The ‘spindle’ Lexus grille is back, but this time it’s more flower petal than full-on predator”

Yeah that interior is not great and it immediately stuck out to me that much of it looks lifted from the outgoing car, hence why it already looks old.

I’d be stunned if that gave him the advantage for the win. Truex is a weapon at Martinsville and always a threat. You don’t see a lot of this at faster tracks because of the aero hit. It really only works at short tracks. Read more

The FBI was so eager in asking for footage of protesters that might have broken the law but I wonder what they are doing with all the footage of police brutality endangering people’s lives. Read more

On a broad scale, he explained that with BMW’s expansive line of vehicles, the brand wants to start differentiating each model more, giving them unique identities. Read more

I actually agree with differentiating the models. I’m often confused by whether i’m looking at an A4, A6 or A8 and I actually follow this stuff Read more
