A few have been catching my eye





















Dont wait on manufacturer's mods when you can do it yourself

It’s a car the world has never really seen before. The Sixteen has been getting a lot of attention since it was first announced in 2013. Many thought it’ll be nothing more but pure fantasy and legend. Now there’s video evidence of it being driven in Dubai.




The Devil has an insane design language that most probably bears resemblance to the Lamborghini Egoista, Pagani Zonda and Koenigsegg. Of course, the Devil we have here is on a whole crazier level. Under its hood, there is a sixteen-cylinder engine that delivers a total of 5,000 horsepower. It’s a definitely mind-blowing car with a starting price tag of $1.3 million. The Sixteen looks like the marriage of a Le Mans Prototype and a modern hypercar.

For all of the mechanics out there, ya'll ever have to deal with things like this?

In the world of supercars, there are vehicles that always warrant a second look — cars that are so attractive and iconic; they end up lining the bedroom walls of enthusiasts in their formative years. Decades ago, that car was the Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari Testarossa. Today, amidst the advent of the electric era, that car is the next-generation Tesla Roadster — a vehicle that Elon Musk aptly dubbed as a “hardcore smackdown” to fossil fuel-powered automobiles.

TeslaÂ’s next-gen Roadster prototype made a rare appearance in Los Angeles over the weekend at the ArtCenter College of DesignÂ’s Car Classic 2018 exhibition. The weekend event celebrated the 70th anniversary of the CollegeÂ’s Transportation Design program, which has produced some of the worldÂ’s most iconic designers, including Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen and TeslaÂ’s Director of Product Design, Javier Verdura. Both are alumni of the Southern California-based ArtCenter who became friends in the early 90s while attending the schoolÂ’s design program.

Several high-profile vehicles were showcased alongside a gorgeous red Tesla next-generation Roadster at SundayÂ’s annual car classic, including Henrik FiskerÂ’s EMotion all-electric sports car, a Michelle Christensen-designed Acura NSX, and a Sasha Selipanov/Chris Ha-designed Genesis Essentia concept car.

Attendees of the exhibition took to social media to share stunning images of TeslaÂ’s upcoming all-electric supercar.

Short of it: People in ATL were setting up LLC's in Montana to buy exotics and circumvent taxes. GA did a sting and plans to crackdown on it to recoup taxes from these owners.

I've been hearing about this tactic on a few YT car channels recently, and now it's being investigated.


How long before it effects all the people renting super cars cuz dealerships can't afford em

Edit: Another vid from Vinwiki that's breaking it down


Edit: Update with argument for the people using this loophole

Them hub cap wheels though.

CR lacks data to rank Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover, Maserati, Mitsubishi, or Smart.

Asian Automakers
Lexus: Lexus and Toyota again lead in CR’s predicted reliability ranking—the sixth year in a row. This year all Lexus models with sufficient data were rated average or above. (We did not have sufficient data on the redesigned LS sedan.)

Toyota: The Tacoma continues to have problems with the driver system and in the transmission minor trouble spots. The redesigned 2018 Camry saw a slight drop in reliability—but only to better than average. Members said they had some problems with the Entune infotainment system, and rough shifting from the eight-speed automatic transmission. This shows that even a reliable brand such as Toyota has to work out bugs after a redesign.

Mazda: The automaker worked out problems that plagued the CX-9 SUV and MX-5 Miata roadster. However, the CX-3 SUV is rated below average because of climate system problems.

Subaru: The redesigned Impreza small car had problems last year, but it has rebounded with better-than-average reliability. The redesigned Crosstrek SUV has much-better-than-average first-year reliability. The sporty WRX was the only Subaru with below-average reliability because of transmission problems.

Kia: The Sportage SUV is similar to the Hyundai Tucson, but it has been much more reliable. Likewise, the Niro hybrid is similar to the Hyundai Ioniq but has above-average predicted reliability. The new-for-2018 Stinger hatchback is average, while the Cadenza sedan came in as much worse than average, with owners reporting faulty thermostat sensors, problems with the climate system, and engine cooling.

Infiniti: The Infiniti brand has rebounded, with the Q50 sedan and QX60 SUV improving to average.

Hyundai: The Tucson SUVÂ’s 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder engine and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission have been a significant source of trouble. The transmission suffered from rough shifting, computer problems, and slipping. The Ioniq hybrid came in below average, with owners noting rough shifts from the six-speed transmission, and engine problems.

Genesis: The G80 had above-average reliability, and the G90 was below average, with reported problems in the areas of body hardware and power equipment.

Acura: The past few years have seen Acura—Honda’s luxury brand—add new automatic transmissions and infotainment systems, and they caused reliability headaches. These problems have been worked out on most models, although the MDX is still below average in these two areas.

