    I don't understand how they got the luxury tag. Tesla aren't luxurious at all. Must be purchase price. You compare the interior of a plaid vs a Mercedes S63 it's not even close. Teslas have the interior of a Hyundai Sonata lol

    It's a niche market. If you want an EV, you buy a Tesla. Notice EV sales are terrible for every other car manufacturer?

    Tesla isn't a good company at all. They honestly don't even have a good product. IMHO, they are a niche type of car, that supports the current "fad". They have always done their customers wrong. They certainly arent supportive when that battery pack give up the ghost lol

    Are all 229.5 Oils the same?

    So if an oil meets the 229.5 spec, are we wasting our money buying a more expensive product?

    New BMW X3 M40, INSANE power delivery (2024)

    Alfa Romeo Guila 2.9 Owners?

    Anyone in this group own one? Have a chance to pick one up with every option, including carbon ceramic rotors. Ive driven a few, and they are cool cars, but every owner I've talked has had all kinds of issues with these cars. That 2.9 505hp V6 has me thinking though.....I work on cars if that...

    New BMW X3 M40, INSANE power delivery (2024)

    911s and Vettes hold up well. But Miatas dominate for sure.....even the Miatas with V6 upgrades are reliable

    New BMW X3 M40, INSANE power delivery (2024)

    It's actually pretty reliable on the track. It eats tires and brakes, but its a good car. Intercooler upgrade, tune, and a pair of pure 900s only upgrades I've got. Now I used to own a F10 M5 and that **** thing was a easy 10 second car, but always broke. Always. Finally dropped an injector...
