Yeah, it's a great car; drives way more like a sports car than any other car in that class. Turning circle is great too. If you want it a bit smoother and less sporty it rides like butter on the standard 18's or 19's whatever they are; love the AWD too. I got mine back in 2012 new and it blew the competition out of…

Exactly. I have the 20 in wheels and wide tires from the A8 W12 and in sport mode the ride is almost rough! I considered the S600 or the A8L W12 but they just use too much gas and have the same size gas tank. Even though I don't drive long distances except for vacations it's just inconvenient for a DD. I also can do…

The sport button on my E550 is amazing - really transforms the car in to a (somewhat overweight) version of a sports car. Throttle response goes from a bit slow to instantaneous, the shift mapping goes ultra aggressive. And the mileage goes to 12 mpg....you play, you pay.

Who drives without a seat belt these days? 96mph doesn't rustle my jimmies, but no seat belt does.

Andorra's gotten a lot of heat for being a tax haven over the years. They've recently taken a few measures to combat that image, like starting to collect their own taxes in 2016 (IIRC) and sharing financial information with a few other countries (Spain is one of them). So, I'm all but certain it's an agreement they…

If I drove a rust '80s Ford Taurus and someone hit me like that, I would be pissed.

Right on. I will definitely say that any color you choose, be sure to see an example of it (beyond the paper stick swatches). Also, ask around (like on the Corvette Forum's regional section) for recommendations on shops to go to.

At that moment, the Z06 you were driving made more power than every BRZ in the world... combined.

The most hilarious thing that keeps popping up is the "why do they offer black wheels?" comment, usually followed by a "chrome should be the only option." Invariably it's from an older (read: retired) vette owner. I find it funny cause I grew up going to car shows with my dad, and he always talks down to the idea of…

Mid 30's, mechanical designer, former video game artist, daily drive a new Stingray, previously had a supercharged '01 'vert that was also a daily driver. Friend's a tech consultant for VOIP phone systems, has an '01 M5, private pilot, family man. All the guys we know / see with the JDM crowd are late teens / early…

I think a pickup truck should not cost $66k. Or even half that, actually.

I dislike both the E46 M3 and the E39 M5.

While I do feel for Caterham and the people working there, this has to be one of the most ridiculous crowdfunds ever by face value - team in one of the most expensive racing series begging for money to race in one of the richest countries in the world seems just totally absurd and out of place.

It only fits four because no rich person wants to ride bitch and will surely feature some of Mercedes's most advanced tech ever.

yes i took my daughters to F1 last year and we made it a point to get there before the cars fired up. It went from silence to "demons exiting from the pit of hell" in 5 seconds. It was the most amazing sound and truely unforgettable. This year.... we just skipped it.

Where's a coal roller when you need one. Perfect situation and I'm sure the coal bro's can run down those cones with more than enough clearance.

It makes sense! Thanks for taking the time to write a dissertation to do so!

Agreed, it's like all the bike news drops in Oct and Nov. It's amazing how little most people want to talk about new sportbikes (excluding 'sweeet GIXXR Bro' kind of people)

Sad thing is everyone who's ever spent more than 10 mins at a motorcycle dealership knows what I'm talking about.
