That was the only design issue I've had with newer Mercs, but for whatever reason, it actually kinda fits inside the GT. Or maybe I'm just getting used to it. Still, it does always look a little tacked-on. Read more

Cayman-esque might be a stretch, but the confidence is there for sure. And even mid-corner lifts seem to rotate it more predictably than the last Boxster I drove. But that's front-engine for you... Read more

I'll be driving an S today and check it out. Didn't have the time (or inclination) to play with it on the GT. Read more

I've got some bare engine shots I'll try to upload later today. Read more

What Vin said/illustrated. The shifter sits in one position and you pull it back to shift into Drive, push forward for N or Reverse, and then press a stupid little button for Park. Read more

It'll work. AMG is pushing that it's a daily driver, just like it's competitive set, and I don't disagree. Most of us wouldn't hesitate to daily a 911 or maybe even an R8, and the GT slots in perfectly with those as far as road manners. Then again, our standards for streetable might be a bit different from the person… Read more

It's all about incremental improvements. For years I said I wouldn't ride until they developed a massive beach ball that inflated around me, letting me bounce down the road unscathed. I'm still waiting, but I'm also riding. Cars are safer, there's no question. But anything that reduces the risk of injury – even by a… Read more

For some riders, maybe. But I think any rider that's had a spill (or three), something that boosts protection generally doesn't affect riding style. It hurts no matter what. That said, I'm more cautious when running around town in (kevlar-lined) jeans, boots, and a leather jacket rather than my one-piece. Read more

From our Slack chat:

That was the first thing I said to Wes when he sent over the link. MAGICTIRES! Read more

I cannot tell you how many times I've had this debate over numerous beers. At a certain point, they're right-side-up when everyone is doing it, right? Read more

I said they're not my thing. This site is for everyone into two wheels (plus those on the fence) and if I didn't think this Guzzi was pretty awesome, I wouldn't have posted it. Nor did I stereotype every cruiser owner as a balding, chap-wearing dentist with more disposable income than taste. Why? Because they aren't.… Read more

A lot of the people buying the S couldn't care less about the performance either, but that isn't stopping Musk and Tesla from making something that's fun to drive. Read more

The D – Thanks for the note. I amended the text regarding output. As for the photos, blame Aprilia. They can't get their media shit together (although that's across the board with bike co.s) Read more

It's all about fashion. Again, keeping up with the Joneses. MV has everything to gain technically, and Mercedes just gets another jewel in its crown. Read more

Confession: I desperately want an X6 M. But the two dogs are the issue. Unless I downgrade from lab/pointers to chihuahuas Read more

That's the biggest size I was sent for the story. Check the flickr stream below, too.

They run off the conveyer with the doors locked. Read more

No, the autopilot stuff just started getting installed. It's hardware that's going to be activated by a software update. Read more
