If hanging around Zurich, consider an afternoon trip to Jenins (pic below). It is a quaint little village with a few vineyards and restaurants. Good place to chill with the family. Another place about the same distance as Zermatt from Zurich is Andermatt (where the James Bond movie Goldfinger...
Whether black is a color or just the absence of all color is a subject that has been debated for centuries. As a proud member of the Black Taycan Club, I am pleased to report that Porsche has, once and for all, settled the debate by defining "Black" as an "Exterior Color" on the configurator...
I just hope that Porsche does not someday pull a douchebag move (like their pal Elon) and classify black as a PTS color. But I do think it is great that Porsche allows folks with bad taste, i.e. those who prefer a color other than black, to get exactly what they like. ?
What??? My Elvis collector plates are worthless? (Sh*t!) Don't be sad, if people are dumb enough to pay a lot of money for something of no real value, I commend Porsche and others for being smart enough to take their money. Car NFTs are just the logical digital extension of what Porsche is...
Little wonder about the camry. They are now "assembled" in Kentucky by "Pillbillies." Hard to focus on the Toyota Production System when workers are jacked up on crystal meth and Mountain Dew.
I don't mean to insult every model that GM has ever produced (I actually owned a Cadillac ELR which I think was a great car for its time -- pity that they only sold about 3000 of them). For sure, GM, Ford etc. know how to make decent cars, but that...

I think that Porsche will be safe, at least for a while, but the likes of Nio and Avatr 12 will cause some serious issues for the likes of Ford and GM. The Chinese EVs are very much tech-forward and doing a great job...
This is a great thread, and now that I have discovered someone on the forum who has at least studied architecture, I will share my latest OCD garage remodel experience with the hope of finding some advice! For the last 90+ days, I have been googling the sh*t out of the internet looking for some...
You are correct, no frunk in the MB EQE. It does however have a nifty trap door storage compartment underneath the floor in the back. Quite spacious actually -- would have been a perfect place for MB to put a spare tire (but those seem to be completely out of fashion these days). The MB is...
While running my Macan loaner through the car wash today (sorry Porsche, no hand wash for the loaner) look what popped out right behind me, an EQE SUV.
The driver said that he worked for MB and was responsible for training dealers on the new tech. He also claimed that the SUV would show up...
Blasphemy! ;) The only physical button that I regularly need to access is the diamond button on the steering wheel when I need to select a new song. I find that all the automatic controls (climate, lighting, etc.) work just fine -- set and forget. Rather than junk up the car with more...
Let your imagination run a little wild. In 8-10 years there will likely be some great new battery tech available. Imagine a 911 EV that weighs in at or around 3000 lbs, has a solid state battery that charges in 5 minutes, 400+ mile range, four motors, 1000+hp, lab-grown leather, massive regen...
You just hit the nail on the head, the best response to an inquisitive, EV-disparaging Wal*Martian is to tell him that you don't know jack crap about EVs and the only reason you bought the Taycan was because Joe Burrow drives one. End of discussion.
Of course the EV grills are nothing more than vestigial design signatures. Like most industrial designs, form follows function, and folks likes RR historically did an admirable job of marrying the necessary function, i.e. cooling the internal combustion engine, with the form of the car...
It appears that the same wankers who designed the Jaguar iPace had a hand (no pun intended) in designing the Spectre. One day perhaps they will come to understand that EVs do not need radiators and oversized grills to cool the motors. For sure I would take the Taycan, sans grill, everyday...
