I just confirmed (you had me doubting myself, briefly) that the new M2 comes with either the manly manual or the girlie automatic (no charge) in the new G87 platform. I agree that it's not as attractive as the previous gen, and I would not buy one. Plus, I had the previous gen and it was just...

I'm pretty sure that the M2 (and M3 and M4) are available with a manual. You need to find another reason not to get one. I can help (I had one, albeit OG). I feel like I'm being baited here. :unsure:

Apologies in advance for the long story and the eventual cross-post to another forum. In 1980 I was visiting some friends at their apartment complex, and I saw a really pretty burgundy Corvette in the parking lot. The license plate surround said "My Other Car is a Cadillac". How stupid, I...

As noted above (but I feel like I have to restate it all) the Audi is not renowned for its reliability nor cost of ownership (I've had two of them) and the ride quality kind of sucks and the handling isn't all that and for many years now, Audi has stopped shipping us three pedal cars, so they...

As noted above, you have to format it as FAT32.

Flippers, folks with car ADD, people who think they'll like it because of great reviews, folks who like it but want more, and move to the CT5, people who thought they wanted a manual/automatic and traded for an automatic/manual. The Porsche world is full of these lightly used cars.

I know it can be a hassle importing a car, but perhaps in this case it may be worth it. FInd a car in the USA that meets your criteria and buy that, ship it/drive it home (you don't say where in Canada you are). Anyway, I'm sad to read the story and sorry that you went through all of that...

The more correct answer to the otherwise excellent answers posted earlier here is, how often do you hit curbs now? Me, for instance, it's incredibly rare, and I never get the insurance. The wife on the other hand... OMG. Still even then, I don't get the insurance because it's cheaper for me...

I wrote: "No offense intended for the girls here". The title of the thread is "I have become that guy" which implicitly excludes the ladies, and some women get justifiably upset when we presume that all car forums are exclusively male. So, I'm sure that there's some old lady here who can...

Yeah, what Dinkman said. I'm in NC, the dealers here suck if they even have inventory, they want tens of thousands over MSRP and charge stupid doc fees, ditto large dealers in the Southeast, so I bought my car from a dealer in Michigan. I had it shipped because I didn't want to deal with the...

I'll ask the nurse to keep an eye open for it.

No offense intended for the girls here. Yesterday I left work a few minutes early but still late for an appointment, so I was zooming down the highway and when I went to move the turn signal stalk for a lane change, it clicked with some resistance and then moved. I thought, "well, that's odd"...

LOL, to his "counter". Really though, you're already getting a $6K discount, I think that's pretty good these days. The fees are nonsense, but unfortunately, SOP. All I would suggest for your remote purchase is to get your financing approved if you are not paying cash, and a signed contract...

Thanks for the offer! I do not play golf though.

Hey. I looked good in that hat. Style is priceless.

I paid MSRP, and I got zero pens, keychains, golf balls, shirts, bottles or anything else although perhaps they may have filled up the tank, I can't recall. Oh well. It could be worse, I could have paid $10K over sticker for a Kia.

It could just be dribbling a bit out of the nozzles, which are right where the air intake is for the cabin air... Some of us dribble a bit more as we get older.

I am obviously biased to bmw, I've had many of them including M5s, and the new ones have just staggering performance. Hard for me to ignore the S7 though, it looks fabulous, nicer interior, more unique. Both can be (like the MB) potential money pits, but that's kind of a crap shoot. I've had...

Exactly, there a huge cost in the mining of the lithium and other minerals for the batteries, and the future costs of recycling and/or burying these toxic chemicals. Assuming of course, that the car didn't burst into flames and consume itself along with the driver and passengers.

OK, so first of all, I can't help being old, and I can't help it if I have a bit of flatulence. Give us old farts a break, eh? Second, I read a biography of Musk a few years ago. I need to give him credit for overcoming (as many of us did, of some nature) his childhood and taking huge chances...
