Kudos to Tesla for achieving straight line performance numbers that seemed out of reach for production cars just a few years ago. Quite impressive even though their cars are missing all of the magic and style that gives most performance cars their appeal.

30k seems reasonable with two incomes and relatively low cost of living i’m assuming. plus, it’s actually pretty hard to buy a new car for less than 30k these days.

I think that Arnage that popped up the other day for $21k would be perfect!

They overlap here in VA but don’t think anyone cares. 

For car fuel it’s Costco. Best prices on 93 and lines move fast.

I’m happy to go without heated seats, HUD and radar cruise control or similar options.

No but the lucky numbers and fortune you find with it are all yours.

oh didn’t realize that was on the app too. used to watch that show every weekend. i think it played just before or after mecum auto auctions but don’t actually recall what channel. 

I listen to the Armchair Expert pod and heard about it there. Dax talked about making it feel more like the original and less like the previous TGA show with more of a “punk rock” attitude. i watched the first season and it was just ok. not punk rock at all. It’s a little too puppy dog. I’ll still watch it because I’m…

These are some bad takes. And I predict the new M4 will age well.

The best way to honor an old f1 car is to race it and live with the consequences of doing so.

I once rented a Mazda2 and every time I left the house to jump in it I thought someone stole half my car. I was worried to take it back to Hertz thinking I may have lost a few feet of its body.

The Accord Crosstour. Why do that to the Accord name, Honda?

Cars I have purchased or leased. I have owned or shared others. $160k

CX-9 seems like a good choice but if they want to push toward the top end of their budget could shoot for the X5 xDrive45e. Just under $60k for the base model after the the tax credit.

i remember when autonomous driving was talked about in the 90s it was about magnetic highways systems and the focus was on safety over convenience or marketing. Believe that was brought up again a few years ago.

I’m not sure a non-celebrity crash would lead to press conferences and public statements. I’m sure many aspects of this situation would have been handled differently. 

M5 or X5 M

Shouldn’t the interior be less minimalistic and more customizable to suit the owner’s interests since they’ll be focused more on comfort than on driving? 

I have yet to see a GV80 in the wild. To be fair I only leave the house about twice a week but still thought I would see a few. We bought a new car in that class recently and I didn’t give serious consideration to looking at the GV80. It’s excellent on paper but it’s just a little to pretty for me. A bit overly…
