Rear.

What are /o/'s comments on the news?

My comment is that they're releasing too many cars. MP4-12C, 540C, 570S, 625C, 650S, 675LT, P1, I'm starting to lose track. And yes, I had to look it up on Wikipedia.

>makes one awesome car 20 years ago

>makes pretty good performance cars now and a halo hypercar model, but like 10 different variants of those lesser models.

Where did all this startup cash come from? Was it all built from revenue off of the mp4 12c?

Here you can see where the blades dug into the housing.

hello?

>>15479508
It depends on how chewed up it is. As long as the new impeller spins freely I would say it's fine. There may be a slight loss in efficiency since the surface isn't smooth but it's probably negligible.

Murrika problems I guess. Enjoy your stone age Peedurbills.

>>15479489
It is all old tech.

The only hard part is getting the cash and political will to built the infrastructure.

Once you have major routes between cities and ports electrified. The trucking companies will start adopting trucks that can use it.

>perf car A can now get massive gains from simple mods and a tune while maintaining better economy off boost

turbo is best

The M2 is their least disappointing car yet, but it's still nowhere as good as their cars prior to 2006.

There's a few issues with it.

>1, it's a bitch to keep clean, seriously, there's a guy here who says he uses a mix of simple green and something else to clean his suburban with bedliner on it, and scrub brushes

>2, if it begins to rust underneath at all, have fun

>3, after so long it begins to go to shit and can be a bitch to remove

>4, it looks like fucking garbage, just primer or faux-tina the thing, anything but bedliner

>>15478867
Every person I've seen do it is doing so because of rust. I'd never buy a vehicle with it done nor would I apply it as it looks like shit.

>>15478867
It looks like shit, use plastidip or getgud and afford new paint

>Who in their right mind buys the most basic shitbox version of a car and then throws on the highest trim bodykits, wheels, facelifts etc that mostly cost as much as the car
Someone who wants to look fast without having to worry about the running costs and maintenance involved in owning a sports car. It's less flashy rice and girls won't know the difference if it's clean enough.

A bit sad since you'll get bent over by Mustangs and Camaros at the lights, though.

What are your comments?

>>15477874
Yeah, goes great with the cheap fan plastered in the middle of the dash and the Intel sticker.

since it's the radio, you should aim for best value vs best looking

i'd try to find something with bluetooth and a small touchscreen that costs 100 more but has so much more to offer

Eww to everything there. And no, it isn't, you can get basic looking Pioneers that allow you to set the color to whatever you like.

There's your problem. You could fit more stuff in a Golf.
