Well, it does now.

Agreed. Also, the Audi is sort of tasteful, even though larger. The Lexus and some of the new BMW grilles are hideous. So ugly I can’t even believe people can hold their noses and buy them at all. I literally jumped the first time I saw one of those predator-grilled Lexuses. They still cause a physical revulsion when

That’s the 2021 model.

Hayabusa.

How do they deploy?  Some kind of explosive charge like airbags?

Good thing they camouflaged those bumpers! Now no one will know it’s the “Electric Test Vehicle”. What? He printed it right on the bumper?! D’oh! Dammit, Dietrich!

I would think adding super hot pavement to the equation would serve to reduce the safety margin a bit. Any tire engineers care

It’s Jina!

[Zapp Branigan voice]  I like the cut of your jib, sailor!

Never mind that brake dust, hehe...

Just run it 4 times.  Or, buy 4 dishwashers, I bet one of these wheels costs enough to buy 4 dishwashers.
