Wrong generation. The wallet-destroying V10 S85 is in the E60/1 M5 and E62/3 M6.

That said, yup. The E39 M5's improvement over the 540i doesn’t fully justify the premium for the casual buyer.

Haven’t you heard?  It’s in the undertail of Kawasaki’s new ZX-4R.

Pangolins are weird. When four wheeling’ they essentially “walk” on their front knuckles and also have a tendency to do this:

Obscenely rich asshats note: if there was ever a chance to dunk on Bezos, here it is.

Enh, I kinda get the sentiment. At its most basic, F1 still has a wheel, a go pedal and a slow pedal. The fundamentals of getting the best lap time in an F1 car apply almost 1:1 to getting the best lap time in a Miata.

These things? Fuckers have not a thing in common with crewing a traditional racing sailboat, let…

I’m square in their target buyer: gotta car, gotta CUV, eyeing up a small-ish truck to add to the fleet in a couple years for trucky things. Namely, towing. The update on the towing kills this for me. I realize apples to oranges but you can tick the equivalent “Tremor” box on the Ranger and not lose a pound of towing.…

I’m guessing that diff is the same one off the baby Bronco, which I recall some peeps wondering about retro-fitting it. I’m half surprised they didn’t upgrade this to use the cluster from the Escape as well.

Assuming this doesn’t have any effect on the 4K option, I fail to see how, at worst-case scenario, this isn’t an…

Which sadly is why I must respect why there’s yet to be a new F-Zero.

Seriously.  I give them a lot of credit for opting for DLC versus a “meh” MK9.  Yeah, they’re not as honed as the ones that shipped but they’re fun, and for the price I’m cool with it.

True, but SR1 was a “paint between the lines’ GTA knock-off with (many) superior gameplay mechanics. SR2 is where the series found its voice, so I’m okay with the OP’s statement.

“Porsche” is a weird way to spell Ford GT.

Dude. Where are my dogs gonna ride?

Seriously. If it’s not a ZF GS6-53BZ I’ll eat my pretzel. . .

That said, BMW knows its market only cares about the connotations of that roundel and couldn’t be fuckered with a third pedal, while Toyota is realizing that their (Supra) clientele pretty much all went “where’s my fucking manual?”

I asked them about this awhile back, as I had a clue. Selfish self-interest, as I had a GTO and would’ve loved a legal Zeta-based Ute. Without fully admitting it, they confirmed my hunch they’re riding the legal notion that damn near the whole car can be a repair part, essentially.

Ages ago I asked a similar question of another outfit that imported Utes using donor parts and VINs from G8's. It’s amazing what is legally considered a repair part, and this is how they operate in the margins. Given the Zeta’s structure passed muster on some level, I’m not losing any sleep here.

Did this thread summon…

Or just have a few wandering your backyard. A lot of boroughs (aka towns) here in PA have officially passed ordinances okaying having backyard poultry. Be curious to see if it’s a trend country-wide.

I’ve a couple close vegan friends. Eggs are always the “if I get pregnant” greenlighted animal product. Makes sense, as…

Myth: Your car burns oil 

You never had an LS1? Blow-by and piston slap on cold starts were common “issues.” Didn’t hurt anything, but six quarts of oil went in, three-four quarts of chocolate sauce came out.

Your next mission:

One of the other articles about this boat mentioned it tended to be Sochi (IIRC) when he was, so. . .  Probably.

Pennsylvania is a weird commonwealth. The way us natives describe it is Philly at one end, Pittsburgh at the other and a whole lotta Kentucky in between. Can’t say much for Casey, outside of he’s better than having Rick Santorum.
