The main problem with the Taycan is that it’s way, way over-priced for what it is and there isn’t a reasonably priced battery replacement option in the event that something goes wrong. I can’t imagine many people are willing to pay even $100k for a 3-year old EV when there are so many other cheaper alternatives that…

BMW XM. Starting price is $160K for what is essentially a spruced up X5 PHEV with a V8 and polarizing style. Is it a nice car to drive? Yes, absolutely. It is worth as much as a new M3 and an X5 50e combined? Hell no.

As someone who has to occasionally travel for work, I’m very much aware that the Chevy Malibu still exists.

Hard disagree here. I would definitely consider this an enthusiast car given that it’s from a pivotal generation of the CR-V that eventually made it a huge seller and it’s also manual, AWD and in great condition. Not everything on BaT needs to be an absurdly over-priced 911 or some vintage muscle car.

Yeah, I was under the impression that it can take a few days, sometimes longer, for a cashier’s check to fully clear depending on the institution that issued the check. In some instances, the process could be expedited if the bank depositing the check allowed it. I don’t blame Bryan for misunderstanding this though…

This is much better than having to use the app on the phone while on a conference call in the car. I work in an industry where billable hours are the norm so if I’m in my car participating on a call, then I’m getting paid for it. Anything to help keep people’s eyes on the road is good in my opinion.

The M2 is a good choice, though if you’re spending that kind of money, definitely go for the M2 Comp (2019-2021). It has a totally different engine (S55) with 405hp. A lot of them are still under factory warranty and can be had for under $60K.

Most cars at that age are going to have problems. I recently sold my 2013 F30 335i for around this price and it was far from perfect despite taking good care of it. Original MSRP for it was ~$60K. If you do a full pre-purchase inspection on any car at that age, you’re going to find a lot of minor stuff that doesn’t…

We have a similar law in MA but it rarely gets enforced.  Every single time we have a big snowfall, the next day there are usually dozens of lazy idiots on the highway with half the windshield cleared and/or the entire roof caked in snow ready to fly off at 70 mph at any given time.  I’m guessing these are the same…

Damn Kimmel. He already had Rodgers lying facedown on the mat and then he pulled out the “the only two A’s on his report card were in the word Aaron” line.

I’ve owned a Z4M Coupe for the last 13 years and I totally understand why not many people are buying the Supra. Not many people bought the Z4M Coupe when it was released. Even with a limited production run of 1815 cars over a two-year span in North America, dealerships were still discounting the Z4M Coupe to get them…

The upcoming traffic light turns green just before the car starts to lose control. I’m guessing he saw the light turn green, mashed the pedal and lost the rear end.

I used to have a Tomtom GPS that had a “drunk guy” voice. He slurred and stuttered so much that he never got the verbal directions out in time for any of the turns.

“Error in judgement” is an understatement. You have to be a complete sociopath to roll up on a situation that’s already been handled by another officer, arrest a 10-year old for public urination and then haul him over to the police station by himself.  Even though one of the policemen involved is no longer working at…

I honestly have no idea why they are like that. I’m guessing it’s an entitlement issue given that they have certain powers over ordinary citizens and get amazing state benefits that set them for life.

The MA State police are the worst. I used to send my child to a state-run daycare on Beacon Hill that shared the same building and very limited parking area with the Boston state trooper barracks. The state troopers would often take up all the parking spaces, meaning that us parents with one or more children aged 4…

Every generation of the M3 ends up eventually becoming a collectors car. The E9X is no different. It’s currently in the lull where it’s affordable and will eventually start to rise as the teenagers who once fawned over them are old enough with the means to afford them.

It sounds like he was already at a stop and the car just accelerated for unknown reasons and kept on going.

So this is basically either a really high markup to jump the line. Given Tesla’s history with never delivering what they promise on-time, I will not feel bad for anyone who falls for this.

No pictures of a 3DS either. They even made a special Zelda edition 3DS packaged with a A Link Between Worlds.
