I am a (recovering) audio engineer with a master’s degree in music. I would preface this by saying that don’t like deadmau5’s music, but respect what he does. With all due respect, you should shut the fuck up. Electronic music takes legitimate talent and time to create: as much as learning to shred on the guitar or

Active musician here (as in, plays in a live band with actual instruments and vocals) who despises EDM and can’t stand to listen to it and I’m here to say that I... completely disagree with you.

Well, it helps when you wrote and produced most of the songs you’re pressing play on. And their rich because their fans pay to see them. Also, you’re over simplifying what they do, it’s like saying “I don’t understand why Lewis Hamilton makes so much money when all he does is drive a car”

Are you forgetting the fact the he has to make the music before he hits the play button? Come on dude, this is not hard to figure out...

Well, for starter he is a musician like any other. His instrument just happens to be a computer. The main problem with the EDM crowd (and Deadmau5 recently talked about that), is the complete irrespect some DJs have for their fans/customers during live shows. The fact that some of them just come with a playlist and

Oh my god, you guys, Tesla is actually a multilevel marketing pyramid scheme!

The LC won’t break down, but you will need your own tanker fleet to fuel the thing...

Like Tavarish said, research research research. The Porsche and BMW communities online are deep and generally supportive with their time and experience. I almost enjoy when stuff breaks on my car so I can research it and see if I can fix it, which is demented. Add a Bentley manual and YouTube, and you can really learn

Make sure to budget for *good* tools (not necessarily professional mechanics’ stuff, but not Harbor Freight either) when you consider the cost of projects and maintenance. After a few years, you’ll have the stuff you need for all but the most esoteric jobs, but until that point, tools *will* be a non-trivial part of

Idk about an older german sports car but I had 0 knowledge of working on cars before getting my ‘09 135i. Since the warranty ran out a while back I’ve done oil changes, changed brake pads, replaced brake light on the trunk, replaced o2 sensor, water pump and thermostat. Need to do the damn valve cover gasket soon. All

This is ridiculous and I’m too offended to come up with a wittier comment than that.

Just a shot in the dark, but I would guess this is why they don’t expect you to buy a new car.

Conjecture from having just having bought a car with a weird infotainment screen:

You are sick in the head. Welcome to the club!

British newspapers are not required to cite sources for anything. They don’t need sources for anything, they can just make it up. The Daily Mail takes full advantage of that on a daily basis, not a single word they write can be taken seriously. It’s like “The Onion” run by a cabbie.

Me and my buddies occasionally play the “How much would they have to pay you to take a job in New York?” game.

“ALSO, yeah the Challenger. do it do it do it do it.”

Good thing they’ve added more power. You never know when you might have to make a quick getaway from some insufferably pretentious douche trying to drop a concrete block on it.

I don’t care if it was just a shell. I want my own air-cooled 911 one day, and the less there are the more they are worth.

Raph........
