“It’s not the job of Porsche to provide affordable models”

“laws that remove as many voters as possible”

Completely understood - 2020 is a valid excuse. We keep hearing that the golden age of 4-wheeled transport is behind us, and that ICE’s days are numbered, despite the fact that manufacturers are pumping out some of the most enthusiast-friendly vehicles that we’ve seen in ages. However, it’s still hard to deny that…

That’s COCAINE MITCH BABY! WOOO!

“My ego will hurt for a while, as I’ll be known as the guy who wrecked a bike on a press trip for at least the next few years”

My takeaway from this article and personal experience is that it doesn’t matter how rich you are, how much power you have, the color of your skin, or where you come from... the in-laws will always be a pain in the ass. It just so happens that Meghan’s in-laws sit on a throne. 

In order:

I unfortunately 100% understand your situation. I DD a 2020 FType and it’s a PITA to avoid the dealer for consumables. Even things such as brake pads are difficult to find elsewhere. Velocity AP actually saved me some $$$ by going with their aftermarket solutions. 

Here’s the original quote that’s since been pulled:

You clearly didn’t see the author’s original comment that was removed. 

Glickenhaus responded properly. TexLax84 just wanted to make something out of nothing. 

Lucky8 sells a delete kit for it. 

It’s a very common occurrence - I don’t pay that amount, but plenty of people do. Since permalink on this site is fucked, I’ll just insert the relevant quote from a forum post:

I’m sure Haas would love to sponsor RG as the costs for Indy are significantly less than F1 and RG attracts plenty of other sponsors as he is already a known quantity as an F1 driver with demonstrable speed; the fact that RG already has his 2021 IndyCar ride fully paid for without Gene Haas’ support further bolsters…

Freelander and LR2 never came with low range gearboxes, locking diffs (center/rear), air suspension or adequate ground clearance. If you saw the two next to each other in person, you’d never make the comparison based on size alone. The new Defender is a great successor to the LR3/4 in terms of spec, but it’s also a…

Yeah, the 4.4 has a few 300k+ mile examples on ExPo too. They’re nice motors. I personally had an LR3 with 200k+ on it with 35" and full armor. It lived a very harsh life. 

Inverse: It’s not LR’s fault but rather the dealers. Charging $400+ for an oil change is absurd. There should be a separate/reduced labor rate for an oil change - you don’t need a master tech to do that shit. That’s why people go 10k+ miles without changing the oil. Frankly, I would too if it were a leased vehicle.…

Great, now Ferrari can disappoint me in two completely separate and distinct series. Joy. On a positive note, I hope their wind tunnel time for the LMH program translates somewhat positively to their F1 program. 

Naw, there are 200 pages of dinosaurs on ExPo as well in the “New Defender Rage/Hate” thread also that agree. I personally love the new Defender. It’s a great vehicle - I’ve driven both the P300 and P400 and come from an extensive JLR ownership background myself.
