Not only let you turn it off, but change how it sounds. I know the Renault hot hatch let you make it any number of classic and performance cars and also included an F1 car and a UFO. I’m sure you’d never leave those on for long, but they embraced the tech and let you ave fun with it.

Maybe if they turned off the synthetic approval generator, they’d be able to hear people telling them to stop.

To be fair, give Kimi enough vodka and he’d join alonso in fixing that thing.

You noticed all that but no one has noticed that M55 and G55 aren't actual model numbers. That's how forgettable and back-asswards this naming is.

I now want to overlay infinity sales by year with number of Subway franchises by year. I am 75% sure there is correlation.

Which one?

I wanted one after my first car died. Decent M45s were under 5 grand. 340hp V8 in a mid/full size RWD sedan. Or, in other words, a much better crown vic that actually handles and has luxury.

Negative percent changes in sales of the Q50, Q60, Q70, QX30, QX50, QX60, and QX80—coincidentally, also cars I cannot for the life of me accurately bring to mind, no matter how hard I try.

The CR-Z was appreciated for exactly what it was - hybrid performance with sports car practicality. After all, who wouldn’t want to buy a two seat honda fit but with less trunk space and with honda civic fuel economy?

Eh, most bikes don’t have gas gauges. The thing about putting one on bikes is that since bikes are turned by leaning over, it’s really easy to throw off a cheap/simple solution. Many bikes have some sort of crude level sensor to act as a low fuel warning, but it’s just a warning light on the dash and unlike cars where…

Law of the land requires me to highlight that the JGTC lamborghini is in the shot too.

Ford has a dearth of content for their cars, but the option packages you’re forced to buy make it hard to get what you want for a decent price. I bought a 14' FiST and a 17' FoST. THe recaro option was 2000$ in the FiST and came with a bunch of the interior upgrades, but that was it. The FoST upgrade is 4000$ and is…

Wait, hold on a second....millenials are the ones fawning over the panther platform as a great buy because they can’t afford new vehicles. If anything, it was the boomers buying (read: demanding with their wallets) crossovers and SUVs with leather and power everything that made them axe the smaller and simpler…

Both times I was at a car show and saw an Audi 200 20v, I struck up a conversation with the owner as a former owner of one myself. Both of them went on and on about this amazing article written up about the car. And it was the article I wrote over on oppositelock:

NPoCP is a popularity contest for most people. It could be the deal of the century on a car not many people like and it gets a CP, but if it’s a ratty old brown diesel miata wagon, it gets an automatic NP even though no one clicking NP would actually pay that much for it.

I’ll be there for the day when Norris’ kid reviews memes his dad made/was a part of.

Yeah, I never liked that bodystyle of mustang when it came out, but that front end treatment really sold me on the look. I don’t mind the newer ones, but that PJ edition just does it for me. Especially if it had some side exit exhaust, a roll cage, and some super sticky tires. Mmmmmmm.

I used to work near the Saleen headquarters about a decade ago. In their main office, they had a Parnelli Jones edition car just chilling up front at all times. You could very clearly see it when driving past and it always looked damn good considering it was a very road-focused car. But still, 10/10, would drive it.

Weirdest? Audi V8 EVO’s front and rear aero package. Yes, your 4000lb sedan can have an adjustable rear flap spoiler and you can insert a front splitter onto your front bumper to make that big sedan handle like a......4000lb sedan with some bits on it!
