When comparing a multinational corporation with 1 CEO and 1 board of directors with thousands of locally regulated and independently owned cab companies

The mere fact that either side can twist the facts and numbers to their advantage does not relieve one of their obligation to back up their claims when asked.

I’m so tired of hearing this repeated over and over from so many different delusional people over the years. “if those stupid automakers only brought the wagons to the US they would totally sell a ton!”. It’s just not true.

The S4 actually competed with the M3 at one point in time. Then they ripped out the V8 and it was relegated to compete with the 335, now 340.

All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again. Next year, RIP TLX.

This is interesting to me. There was a recent Jalopnik article that demonstrated what gets put into a single suspension bolt in F1, and everyone seemed amazed at that. But, that’s what happens at the OEM level. Every nut, bolt, screw, liquid sealant, everything! has a part number, and has an engineer who’s sole…

You misspelled “ton”

Different sizes of a similar shape is nothing new for BMW. I don’t know what the fuss is all about.

Yes absolutely so real

Of course it matters. I just don’t see how it counts as a greater claim than that of a people who resided there for millenia until kicked out by a colonial power, who then tried to return after facing numerous pograms, finally succeeding in the wake of a genocide of unprecedented scope. It’s pretty crazy to pretend…

So I design actual manufacturable products which are sold - and I can’t imagine any fabricator who would agree to hold to +/- 0.005 (which is what 0.01" basically works out to).

Posts like this make me wish I’d have enlisted in the armed forces. Not for the G.I. Bill, not for the travel, not for the benefits, not for the adventure, nor anything else.

You mean “say goodbye to your behymen”. It’s technical term for butthole cherry.

You didn’t even come close to listing all the upgrades. Typical Gawker “journalism.” If any one is interested in actual information, visit any other automotive site.

Citation needed. Language like “It has been pointed out and backed up by many leaders not shaking his hand and so on” is what I call “weasel language” that wouldn’t stand up in a 9th-grade debate class. If you say something, especially if it’s inflammatory, it’s got to be backed up!

I’m stealing this 100%

I understand the whole Domestic Violence situation from previous with Rhianna and the subsequent behavior thereafter.

The macca definitely was lifting/short shifting on pretty well every reasonably long straight stretch, the audio is terrible but if you listen to it you can tell.
