I understand, but still, I fail to see the distinction between a screen saying that I drive too fast and a letter telling me I drove too fast 2 weeks ago.

Well here, when you are 10 km/h (about 7 mph)above the speed limit, the radar just displays a frowny face, that limits the “highscore” temptation.

Just use educational speed cameras already.

There is a much less controversial solution to this problem: it’s called educational speed radars.

Hot take incoming:

I don’t have the pretention to be sure that this would be doable with the current technology. As you probably know, going from airworthiness regulation to road regulation would change quite a few things about an APU design. Jaguar gave the idea a try with the C-X75.

Turbines are actually very power dense, that’s why they are prefered to piston engines in aircrafts, where mass is actually more important than fuel efficiency. I am not sure they may offset the battery pack weight though.

9/11: 3000 casualties. US answer “Better fuck up an entire region of the world!”

I hate to praise Trump, but if his policies lead to every manufacturer doing exactly this, demand for US-made cars will rise (in proportions, but the size of the market may shrink due to the additional cost for the consumer).

My bad, I did not know about this one!

I guess it is historic. Why add the “i” at the end of “d” ? If it were to be completely logical, it’d be “320d” and “320b” for “benzin” (like the engine code names) or “320g” for gasoline. 2 letters are useless since nowadays, every car is fuel injected.

You gotta be able to make a difference with the “d” models, which are quite common in Europe.

It’s called the Mini John Cooper Works (JCW). A collegue of mine has one, it sounds surprisingly good for such a small and inoffensive looking car.

It’s funny how a writer living in England manage to snuck 2 French expressions about an exposition in German-speaking Switzerland for a mainly American public.

As we say here “colors and tastes are not to be argued about”.

I considered buying one of these, it is indeed one of the rare drop-top which is beautiful with the top up or down (unlike the Boxster which is weird looking in any of these configurations).

At some point, designers have forgotten about “less is more”

That spoiler is an eyesore.

Team Kristen all the way.

There is a video of a walk-around, and the car looks better than in the picture in my opinion.
