the hood. There are plenty of practical reasons why Toyota decided not to develop and build a new inline-6, but some people don’t want to hear that.

They’re telling me the cows eat grass. I think, for Hindu that’s not so bad, right? The cows are there, eating grass and it’s a beautiful thing. Hindus understand this very well. Me, I don’t like grass so much but the cows love it! They’re saying it’s much better for the environment than eating meat, so I’m totally…

If making EVs were that easy, car makers would have done it years ago. EVs currently require huge battery packs, which don’t exactly swap in to “existing proven cars”.  In most cases, yes, the entire car must be re-developed.

See, that’s probably because you are a reasonable person without a ridiculous entitlement and/or victim complex.

No doubt.  Stress has a lot of wild effects on the body.  Saying one instance of stress on one specific day led to cancer is not realistic.

cancer has an unpredictable course and treatment itself only offers odds, not guarantees

My Car? I said, a rare German car, not a Passat.

That stuff looked great when it was new. Not so much after a few years of exposure to heat cycling and fingers. Also the lights behind the HVAC controls went out but always came back on with a firm RAP on the side of the console. Then the headliner started to sag and the window regulators got sketchy.  Then the coil…

We had a 1.8T of this same year. Around 2012, the interior was a beginning to disintegrate and the oil cooler went bad and held my wife hostage on the side of the highway. With all the weird issues we had with our 1.8T, I cannot imagine what its like maintaining that obscure W8 with double the age on it.

Maybe yours has the benefit of 2 more years of improvements. They’ve had several transmission “calibration” issues (I guess that’s the best word), stop-start system that works intermittently, 2 bad knock sensors, failed infotainment hard drive, I want to say a bad strut or shock, and a few other small things I can’t…

Parenthood  Motherhood is increasingly becoming mandated by various state governments as a form of twisted punishment. What makes you think the same governments would pay for parenting classes?

Based on the wheels in the photo, that’s a 2005 BMW 325i which has 184hp and has a 0-60 time between 7-8 seconds. Compared to a base Honda Accord from the same year, the base BMW isn’t significantly faster or more powerful.

My parents’ 2017 MDX was bought brand new and has been the least reliable Honda product they’ve ever owned (they’ve bought 8 different Honda/Acura models over 35 years). It may last a while, but it definitely has needed some weird repairs.