Nissan: The redesigned Leaf electric car and Maxima sedan rated above average. Two models were below average: the Titan pickup and the Versa Note. The NoteÂ’s problems included engine issues.

Honda: HondaÂ’s reliability is bogged down by some of its new and redesigned models. The Odyssey minivan had much-worse-than-average reliability, with problems including the infotainment system, and door locking and unlocking. The CR-V SUV and the new Accord dropped to average, with problems including the infotainment system and interior rattles. HondaÂ’s Clarity line of alternative-fuel cars had much-worse-than-average reliability. Reported problems included electronic glitches.

Domestic Automakers
Ford: This brand was the best of all the domestics. The Taurus, the oldest model in FordÂ’s lineup, had much-better-than-average reliability. But the usually reliable Fusion dropped to below average, mainly because of problems with the Sync 3 infotainment system screen freezing. The Mustang and Explorer were worse than average. Both had some problems with the climate system and body hardware.

Buick: The redesigned Enclave SUV had a much-worse-than-average rating, with owners reporting problems related to the new nine-speed transmission: rough shifts, the transmission computer, and the torque converter. The LaCrosse sedan, and the Encore and Envision SUVs were average.

Lincoln: The lone bright spot for Lincoln was the ContinentalÂ’s much-better-than-average reliability. The MKC and MKX SUVs remained below average, and the MKZ sedan dropped to below average.

Dodge: Of the FCA brands, Dodge was the best. Reliability of the Charger sedan improved to better than average, and the Grand Caravan minivan was average. The Challenger coupe had problems with the transmission. The Durango and Journey SUVs had multiple problem areas. All three remained below average.

Jeep: This brand had mixed results. The Grand Cherokee and Renegade SUVs improved to average, and the Cherokee and Compass SUVs had below-average reliability.

Chevrolet: The redesigned Traverse SUV had much-worse-than-average reliability and shared the same transmission problems as the Enclave, along with the infotainment display freezing or staying blank. The redesigned 2018 Equinox SUV came in with average reliability, the Suburban and Tahoe SUVs improved to average or better, and the Bolt electric car remained average.

Chrysler: While the Chrysler 300 sedanÂ’s reliability improved to average, the Pacifica minivan fell to below average. Top issues were a frozen or blank display screen, navigation and radio problems. Transmission problems included the transmissionÂ’s computer.

GMC: There are three GMC models with average or better reliability: the Terrain, Yukon, and Yukon XL SUVs. But the GMC Acadia SUV was worse than average, with infotainment and power equipment problems.

Ram: The previous-generation 1500 and the 2500 had average reliability. The 3500 was below average.

Tesla: The Model S sedan has dropped to below average, with suspension problems and other issues that included the extending door handle. The first-year Model 3 sedan had average reliability, while the Model X SUV stayed much worse than average, with problems including the falcon doors and center display screen.

Cadillac: GM's luxury brand remains troubled, with only the XTS sedan coming in with better-than-average reliability. The other models stayed below average, with issues related to rough shifting on the CT6 sedan and Escalade SUV, and in-car electronics on other models.

European Automakers
Audi: All the Audi models that we have sufficient reliability data for rated average or better, although the scores were not as high as theyÂ’ve been in previous years. This includes the 2018 Q5 SUV, and the A5 coupe and convertible. A number of Audi sedans and SUV are being redesigned for 2019.

BMW: The redesigned X3 was below average, with climate system problems, including coolant leaks, and seat controls that required the seatback to be replaced. The X1 dropped to below average, with suspension problems, premature brake wear, and steering-wheel vibrations.

Mini: BMWÂ’s Mini brand saw the Cooper improve to average and the Countryman to above average.

Porsche: The German performance brand sees a wide variation in reliability, with the Cayenne SUV being the least reliable model and the 911 sports car have above-average reliability.

Volkswagen: The new Atlas SUV had much-worse-than-average reliability. The most notable problem area for the Atlas was with the climate system. The Golf and redesigned Tiguan were average, but the GTI was still below average.

Mercedes-Benz: The C-Class coupe and sedan improved to average, but the GLC SUV and the E-Class were below average. Members reported in-car electronics and engine problems on the E-Class.

Volvo: Our members told us that the XC60 SUV suffered from display screen freezes; problems with the climate system and interior cabin rattles. Complaints were still numerous on the XC90 SUVÂ’s infotainment system, mainly screen freezes and blank display. The S90 sedan shared those problems in addition to complaints about engine knocking or pinging.

Others: We had sufficient data on one Alfa Romeo model, the Giulia sedan, which has much-worse-than-average reliability. Notable problems were the keyless entry and seat controls. The only Jaguar with sufficient data is the F-Pace SUV, which is still much worse than average. Problems were in-car electronics, such as screen freezes or a blank display, and differential fluid leaks.
