You should always know that any engine in a street legal car probably has 10% more power left in it due to emissions equipment and reliability factors.

Do some research man. The dude owns quite a few Ferraris and has proven many times he can drive them wherever he wants. Check out “yonly65" on IG...
I had this same scenario happen yesterday in the midst of this ‘winter storm’ we just had. It had snowed/iced about 2 inches, some roads being snow covered, others just slushy and mostly wet. While driving down a wet, very slightly slushy 3 lane road, I passed a cop who was doing around 30 in the fast lane surrounded…
Thanks for chiming in, Ben. This proves that even the pinnacle of high performance “road” cars still can’t hold a candle to a well built race car. It amazes me how much aero makes a difference.
How do you live in a place that rural with a driveway that long that gets that much snow and not have a truck or at least a SxS with a plow??
What I would give for that much land that gets that much snow. I’ll trade you for my current 10' long driveway not big enough to park a car in that is currently covered in maybe…
Not to mention the prices just drastically dropped and supply is higher than ever. The dealer down the street from me was selling these at 1-2k over sticker last year and usually had only one on the lot. Now they have 7 in stock and all of them are 3-4k below MSRP.
Personally, there is just something about the…
My main question is how much of that aero styling is actually functional and backed up by data? Since the car is so track focused, I assume at least the wing is functional? What about all the little vortex generators and intakes in the grille and exits in the fenders, hood scoop, diffuser, etc??? Or did they just…
Styled the car to appease a 20 year old. Too bad 99% of them can’t afford it.
So the R-line might have basically the Golf R drivetrain. In a vehicle that is more spacious on the inside and better looking on the outside? This is relevant to my interests...
The wheels are a different design.
No, not particularly. Nothing else went up drastically enough to stick out. Maybe milk went up like a nickel? I dunno where you are going with this.
Please show me these magical cheap flights. I live near DC, so I have 3 major airports to choose from when I want to go anywhere. I just got back from Salt Lake City and my flight was over $400, plus another $25 each way for my snowboard. A few months ago, my wife used points to fly to San Diego to visit some friends.…
Remember when gas/oil prices went up really high and flight prices skyrocketed because of it? And they crammed more seats on planes and charged us heavy fees for bags? Then fuel/oil prices dropped drastically and the flight prices never went down and fees never went away? Fuck everything about the airlines.
Dude. Who gives a shit about the position of the shifter if there is an indicator light physically on the knob tell you what gear you’re in? Mechanical shifters have the exact same indicator. Seems to be the BMW and other shifters are far worse than FCA. At least my shifter has the normal PRND configuration in a…
It does go into park when you push it all the way forward. The electronic shifter has detents just just a mechanical shifter. You can feel the clicks in between gears, so shifting from D to P has 3 clicks. Why can’t you people understand that? I’ve used the damn shifter for 2 years and I immediately know if the Jeep…
Um, yeah. I’ve been driving a ‘14 Grand Cherokee for the last 2 years, using the dreaded“death shifter” I was describing in my post. I know how it works, I don’t have any problems with it, I haven’t backed over myself yet, and I denied the warranty shifter fix.
Obvious visual indicators like the light on the shifter that has a glowing gear indicator? Or the display on the dash that shows what gear you’re in? Or the “ding” noise and display in the dash when you open the door that says “Vehicle not in park”?? That’s literally four different things that tell you not to get out…
Absolutely love this car, but I still have 2 complaints:
1) The carbon wheels look terrible. I get that you have to design them for high strength, but at least add some curve to the spokes if possible. Flat, high offset wheels have always looked lame on any type of car, let alone a supercar.
2) Has nobody figured out…
Old Town is actually wonderful to drive through on a commute because most of the lights are timed well.
I was referring to MD-210 (Indian Head Highway) which makes my commute “stop for light, accelerate to 75mph, stop for light, accelerate to 75mph” and repeat at least 10 times. Not to mention ‘fast lane’ has zero…
My wife and I both grew up in SoMD and both our parents still live here, so we’re in the area a lot. My wife lived in Chicago and DC for about 10 years total and now doesn’t want to leave the city life of walking to most things. I’d honestly be happier living down here with a larger house, a real yard, a big garage,…
