If we accept your math of 780 accidents per lifetime, then EVERY SINGLE FSD DRIVER would have been in an accident this year. Or several. Clearly that's not true, and with it goes this comparison.

1% savings from 300 would be 297, not 290.

so in fairness to you, you did say That ' mark for foot wasn't familiar to us, read instead as 0-60mph. That said, the conversation was about drag performance, and you're asserting that the A5 2.0 is faster off the line than a M3P. Though 60' escapes the disadvantage of gear shifting...

When I took the ERC class long ago (BMW purchase includes a voucher for either MSF class), there were two Harley owners debating the safety of taking their bikes out of the garage on a misty day. Harley seems to have the ride or die types, that logs tens of thousands per year, and then the...

was it not nonsense when it was on the upper right corner? Looking down and looking right all not the same.

I put in over 100k miles on motorcycles, and somewhere over 250k on MT cars. I still had the Outback with the 6MT for about 6 weeks after getting the Y, before sending it to a suitable snow state where my mother can use it to take the miles off her trucks. And nope, don't miss shifting...

uh, which model Audi are you claiming to do 1.7 times with ease? And when you said heavily modded, did that involve strapping a rocket engine to its ass?

love the effort, but the fact that run 1 and 2 at 45psi show nearly the same delta as 45 vs 35 means no conclusion can be drawn here, and potentially challenges the trust we can place on the short term data coming from the Energy display. It could just demonstrate the number of uncontrollable...

It might have been fun to take them up on it, and then schedule the first oil change and see what happens. Back to the recent posts on the 3/Y display: Over the past year, I've untrained the constant looking for the nonexistent screen behind the wheel. But still not a fan of the location...

nah...people who live in higher cost zips subsidize you. Basically those in NY and CA. It's fine to admit being a bit parasitic, but it's not the fairness you suggest it is. It was an attack on blue states. But back on topic, the AMT reached well beyond the top quintile of earners...

sigh....it's not like the toll lanes on 580 were recently implemented, like the stretch on the peninsula on 101. No CHP cop should be clueless at this point....or ever really. File the written dispute, complain to the local CHP office about this waste of everyone's time. Maybe throw a bone...

AMT was a much bigger issue in 2017 than 2018 onward, as the Trump tax bill took effect and the deductions that pushed middle tier tax payers into AMT were mostly eliminated.

Dealers have long played this game. I remember nearly 30 years ago having a dealer pretend I was the unreasonable one for wanting a Toy Truck 4x4 with 6k miles on it for less than the price my mother paid for a similar new model 3 weeks earlier. She paid 18.3, they wanted 20+. And would not...

the onus remains on you to contribute a useful alternative. It's your circus, mate.

but no more than anyone else who bough a popular car or truck and paid a 10k ADM. It's hard to predict when bubbles pop, and quite a few have been broke trying to short the market. In my case, I needed to get my existing vehicle (subaru) to my mother before winter. At least I was on...
