That’s fair, the current X3 looks fine. I’m sure it’s replacement will be eye searingly awful. 

The general rule of thumb in yachting is you expect to pay 10% of the purchase price every year for maintenance, crew, etc. Assuming a 67 million purchase price you are looking at over 18K per day. 

There are also people with legitimate grievances against shady, shitty mechanics. My friend just got his car back from a service, opened the hood and saw the oil cap sitting loose in the engine bay for example.

Waiting 2 YEARS to shoot your mechanic is of course a level of unhinged grudge holding that few ever achieve.…

I think Toyota’s truck/large SUV lineup looks great. Purposeful without being overly aggro. 

Assuming you mean the coupe it’s not their worst design but I find it sort of awkward looking. The 4 door is much worse. I can’t thing of a single BMW on sale today that is not uglier than its predecessor.

It’s the entire BMW model line. Some are worse than others but they are not selling a single model that I would describe as beautiful. The BEST of the current bunch are the M5 and 8 series Gran Coupe and even those two are not as pretty as their competitors, and far less attractive than their predecessors.

They also, at least in Florida, have dirt cheap gas. Their prices match Costco/Sam’s Club and are a lot less than normal gas stations. 

It is not hard at all to make money in starfield. Pick any random pirate or spacer base, clear it out and sell all the loot. I make like 60K credits in 15 minutes yesterday and you could easily do even better.

I looked at the ad and it has 260K miles, which explains the price. Asking prices are all over the place but I’d expect them to be asking closer to 10K for a clean sorted example with lower miles. Even with the auto and 2+2.

With these Zs it’s definitely better to get a cosmetically clean one with some mechanical…

Speaking as a 300ZX owner, be very afraid of a $4000 example.

That’s a fair point, I agree they seem better placed than most nations to go EV only. 

Fair enough, but I’m sure the numbers for Norway are not far off. 

There are various numbers out there but based on a few articles about a third of Americans live in multi family housing, so I certainty would not call charging for apartment dwellers a minor problem. It’s probably the second largest impediment to widespread EV adoption behind cost. 

I’m down to just Netflix and HBO, I cancelled everything else. Every damn network wants you to buy a $15/month subscription now on top of the $175/month I have to pay Comcast for the damn internet connection in the first place. It’s just too much.

That is pretty incredible. If I had a drift track near me I could use for $200 I would absolutely be a regular patron. I’ve never seen any sort of track day in Florida for less that $500 

4Runner is also a strong seller despite being almost 15 years old. G Wagens are extremely popular among the wealthy. 

I’m amazed there are already such cheap options. We have nothing like that in South Florida where I live. Street takeovers are a thing here too but seem to be less prevalent than LA. Or maybe they just write about them more in Cali.

I don’t buy that, at all. Maybe a few of these guys enjoy just being disruptive assholes but if there was a legal, accessible and affordable alternative car people would flock to it. How much is track time at Irwindale? How often is it available?

I get the anger, I’ve had guys doing burnouts at 3AM directly below my…

How about giving people a safe, legal space to play around? There must be a big empty lot somewhere that can be turned into an off street venue for hellcat dudes that want to do burnouts and donuts. Give them a better way to have their fun and get them off of public roads.

This has already happened, some insurance companies won’t insure the cars at all. The people suffering the most are those who bought the cars before thefts became such an issue.
