Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

It could've looked so much better if not for the golf clubs requirement. The E-Ray 5 spoke wheels are so hot though. They ARE good looking ramz.....the E Ray is a cool piece of engineering and so much more practical than a Z06.....but the base price is close on paper (I assume there is a zillion do...

Golf clubs don't explain the trashy grids and the lights are also mediocre. They just needed to call some guys at Pininfarina and ask for help.

Yep. Which is kind of a turnoff if you're shelling out $85K.

I saw another C8 at the Costco gas station last night. Crappy wheels...the square exhaust, WHITE....:flaccid: Everything has to be just right with these or it's a no go. I think the proportions of the C8 are off. So it only looks good if the color and all is just right. Yep. Which is kind of a turn...

Turn Signals Optional: Gberg’s M3

OK i am not alone in this... I always found the claims of "shit just hoses off" exaggerated with both the car and the wheels. Coated or not. I do find that dirt doesn't stick AS much to a coated car but it may be a marginal improvement at best... and it is a bit easier to clean. With whee...

Same. Even after I use the brake buster with a foam cannon and agitation, I still have plenty of dirt spots left on the wheel.
Yeah and there is a big rain/dirt mixture that isn't coming off without some contact work.

It's more to save time at the end of the day. If you can clean the :ramz: with a simple hose off, that's a win.

Never eaten pork rinds, but just scoped out a few nutrition labels across brands. Didn’t see that disclaimer, but my only thought is that maybe it’s because the fat content is almost as high as the protein, so you’re getting more fat calories than protein calories :iono: Animal protein should be an...

The teal Trailhunter is great. That would be my pick. I am so confused by their lineup though. So much overlap between 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and GX. Land Cruiser and 4Runner especially. Same exact size, same power train, all the same tech... I'm guessing the Land Cruiser will be slightly more expe...
