The best part of the .gif at the top is when the BMW powerslides all the way through.

When they’re done, the Reveros will look and drive a lot like their predecessor Karmas. Though the new car will have its own front and rear fascia design, it will be powered by the same engine and same A123 battery...

I have driven a lot of BMWs with that gear shifter. And while I’ve never had any really crazy shit happen like rollaways, I have found them to be annoyingly finicky at times—not wanting to go into park right away, not always shifting into reverse or drive when I ask, the beeping warning icons you mentioned, etc.

For 3 years I had the BMW version of these idiotic return-to-center joystick style shifters. I don’t get why car companies make them. My car had 3 fail safe mechanisms not present in the even stupider FCA version:

If you try to decipher Hideo Kojima, you’re gonna have a bad time.

We know it’s legit because it’s recorded vertically, the true sign of any legit moron.

I wish there was a way for us to thank this man. Applause to you sir!

No tolls, but I all of the people on the street large heads with convolutions showing.

Well then Jalopnik is being a bit misleading by showing us a 10 year old video as a relevant topic of discussion, aren’t they? Let’s be honest, this is just click bait for the “SUVs suck and wagons are cool” jalops.

A half-assed job of towing.

I now feel like my rx8 has near minivan capabilities as I can carry two kids under 5 and was even able to fit a stroller in the trunk! Its practically a minivan!

Damn. This photo is awesome.

I change tires for the winter, then I change tires for the summer, then I rotate my tires, then I do quite a few autocross events on a dedicated set of tires, then I intend on doing some track days as well, then there are oil changes, pad changes for the track, other mechanical jobs, etc...

I have my car in the air…

Hydraulic certainly adds quite a bit of weight. Most race cars (I know, a totally different thing from a Dakar truck) use pneumatic. The whole system adds probably 25 pounds to the car. 25 pounds on my road car isn’t what I’d consider significant weight. The cost however...

I thought that was how everyone did it. Saves your back!

I love how he positions the fresh tyre the same why I do. Sit on ass, and prop it up with your feet.

I said he should do a full LeMon’s write up, car, build, race, and team up with you. He’s doing that isn’t he?

Good to see that Excel experience gained from working at Porsche has paid off for you!
