I put down 500 fully refundable. For dealers where you can't even do a test drive because of scarcity, any reputable dealer should let you cancel. It's not like these cars are hard to sell. My local dealer can't keep them longer than a week!

I'm at 450km so still early in my break-in. Went for another run up Canadian Mt Washington here on Vancouver Island. Got to play with a friendly ~2000 era RHD Subaru and had a quick chat at a stop light. Car people are awesome. So much for staying under 4500rpm during break-in. At least the...

*Laughs nervously in Canadian*

What does everyone think about another sprint weekend? I think we've bashed Checo enough so how about race formats?

By the way, if you ever get an idiot in an older car that revs their engine and races you to the next stoplight to show how they beat you: put on your best concerned face, roll down your window, and tell them they're putting out a lot of white smoke at WOT. They'll never entirely shake the...

2023 MT. Used bimmercode with no issues. Some people have had wonky issues with Auto Stop-Start, but I just enabled memory and start in Sport - no problems.

Not sure why you quoted my self-evident statement. You asked me to clarify why I think F1 favours moments of brilliance ahead of consistency. I hope my post satisfied your request. All competition is about winning, but the scoring in F1 is heavily weighted towards the front. Risk taking...

Let's say you're one of the mid-field teams like Alpine. You have a good driver like Ocon who routinely gets 7th to 10th place in 20 races. Let's say 10, 9, 8, 7 which repeats for all 20 races. He would get 1, 2, 4, and 6 points for those places. 19 every four races, which means 96 points over...

BMW jack pads for your jack stands.

3km. However, my CAR was an Ontario allotment so it came 3 time zones west.

The problem purists have with team orders is that F1 is a competitive sport, and team orders go against the spirit of competition. The drivers want to race. Alpha Tauri, McLaren, and Mercedes all had drivers competing with each other at some point in that race. All three were told what to do...

Well at least LH isn't getting that sort of preferential treatment now. I mean can you imagine if he ran George off the track, or got better track position based on team orders? Not in this day and age, I assure you. ;)

What do you mean "you people"?

I was going to suggest trying to mimic the Mazda Jewel Red from their current lineup. I hope they'll put it on the RX9 if it happens.

Welcome to the Blues Brothers! Strat doesn't immediately draw attention like yellow or red, but you definitely get double-takes.

I'm new to this car but I learned on my '05 RSX. The RSX had far less power (160 new) and it's very mechanical, so it taught me how to drive manual properly. Put another way: it definitely let me know if I did something wrong. I still don't heel-toe well, but you can clutch-in brake without...

As an F1 driver, your only direct competition is your teammate. They're the only one in the same car. Sucks for Cheko. Sucked for Bottas. Sucks for Stroll. Max is having an incredible season in a dominant car. Lewis is still showing he's a top talent, but the Mercedes is behind RB and...

I took delivery on Friday. Today I went for a break-in rip up Mt Washington (Canadian Mt Washington on Van Isle). The next week is supposed to be solid rain. I've only had the car a few days and it seems to lower the IQ of nearby drivers. Is this just an unlucky weekend or do you guys notice...

I rolled off the lot to the sound of the exhaust, but Daddy Cool by Boney M. might be the first song to grace the JBL's. This has been an entertaining thread ;)

Thanks for all the replies. I was supposed to get the car yesterday but their finance department was fully booked - today it is! They can't miss their chance to try to get me to finance, or buy extended warranty. I'm showing up with a bank draft. I have two mixes ready for the car. One is...
